The European renewable energy electricity beyond fossil fuel power generation for the first time

Solar photovoltaic (pv) net news: on July 22, solar panels, independent think-tank EMBER nonprofit climate and energy release power system analysis report points out six months, the European renewable energy electricity beyond fossil fuel power generation for the first time.

in the first half of 2020, wind, solar, hydropower and biomass energy and other renewable energy power generation occupy 40% of the 27 eu's electricity, and fossil fuel power generation dropped to only 34%. 1 ~ 6 months, the European Union's 27 countries renewable energy power generation has increased by 11%.

wind and solar power alone and the record of Europe 21% of the total electricity production, and in Denmark ( 64%) , Ireland ( 49%) And Germany ( 42%) The penetration of even higher.

on the other hand, due to the new flu pandemic, electricity demand fell by 7%, plus the renewable energy generation increased, resulting in a decline in fossil fuel power generation by 18%. As a result, the European Union's 27 countries of the electricity sector carbon dioxide ( 二氧化碳) Corresponding emissions decreased by about 23%, total emission reduction of 76 million tons.

Ember electric power industry, a senior analyst at Dave Jones said: & other; This is Europe's symbolic moment in the transformation of the power industry. Under the impetus of the wind and solar energy to replace coal, renewable energy generation more than fossil fuels. Nearly nine years of rapid progress. Want to know, nine years ago Europe's fossil fuel power generation is twice the renewable energy power generation. ”

rapid development of renewable energy, make the biggest impact was felt on the coal. In the first half of 2020, the European Union's 27 countries ( EU- 27) Coal output fell by 32%. Among them, the hard coal production fell by 34%, lignite has fallen by 29%. Even fell by 6%, gas power generation in 11 countries/regions.

although countries in Europe to reduce coal, but the rate of descent and not to other countries. Polish the remaining coal overtook Germany for the first time.

Germany's coal output below Poland for the first time. And polish of coal-fired power now is more than Germany and Poland outside the rest of the 25 eu countries combined. In most other countries/regions, including Germany, have clear plan to phase out coal, but Poland has just begun planning energy transformation.

Poland's reliance on coal and a lack of wind and solar energy to the consumer price. Poland in the first half of the wholesale price, 40 / MWh) Than in Germany ( 23 euro/MWh) Higher than 73%, solar energy, is second only to Greece in Europe's most expensive price of 41 European/MWh.

this year, wind and solar energy market share unprecedented, wind and solar power alone accounted for 22% of European power. This is due to the outbreak of the new champions league resulting in a decline in demand for electricity and also due to most of Europe in February wind filling and sunny in the second quarter. In the 1 - In June, wind and solar energy accounted for 64% of total generating capacity of Denmark China solar energy network, Ireland was 49%, 42% in Germany. Wind and solar power are outstanding.

in the first half of the year, because of the decline in demand for electricity, and even appeared negative electricity prices in some countries. In Ireland, 5% of the time in the first half of 2020 the wholesale price is negative. For the first time in Britain, the Netherlands, Finland and Hungary negative price. Elsewhere, the proportion of the number of hours with negative price also increased.

in addition to the annual report, for the past seven years, solar equipment, Ember annual report issued the relevant European electricity development, above the annual report for 2019 European electricity development
