Electricity supply is increasingly outpacing demand in Europe as renewable energy capacity grows, making negative prices a more frequent occurrence. In early 2020, Spain’s installed solar power capacity totaled nearly 9 gigawatts, according to data from Red Eléctrica. In early 2025, it had soared to 32 GW, helped by subsidies. With solar panels and wind turbines installed in more places—while energy storage capacity is still lagging—an especially sunny and windy day can generate more electricity than is ...

中国青年报客户端北京12月31日电（中青报·中青网记者 王梓） 美国《科学》杂志近日公布了2025年度十大科学突破，其中，全球可再生能源的普及被评为"年度突 破"。《科学》杂志认为，2025年，全球可再生能源在多个领域超过传统能源，这一重大转型主要由中 国引领。 停电难题困扰南非多年，但如今，这个发展中国家已找到良方。得益于物美价廉的中国太阳能板和电 池，太阳能与储能系统已广泛应用于南非的各行各业。从购物中心、汽车制造工厂、酒庄、金矿，到过 去仅能点亮灯泡的乡村社区，绿色能源深刻重塑了南非的贸易与工业发展格局，显著改善了当地民众的 生活品质。 南非民众不再完全依赖大型燃煤电厂，这使当地的电力公司开始重新思考其运营模式。南非"非洲可持 续能源"机构的项目经理乔尔·那纳称之为突破世代积弊的"自下而上的变革"。"旧体系意味着电力供应 不可靠、电价高昂。我们曾长期深陷这种困境。"他说。 如今，与南非相似的转型浪潮正在向整个非洲大陆蔓延。全球能源智库"余烬"组织的一份报告显示，截 至2025年6月的12个月内，非洲国家自中国进口的太阳能电池板增加了60%，创历史新高；这或将改变 众多国家的能源格局。 《纽约时报》称，这 ...
