2020年2月18日,肯尼亞內羅畢訊-世界銀行集團(WBG)與全球離網太陽能協(xié)會(GOGLA)的一份新報告指出：離網太陽能產業(yè)已經成長為年價值17.5億美元的市場,為4.2億用戶提供照明和能源服務，并將保持堅實的增長曲線。
NAIROBI, Feb. 18, 2020 – The off-grid solar industry has grown into a $1.75 billion annual market, providing lighting and other energy services to 420 million users and remains on a solid growth curve, a new World Bank Group and GOGLA report shows.
《2020年離網太陽能市場趨勢報告》認為，在過去的10年中，離網太陽能產業(yè)取得了巨大的進步。自2017年以來，離網太陽能產業(yè)的收入繼續(xù)快速增長，年增長為30%。迄今為止，全球已售出超過1.8億個（套）離網太陽能單元；自2012年以來，該行業(yè)吸引投資達15億美元。
The 2020 Off-Grid Solar Market Trends Report finds that the industry has made tremendous strides in the past decade. Since 2017, revenues from the off-grid solar industry continue to rapidly grow, increasing by 30 percent annually. To date, more than 180 million off-grid solar units have been sold worldwide and the sector saw $1.5 billion in investments since 2012.
由于全球至今仍有8.4億人無法獲得電力，離網太陽能產業(yè)的增長對于實現(xiàn)到2030年普及負擔得起、可靠、可持續(xù)和現(xiàn)代能源的可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標至關重要。
With 840 million people still lacking access to electricity, the growth of the off-grid solar industry is critical to meeting the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG7) for universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy by 2030.
“離網太陽能產業(yè)有助于實現(xiàn)普遍用電”，世界銀行能源與采掘業(yè)全球總監(jiān)、基礎設施非洲區(qū)域總監(jiān)里卡多·普利蒂說（Riccardo Puliti）。“我們正在加大對客戶國家的支持力度，幫助他們通過創(chuàng)新和財政上可持續(xù)的解決方案利用這一潛力”，他補充到。
“The off-grid solar industry is instrumental for achieving universal electricity access,” said Riccardo Puliti, Global Director, Energy and Extractive Industries and Regional Director, Infrastructure, Africa, at the World Bank. “We are scaling up our support to client countries by helping them leverage this potential through innovative and financially sustainable solutions,” he added.
根據(jù)該報告，該行業(yè)將需要額外增加高達110億美元的融資；更具體地說，該行業(yè)需要以13%的加速度增長，向企業(yè)提供高達77億美元的外部投資，以及高達34億美元的公共資金，以彌合支付能力差距。
According to the report, the sector would need an additional boost of up to $11 billion in financing. More specifically, the sector would need to grow at an accelerated rate of 13 percent, with up to $7.7 billion in external investment to companies and up to $3.4 billion of public funding to bridge the affordability gap.
國際金融公司全球金融機構局高級主管保羅德博勒（Paulo de Bolle）表示：“只有規(guī)?；瘮D占商業(yè)金融，我們才能實現(xiàn)到2030年實現(xiàn)普及的目標”，“我們渴望在更成熟的離網市場與當?shù)劂y行合作，在這些市場通過商業(yè)債務推動下一階段的市場增長?！?
“Only by crowding in commercial finance at scale can we reach the target of achieving universal access by 2030,” said Paulo de Bolle, Sr Director, Global Financial Institutions Group for IFC. “We are eager to work with our local bank partners in the more mature off-grid markets where commercial debt can drive the next stage of market growth.”
趨勢表明，隨著已有市場變得更加飽和，公司正在進入新的地區(qū)和服務不足的市場。這些公司也正在轉向更大、利潤率更高的太陽能家庭系統(tǒng)銷售，以應對消費者不斷增長地對家電和備用系統(tǒng)的需求。
Trends demonstrate that companies are moving into new geographies and underserved markets as established markets become more saturated. These companies are also shifting towards larger, higher-margin solar home system sales in response to growing consumer demand for appliances and back-up systems.
“這份報告再次證實了離網太陽能已經取得的重大影響，以及未來仍將面臨的巨大機遇”， GOGLA執(zhí)行董事Koen Peters表示，“市場趨勢報告分享了我們的立場和下一步的發(fā)展方向?！?
“This report is another confirmation of the significant impact off-grid solar has already achieved, and the massive opportunity that remains going forward,” said Koen Peters, Executive Director of GOGLA. “The Market Trends Report shares details on where we stand, and where we should be heading next.”
在內羅畢舉行的全球離網太陽能論壇和展覽會上，世界銀行集團點亮全球項目和全球離網太陽能協(xié)會（GOGLA）聯(lián)合發(fā)布了兩年一次的旗艦產品——離網太陽能市場趨勢報告摘要，肯尼亞總統(tǒng)烏胡魯·肯雅塔今天在會上歡迎了1200多名與會者。報告全文將于2020年3月公布。
