-- 英國政府週二公佈了一系列旨在降低全球天然氣價格波動對國內電力成本影響的措施,因為地緣政治緊張局勢持續擾亂能源市場。 該計畫的核心是擴大再生能源和低碳發電企業的長期固定價格合同,同時將發電企業稅從45%提高到55%,以遏制天然氣價格飆升期間企業獲得的超額利潤。 官員表示,此舉旨在保護家庭和企業免受外部衝擊的影響,例如目前伊朗持續不斷的軍事衝突,這些衝突導致全球天然氣市場出現劇烈波動。 政府表示,目前天然氣價格約佔電力價格的60%,低於2020年代初期的約90%,預計2030年這一比例將降至約50%。 該策略的關鍵組成部分包括自願性批發差價合約(CFD),政府表示將於今年稍後推出,分配流程將於2027年啟動。 該政策方案還包括更廣泛的加速再生能源部署的舉措,包括加速規劃審批、擴大公共土地用於太陽能和風能項目以及投資電網基礎設施。 英國首相基爾·斯塔默強調,“必須擺脫對化石燃料的依賴”,才能穩定能源賬單,保護英國各地家庭免受全球價格波動的影響。他表示:“當全球天然氣價格飆升時,英國民眾不應該為此買單。”
