电网扩建引爆新“铜荒” 2030年铜价剑指1.2万美元?
智通财经网· 2025-08-01 01:43
随着全球范围内数千亿美元资金投入电网现代化改造与扩建工程,以满足数字化与清洁能源革命带来的 巨大电力需求,铜消费增速已远超行业预期。然而,智利、刚果(金)等主要产铜国因新矿投资不足导致 供应受限,这为铜价长期高位运行埋下伏笔。部分分析师预测,2030年前铜价将突破每吨1.2万美元的 历史峰值,较当前约9700美元/吨的价格上涨23%。 尽管终端用户正寻求替代方案,但铜因其卓越的导电性、耐用性和多功能性仍难以被取代。国际能源署 数据显示,全球电网投资额继2024年创下3900亿美元纪录后,今年预计将突破4000亿美元大关。 CRU线缆研究分析师Egest Balla表示:"电网基建已成为系统性瓶颈,其影响不仅涉及数据中心,更波 及陆海风电、光伏及电动汽车全产业链。" 相较传统燃油车,电动汽车的用铜量呈倍数增长,BMI预测其需求将从2020年的20.4万吨,增至2025年 的120万吨,并在2030年跃升至220万吨。 全球最大铜采购商Prysmian(PRYMY.US)投资者关系总监Maria Cristina Bifulco表示:"我们正经历从周期 性需求向结构性需求的根本转变。"据悉,该企业年采购量占全球精 ...
