美国电力需求预计到2030年将增长20%,天然气可能将成为首选

全美电视5月5日报道,富国银行(Wells Fargo)今年4月发布的一份分析报告显示,在经历了10年的电力增长平缓之后,到2030年,美国的电力需求预计将增长20%。 据富国银行(Wells Fargo)称,到2030年,仅人工智能数据中心就有望在美国增加约323太瓦时的电力需求,人工智能预测的电力需求就比纽约市目前每年48太瓦时的用电量高出7倍。据跨国投资银行与金融服务公司高盛(Goldman Sachs)预计,到2030年,数据中心用电量将占美国总用电量的8%。 据富国银行称,到2030年,天然气需求每天可能增加100亿立方英尺。这将比目前美国发电消耗的每天350亿立方英尺增加28%,比全国每天总天然气消耗的1000亿立方英尺增加10%。 该份富国银行分析报告作者之一、股票分析师罗杰·里德(Roger Read)表示:“这就是人们越来越看好天然气的原因,对于一种大宗商品来说,这是相当高的增长率。” 随着人工智能的兴起,国内半导体和电池制造业的扩张,以及汽车的电气化,电力公司正在迅速确保能源。此外,人工智能推动了用电量的激增,仅靠可再生能源可能难以满足需求,天然气生产商也正计划在未来10年实现需求大幅飙升。 电力需求的激增,给科技巨头亚马逊带来了挑战,该公司已经承诺用可再生能源为其数据中心供电,以减少碳排放。 但根据咨询公司雷斯塔能源(Rystad Energy)今年4月份的一份报告称,仅靠太阳能和风能可能不足以满足电力负荷,因为它们依赖于多变的天气。根据雷斯塔能源公司的说法,激增的电力负荷将需要一种能源来填补缺口,并在可再生能源发电不足的情况下满足激增的需求。天然气行业认为天然气将成为首选。
