AWEA报告发现风力发电机可以省钱

最初发表在《走进风》中。迈克尔·戈金（Michael Goggin）着。

一份新的白皮书报告发现，由于技术进步推动风能成本暴跌，风能使美国家庭和企业的电费保持较低水平。该报告是由美国风能协会的工作人员编写的，它使用可公开获得的数据以及来自政府，公用事业和其他独立来源的十几项研究来探讨风能如何影响消费者的电费。

该报告的主要亮点来自刚刚发布的能源部数据，该数据显示，风能消耗最大的州的消费者比风能消耗较少的州的消费者好得多。

在过去的五年中，风能发电量最大的州的美国消费者实际上已经降低了0.37％的电价，而在其他所有州中，这段时间内的电价却提高了7.79％。下表总结了相对于其他州（在德克萨斯州，怀俄明州，俄勒冈州，俄克拉荷马州，爱达荷州，科罗拉多州，堪萨斯州，明尼苏达州，北达科他州，南达科他州和爱荷华州），消费者在其风力发电量超过7％的州中的表现如何状态。

2008 – 2013年电价变动

“在上个月的寒潮期间，我们看到很高的风能输出在保护全国范围内的消费者免受能源价格飞涨的影响方面发挥了关键作用。这项研究证实了风能正在每天为人们带来好处。”美国风能协会高级电力行业分析师迈克尔·戈金（Michael Goggin）说。

该报告的重点包括：

风能通过取代更昂贵，污染更大的能源来保护消费者的方式。根据能源部的数据，风能成本在过去四年中如何下降了43％。该部分与独立电网的15项研究相关运营商，州政府，学术专家和其他人士证实，风能降低了消费者的能源成本。数十家美国公用事业公司锁定了创纪录的低风价，这将保护其消费者数十年不受燃油价格波动的影响。

正如Goggin先生所解释的那样：“随着过去几年成本的急剧下降，如今风能为消费者提供了很多好处。随着时间的推移，这笔交易只会变得更好，因为在风力发电项目的整个生命周期中，低价都被锁定，因为燃料永远是免费的。没有其他主要能源可以提供这种价格稳定性。零燃料成本，零排放风能使我们的能源结构多样化，对消费者和环境都是双赢。”
