安永 可再生能源发展指数报告英文版

Overview of indices: Issue 27
The Ernst & Young country attractiveness indices provide scores for national renewable energy markets, renewable energy infrastructures and their suitability for individual technologies. The indices provide scores out of 100 and are updated on a regular basis.
South Korea leads the new entrants to secure 18th position, on the back of its ambitious targets, strong incentives, and robust supply chain. Romania and Egypt both achieved a ranking of 22 as a result of their fast-growing wind markets, while Mexico completes the new line up, ranking 25th, benefiting from challenging targets and strong wind and solar resources. As a result, the Czech Republic has fallen outside the top 30 countries, mostly due to various plans by Parliament to remove or significantly reduce solar subsidies.
Ernst & Young was ranked the leading project finance advisor in the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa between 2001 and 2009 by Project Finance International
A new addition to this issue is a page dedicated to the Solar indices, with commentary on key movements in the photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) markets. This will be a regular feature, and is supplemented in this issue with a technology focus article on solar CSP, discussing the key markets, the four major technologies, regulatory drivers and recent news.
The lead article discusses progress post the credit crunch, highlighting the differing pace of recovery between Western and BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) nations, and analyzing the effect of commodity and carbon prices. It also looks forward to Cancun and the issues critical to shaping the future low carbon economy, and the need to ensure any agreements reached (however limited) do not ignore the developing world poor.

The country attractiveness indices take a generic view, and different sponsor/financier requirements will clearly affect how countries are rated. Ernst & Young’s Renewable Energy Group can provide detailed studies to meet specific corporate objectives. It is important that readers refer to the guidance notes set out on pages 27-28 when referring to the indices.
The US, which topped the indices between November 2006 and May 2010, is now five points behind the ascendant China. The continued repercussions of the financial crisis, low gas prices and the uncertain medium-to-long term policy environment have prompted a one point fall this quarter, while China rose two points.

Global highlights
A new world order is emerging in the clean energy sector with China now the clear leader in the global renewables market, according to this issue of Ernst & Young’s country attractiveness indices. The new order also includes four significant new entrants in the rankings: South Korea, Romania, Egypt, and Mexico.
Elsewhere in the global economy, India gained a point following the completion of regulations for the trading of renewable energy certificates (RECs) by seven Indian states, with another nine having now prepared drafts. The UK has also climbed a point following its Government’s public Spending Review and the publication of a National Infrastructure Plan — both of which signalled strong support for renewables and specific investment in offshore wind. Japan jumped three points due to its solar market expected to increase to four times the 2009 level by 2020.
Long-term indices
The long-term indices are forward looking and take a long-term view, hence the UK’s high ranking in the wind index, explained by the large amount of unexploited wind resource, strong offshore regime and attractive tariffs available under the Renewables Obligation (RO) mechanism. Conversely, although Denmark has the highest proportiono population level, it scores relatively low because of its restricted grid capacity and reduced tariff incentives.
