-- 美國能源資訊署(EIA)週四發布的2月份月更新報告顯示,受燃料結構變化和價格波動的影響,2026年2月美國電力產量增加1.2%。 EIA表示,零售電力銷售額成長0.8%,而居民用電價格較去年同期上漲7.4%,達到每度數17.65美分。 報告指出,供暖度日數下降5.2%至689天,顯示整體天氣較為溫和,但區域氣溫波動導致電力需求模式不平衡。 EIA表示,美國總發電量成長1.2%,其中東北部、中大西洋地區、東南部和佛羅裡達州的發電量有所增長,而中部、西部和德克薩斯州的發電量則有所下降。 EIA補充道,東部地區氣溫偏低促進了發電量成長,而西部地區氣溫偏高則導致發電量下降,儘管總發電量仍達到342,801千兆瓦時。 報告指出,燃煤發電量呈現區域分化趨勢,儘管部分東部地區煤炭使用量增加,但煤炭總消費量仍下降了11.3%。 該機構表示,受燃料價格走低的支撐,天然氣發電量在大多數地區有所成長,消費量增加1.5%至9,677.89億立方英尺。 報告稱,儘管亨利樞紐天然氣價格年減7.2%至每百萬英熱單位3.84美元,但燃料份額的變化顯示,部分地區仍在轉向煤炭發電。 該機構表示,儘管天然氣價格走低,但由於管道運輸限制,東北部和中大西洋地區在冬季用電高峰增加了替代燃料的使用。 報告指出,核電發電量成長0.9%至6,240萬兆瓦時,為電力供應總量的成長做出了貢獻。 美國能源資訊署(EIA)表示,煤炭庫存年減1.9%,但季增0.7%至1,0472.1萬噸,以歷史標準衡量仍處於較低水準。 EIA稱,東部煙煤電廠的遠期供應量從130天降至120天,西部次煙煤電廠的遠期供應量從143天降至138天。 EIA補充道,亨利樞紐天然氣價格從1月的每百萬英熱單位(MMBtu)7.55美元大幅下跌至2月份的每百萬英熱單位3.84美元,而紐約天然氣價格則從每百萬英熱單位19.84美元降至每百萬英熱單位6.75美元。 EIA表示,以電力成本計算,天然氣價格從每兆瓦時60.48美元降至每兆瓦時30.77美元,低於煤炭價格(每兆瓦時35.85美元),而紐約天然氣價格仍高於煤炭價格(每兆瓦時54.10美元)。 美國能源資訊署(EIA)表示,受寒冷天氣和需求增加的影響,東部市場的批發電力價格在每兆瓦時24美元至260美元之間波動。 報告稱,西部市場的價格波動範圍較小,因為高於平均的氣溫降低了這些地區的冬季電力需求。 EIA的數據顯示,在2月初的寒流期間,南方電力公司(Southern Company)和佛羅裡達進步電力公司(Progress Florida)的峰值需求波動幅度最大,而加州在氣溫回暖的情況下需求仍然較低。
