据离岸能源2月6日消息称，根据WindEurope的数据，欧洲在2019年新增了36吉瓦的海上风电产能，创下了年度产能的新纪录。
来自5个国家的10个新海上风力发电场投产，其中英国占了新增产能的近一半，达到1.7吉瓦。
德国紧随其后，发电量为1.1吉瓦，丹麦为374兆瓦，比利时为370兆瓦。
欧洲目前的海上风电产能为22吉瓦，其中英国和德国占四分之三，丹麦、比利时和荷兰几乎占据了其余的全部份额。
葡萄牙的大西洋浮式风能项目的启动使欧洲的海上风能达到45兆瓦。
2019年，四个新的海上风力发电场也做出了投资决定，总产能达1.4吉瓦，投资额达60亿欧元。
WindEurope首席执行官Giles Dickson表示：“欧洲确实在2019年接受了海上风能。拍卖价格显示，现在建造海上风力发电比建造新的天然气或煤炭发电厂更便宜。一些政府提高了他们想要建设的数量。去去年这个时候，我们预计到2030年将达到76吉瓦。现在是100吉瓦。”
“但我们目前还没有足够的建设来实现这一目标，更不用说实现绿色协议所需的更雄心勃勃的规模。欧盟委员会表示，到2050年，我们需要高达450吉瓦的海上风电。这意味着到2030年，每年将新增7吉瓦的海上风能；到2050年，每年将增加18吉瓦。去年，我们创造了纪录，但只有3吉瓦。”

Europe Installs Record 3.6GW of Offshore Wind in 2019
Europe installed 3.6GW of new offshore wind capacity in 2019, which is a new record in annual installations, according to WindEurope.
Ten new offshore wind farms came online across five countries, with the UK accounting for nearly half of the new capacity with 1.7GW.
Germany follows with 1.1GW, Denmark with 374MW and Belgium with 370MW.
Europe now has 22GW of offshore wind, of which the UK and Germany account for three-quarters and Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands share nearly all of the rest.
The launch of the WindFloat Atlantic project in Portugal brought Europe to 45MW of floating offshore wind.
2019 also saw investment decisions in four new offshore wind farms, representing 1.4GW in capacity and EUR 6 billion in investments.
“Europe really embraced offshore wind in 2019. Auction prices showed it’s now cheaper to build offshore wind than new gas or coal plants. Several Governments raised the amount they want to build. This time last year we were looking at 76 GW by 2030. Now it’s 100 GW,” said WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson.
“But we’re not currently building enough to deliver on that, let alone the more ambitious volumes needed to deliver the Green Deal. The EU Commission says we need up to 450 GW of offshore by 2050. That means 7 GW new offshore wind every year by 2030 and 18 GW onwards by 2050. Last year we built a record amount, but only 3 GW.”
