So much solar: Digging into the list of every US power plant that went online this year
摘要
根据美国能源信息署数据，今年上半年美国共有368座公用事业规模电厂投运，其中以大型太阳能项目为主。新墨西哥州的SunZia风电项目于春季并网，总装机容量3650兆瓦，成为美国最大风电场，该项目历经约十年建设，其投运正值美国陆上风电因监管和公众意见等因素发展放缓之际。
It’s been a wild first half of the year in the US power sector, with announcements of gigantic natural gas power plants and some long-awaited renewable energy projects coming online.
At times of rapid change, forecasting is difficult. So I feel a measure of comfort focusing on something concrete like the list of 368 utility-scale plants that began operation from January to June, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration. The group is dominated by utility-scale solar.
This is a top-heavy list, led by SunZia Wind South and SunZia Wind North in New Mexico, which went online this spring and are the largest wind farms in the country, with a combined generating capacity of 3,650 megawatts. SunZia has been in the works for about a decade and arrives at a time when US onshore wind power development has dwindled for a host of reasons related to regulations and public opinion.
