据油价网8月12日消息称，《悉尼先驱晨报》援引澳大利亚行业组织清洁能源委员会的数据报道称，2021年第二季度，澳大利亚只有三个新项目达到了财政承诺阶段，这是自2017年初以来季度项目承诺的第二低水平。

　　清洁能源委员会和反对派告诉《悉尼先驱晨报》的Peter Hannam，澳大利亚过去一年里能源政策的不断变化，以及它拒绝像许多工业化国家一样承诺到2050年实现净零排放的目标，是该国太阳能和风能项目面临的部分障碍。

　　清洁能源委员会首席执行官Kane Thornton在接受《悉尼先驱晨报》采访时表示：“由于投资者面临的风险增加，包括电网连接和网络限制，以及持续的不可预测和无益的政府政策干预和市场改革，清洁能源投资已降至多年未见的水平。”

　　本周早些时候，澳大利亚总理Scott Morrison再次拒绝承诺该国到2050年实现净零排放的目标，就像澳大利亚的许多盟友和美国、英国等大型贸易伙伴已经做的那样。

　　Morrison说：“我不会代表澳大利亚在没有计划的目标上签署空白支票。”他补充说，“空头支票承诺总是要付出代价的，而且最终总是要支付更高的税收?！?/p>

　　澳大利亚总理表示，在应对气候变化的努力中，澳大利亚的方法是“技术，而不是税收”。

　　Clean Energy Investment In Australia Drops

　　Australia saw just three new projects reaching the stage of financial commitment in the second quarter of 2021, the second-lowest tally for quarterly project commitments since early 2017, The Sydney Morning Herald reports, citing data from Australia’s industry group Clean Energy Council.

　　The constant changes in Australia’s energy policies over the past year, as well as its resistance to commit to a net-zero by 2050 target like many industrialized nations, are part of the obstacles that solar and wind power projects in the country face, the Clean Energy Council and opposition politicians tell The Sydney Morning Herald’s Peter Hannam.

　　“Investment in clean energy has fallen to levels not seen for several years as a result of the increased risks facing investors, including from grid connection and network constraints as well as the ongoing unpredictable and unhelpful government policy interventions and market reforms,” Kane Thornton, Chief Executive of the Clean Energy Council, told The Sydney Morning Herald.

　　Earlier this week, Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison declined, once again, to commit the country to a target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, like many Australian allies and large trade partners such as the U.S. and the UK have already done.

　　“I won’t be signing a blank cheque on behalf of Australians to targets without plans,” Morrison said, adding, “Blank cheque commitments you always end up paying for, and you always end up paying in higher taxes.”

　　Australia’s approach “is technology, not taxes” in its efforts to fight climate change, the prime minister said.
