The nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan caused widespread concern. In this context, the development prospects of wind power and other clean energy industries are more optimistic. The European Wind Energy Association issued a communique in the Belgian capital Brussels a few days ago that the EU plans to invest 400 billion euros in the next 20 years to implement the wind power industry plan. Industry sources pointed out that domestic wind power equipment is increasingly showing global competitiveness in terms of costs, and is expected to benefit from the development of wind power in Europe in the next 20 years.
Europe has always been a leader in the wind power market. As of the end of 2009, its cumulative installed capacity was 7655.3 MKW, accounting for 47.9% of the total installed capacity of wind power in the world, exceeding the target of installing 4000 MW of wind power capacity by 2010. However, in terms of new installed capacity in 2009, Europe accounted for only 28.2%, North America reached 39.3%, Asia reached 30%, Europe began to lose its leading position for many years, and China and the United States became the locomotive driving the global wind power industry.
It is to see this situation that European wind energy practitioners continue to exert pressure on decision makers. It is reported that the European Wind Energy Association recently called on the EU to set early 2030 renewable energy goals to ensure that the EU has a stable energy policy to facilitate long-term investment arrangements for the wind power industry. Earlier, the association has expressed its satisfaction with the EU's renewable energy goals for 2020, but is worried about its subsequent policy gap.
At present, the association supports the renewable energy target of 2030 recommended by the European Renewable Energy Council. That is, over 45% of EU energy consumption will come from renewable energy sources, of which wind power generation will account for 28.5% of electricity production.
In a letter to the European Wind Energy Association, Fan Longpei, a permanent member of the European Council, also stated that it is necessary to pay attention to the problems that have emerged since the end of the energy policy in 2020. According to the 2020 national plan currently formulated by EU member states, wind power generation will account for 14% of the total power generation in the EU in the next 10 years.
In the face of this favorable situation, Chinese wind power companies are expected to share a share. According to a statistics from Donghai Securities, the current installed cost of wind power in Europe is around 1350 euros/kW, which is converted at an exchange rate of 8.8 yuan/euro. The installed cost of foreign wind power is about 11,800 yuan/kW, and the installed cost of wind power in China is currently At 4000 yuan/kW or so, the advantages of cost competition support the large export of wind turbines in China.
“Actually, an incomplete statistic shows that China's wind turbine exports increased by 8.8 times in 2010, and orders in 2011 also increased by 6.3 times from 2010 exports, further confirming the optimistic outlook for the export of wind power equipment in China. The export of wind turbines will be further accelerated, which in turn will drive the rapid growth of China's wind power industry, said Niu Jigang, an analyst at Donghai Securities.
At present, there are 24 listed companies related to wind power equipment in China, among which wind power equipment suppliers include Sinovel Wind Power and Dongfang Electric. At present, Huarui Wind Power and other companies have begun to develop wind turbines with a single power of 5MW. Other listed companies have their own bearings, gearboxes, blades, converters, towers, generators, yaw systems, central monitoring systems, electronic control systems, hydraulic systems, wheels, and cabins. Certain advantages. With the rapid increase in the installed capacity of wind power, the wind power equipment component manufacturers will also achieve breakthrough development in a relatively short period of time and are expected to benefit from the increase in wind power investment in Europe.
