2022年11月9日报道，9个新国家日前加入了全球海上风电联盟(GOWA)，承诺加大海上风电部署力度，以应对气候和能源安全危机。

加入GOWA的9个新国家分别是比利时、哥伦比亚、德国、爱尔兰、日本、荷兰、挪威、英国和美国。

这个联盟由国际可再生能源署(IRENA)、丹麦和全球风能理事会发起，并承诺将各国政府、私营部门、国际组织和其他利益攸关方聚集在一起，以加快海上风电的部署。

加入GOWA的新国家同意共同努力，推动国家、地区和全球的雄心，并消除在新市场和现有市场部署海上风电的障碍。

GOWA说：“海上风电可以在短时间内大规模部署，而且成本具有竞争力——这是一条快速可行的途径，可以缩小可再生能源目标与当前执行速度之间日益扩大的差距。”

GOWA表示， IRENA和国际能源署(IEA)均预计，到2050年，全球海上风力发电能力需要超过2000吉瓦，才能将全球气温上升限制在1.5摄氏度以内，而全球海上风力发电能力现在只有60吉瓦多一点。

GOWA表示：“为了实现这一目标，GOWA将致力于加速增长，到2030年底前达到至少380吉瓦的海上风电装机容量。”

Nine Countries Join Global Offshore Wind Alliance

Nine new countries have joined the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA), pledging to ramp up offshore wind deployment in order to tackle the climate and energy security crises.

The new members include Belgium, Colombia, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, the UK, and the US.

The alliance has been initiated by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Denmark and the Global Wind Energy Council and promises to bring together governments, the private sector, international organisations and other stakeholders to accelerate the deployment of offshore wind power.

The countries joining GOWA have agreed to work together to drive national, regional, and global ambitions and remove barriers to the deployment of offshore wind in new and existing markets.

"Offshore wind can be deployed at large scale, in short timeframes and at competitive cost – it is a fast and viable route to closing the growing gap between renewable energy targets and current rates of implementation," GOWA said.

GOWA has said that both the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) expect that offshore wind capacity will need to exceed 2000GW in 2050, from just over 60GW today, in order to limit global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees and achieve net zero.

"To reach this target, GOWA will aim to contribute to accelerating growth to reach a total of at least 380GW installed capacity by the end of 2030," GOWA said.
