可再生电力成本的下降,对电力生产企业构成了威胁。让这些企业大赚特赚的,是一天当中电力需求大、电价也随之升高的时段。而太阳能就算规模不大,也有可能给市场带来极大的冲击,把用电高峰期的趸售电价拉下来。
Though growing rapidly, solar power still accounts for less than 1 percent of American power generation, so the disruption has not yet been seen on a large scale in the United States. But some utilities, fearful of losing out as the power mix changes, have started attacking rules that encourage solar panels. Others are taking the opposite tack, jumping into the solar market themselves.
尽管光电产业发展得很快,但光电产量在美国电力总产量中所占的比重还不到1%,因此美国市场尚未受到大规模的冲击。不过,有的公用事业公司担心自己因电源结构的变化而遭受损失,已经开始攻击那些鼓励使用太阳能面板的规则了。另外一些公司则采取了相反的策略,干脆投身到了光电市场之中。
Nipping at the heels of those utilities are fast-growing start-up companies that are putting tens of thousands of panels on rooftops and leasing them to homeowners for no money down, with Wall Street banks providing the financing. The hot spot is California, which is aiming for 33 percent renewable power by 2020 and seems increasingly likely to get there.
紧随这些公用事业公司之后的,是高速成长的初创公司,它们正把数以万计的太阳能板安在人们的屋顶上,并和屋主签下无需付押金的租约,为其提供资金支持的是华尔街的银行机构。加利福尼亚州被卷入了这股热潮之中,该州计划在2020年之前把可再生能源电力上网比重提高到33%,现在看来,实现这一目标的可能性正逐步加大。
