The situation facing the new energy industry

International situation. The increasingly serious environmental problems make people begin to think about the main reason for the problem – the unreasonable use of energy, which is also related to the problem of national energy security, so all countries in the world have begun to find solutions, and new energy has become a An effective way to solve this problem. The development of the international new energy industry presents the following trends: First, in order to promote the transformation of the global energy structure and thus cope with climate change, the development of the new energy industry has become an important measure. Reports from major international institutions have pointed out that the development of the new energy industry plays a pivotal role in achieving the goal of addressing climate change.

Judging from the current development trend, the energy structure of various countries in the world has shifted from the fossil energy system to the low-carbon energy system. new trend. In order to develop synchronously with other countries in the world, the development of new energy occupies a core position in the development strategies of countries around the world. More than 90% of the United Nations climate change “Paris Agreement” signatory countries have set new energy development goals. In the process of dealing with greenhouse gas emission reduction, the European Union and developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom have all regarded the development of the new energy industry as a key project. Second, the substitution effect of new energy in some countries is significant.

In recent years, the traditional power generation industry in Europe and the United States has been “making way” for the new energy industry, as evidenced by the data that more than 60% of the newly installed power generation capacity comes from the new energy industry every year. The construction of the global power system is undergoing a structural transformation. In 2015, the new installed capacity of new energy power generation in the world exceeded the installed capacity of thermal power generation for the first time, which accelerated the process of the transformation of the global energy structure. The proportion of new energy power generation in the United States is also increasing year by year. In addition to developed countries, countries such as South Africa and Saudi Arabia are also actively building new energy power generation projects in the new energy industry. Third, the production cost of the new energy industry has been greatly reduced. As countries continue to invest in new energy technology research and development, the technology in the new energy industry has achieved remarkable results. In addition, the application scope of the new energy industry has continued to expand, which has reduced the cost of new energy from two aspects.

At present, the price of wind power equipment is 80% of the price five years ago, and the price of photovoltaic modules is 40% of the price five years ago. The decline in the price of equipment in the new energy industry has led to a reduction in the cost of the new energy industry, which has also driven the level of manufacturing. improvement. At present, in terms of price, the cost of power generation using new energy sources such as wind energy and solar energy in some countries is basically the same as that of thermal power generation.

The decline in the cost of the new energy industry means that the level of profitability will increase, and the government’s support for it can be gradually reduced and eventually withdrawn to cultivate its market competitiveness. Fourth, the new energy industry has become a global strategic emerging industry. In the face of the comprehensive promotion of the development of the new energy industry by the international community, as the strategic commanding point of the new generation of energy technology and the key area of economic development, many countries in the world attach great importance to the technology research and development and industrial development of the new energy industry, and have invested a lot of money. Funds to improve the technical level of new energy. The international competition in the new energy industry has become more and more intense as time goes by, especially in the international disputes on related core technologies and products. Countries all over the world are “eyeing on” the new energy industry, and breakthroughs in the new energy industry are striving to be achieved by countries all over the world.
