So right now, nearly one billion people globally don't have access to electricity in their homes. And in sub-Saharan Africa, more than half of the population remain in the dark.
如今全球有近 10 億人 家中缺乏電力供應(yīng)。 而在撒哈拉以南非洲, 超過半數(shù)的人口仍生活在黑暗之中。
00:25
So you probably all know this image from NASA. There's a name for this darkness. It's called "energy poverty," and it has massive implications for economic development and social well-being. One unique aspect of the energy poverty problem in sub-Saharan Africa -- and by the way, in this talk when I "energy," I mean "electricity" -- one thing that's unique about it is there isn't much legacy infrastructure already in place in many countries of the region. So, for example, according to 2015 data, the total installed electricity capacity in sub-Saharan Africa is only about 100 gigawatts. That's similar to that of the UK.
你們或許都見過 NASA 的這張照片。 這片黑暗有一個(gè)名字, 叫做“能源貧困”, 它對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展與社會(huì)福祉 有深遠(yuǎn)的影響。 撒哈拉以南非洲的能源貧困問題 有一點(diǎn)十分獨(dú)特—— 另外說明一下,在本次演講中 我所說的“能源”指的是“電力”—— 關(guān)于能源貧困問題的 一個(gè)獨(dú)特方面是, 這個(gè)地區(qū)的很多國(guó)家 缺少已經(jīng)建好 的遺留基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。 舉個(gè)例子,根據(jù) 2015 年的數(shù)據(jù), 撒哈拉以南非洲的總裝機(jī)容量 只有約 100 吉瓦(GW), 與英國(guó)的總裝機(jī)容量差不多。
01:02
So this actually presents a unique opportunity to build an energy system in the 21st century almost from scratch. The question is: How do you do that? We could look back to the past and replicate the ways in which we've managed to bring stable, affordable electricity to a big part of the world's population. But we all know that that has some well-known terrible side effects, such as pollution and climate change, in addition to being costly and inefficient. With Africa's population set to quadruple by the end of the century, this is not a theoretical question. Africa needs a lot of energy, and it needs it fast, because its population is booming and its economy needs to develop.
這其實(shí)提供了一個(gè)獨(dú)特的機(jī)會(huì), 讓我們能夠在21世紀(jì) 幾乎從零開始 構(gòu)建一個(gè)能源系統(tǒng)。 問題在于:怎樣才能達(dá)成這個(gè)目標(biāo)呢? 我們可以回首過去, 效仿以前的做法, 這些辦法曾經(jīng)將穩(wěn)定、廉價(jià)的電力 帶給世界上大多數(shù)人口。 但我們都知道,過去的做法 有一些眾所周知的可怕的副作用, 比如環(huán)境污染和氣候變化, 以及高昂的成本與低下的效率。 隨著非洲的人口預(yù)計(jì) 在本世紀(jì)末增加四倍, 我們面對(duì)的并非 只是理論上的問題。 非洲需要大量能源, 這個(gè)需求迫在眉睫, 因?yàn)榉侵薜娜丝谡诩ぴ觯?非洲的經(jīng)濟(jì)需要發(fā)展。
01:44
So for most countries, the general trajectory of electrification has been as follows. First, large-scale grid infrastructure is put in place, usually with significant public investment. That infrastructure then powers productive centers, such as factories, agricultural mechanization, commercial enterprises and the like. And this then stimulates economic growth, creating jobs, raising incomes and producing a virtuous cycle that helps more people afford more appliances, which then creates residential demand for electricity.
對(duì)大部分國(guó)家來說, 電氣化的一般軌跡 是這樣的: 首先,鋪設(shè)好大型電網(wǎng)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施, 這一般需要大量公共投資。 那些基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施隨后 為生產(chǎn)中心供能, 比如工廠、機(jī)械化農(nóng)業(yè)、 商業(yè)企業(yè)等等。 這得以刺激經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng), 創(chuàng)造就業(yè),提高收入, 建立起一個(gè)能 幫助更多人 購(gòu)置電器的良性循環(huán), 從而創(chuàng)造居民對(duì)電力的需求。
02:15
But in sub-Saharan Africa, despite decades of energy projects, we haven't really seen these benefits. The energy projects have often been characterized by waste, corruption and inefficiency; our rural electrification rates are really low, and our urban rates could be better; the reliability of our electricity is terrible; and we have some of the highest electricity prices in the whole world. And on top of all of this, we are now facing the impacts of the growing climate catastrophe head-on. So Africa will need to find a different path.
但在撒哈拉以南非洲, 盡管能源項(xiàng)目開展了數(shù)十年, 我們并沒有觀察到這些效益。 這些能源項(xiàng)目常常意味著污染、 腐敗、效率低下; 我們的農(nóng)村電氣化普及率非常低, 城市的電氣化普及率 也有提升的空間; 我們的電力可靠性很糟糕; 我們的電費(fèi)高居全世界的榜首。 在此之上, 我們?nèi)缃裾谥泵嫒諠u嚴(yán)重 的氣候?yàn)?zāi)難帶來的影響。 非洲需要尋求一條不同的道路。
02:49
And, as it turns out, we are now witnessing some pretty exciting disruption in the African energy space. This new path is called off-grid solar, and it's enabled by cheap solar panels, advances in LED and battery technology, and combined with innovative business models. So these off-grid solar products typically range from a single light to home system kits that can charge phones, power a television or run a fan.
而事實(shí)證明,我們現(xiàn)在正在見證 非洲能源市場(chǎng)中 一些激動(dòng)人心的變革。 這條嶄新的道路叫做“離網(wǎng)太陽(yáng)能”, 它的誕生結(jié)合了廉價(jià)太陽(yáng)能板, LED 和電池科技的發(fā)展, 以及創(chuàng)新性的商業(yè)模型。 這些離網(wǎng)太陽(yáng)能產(chǎn)品多種多樣, 從簡(jiǎn)單的一盞燈, 到能夠給手機(jī)充電、 給電視供能、 讓電扇運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的居家系統(tǒng)組件。
03:15
I want to be clear: off-grid solar is a big deal in Africa. I have worked in the sector for years, and these products are enabling us to extend basic energy services to some of the world's poorest, raising their quality of life. This is a very good and a very important thing. However, off-grid solar will not solve energy poverty in Africa, and for that matter, neither will a top-down effort to connect every unserved household to the grid. See, I'm not here to rehash that played-out "on-versus-off-grid" or "old-versus-new" debate. Instead, I believe that our inability to grapple with and truly address energy poverty in Africa stems from three main sources.
我想強(qiáng)調(diào)的是: 離網(wǎng)太陽(yáng)能在非洲非常重要。 我在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域工作多年, 而這些產(chǎn)品能讓我們 把基本的能源服務(wù) 送到世界上最為貧窮的人們手中, 提升了他們的生活質(zhì)量。 這是件很好、很重要的事情。 但是,離網(wǎng)太陽(yáng)能并不能解決 非洲能源貧困的問題。 就這一點(diǎn)來說, 自上而下、將每一個(gè)未通電的家庭 連接到電網(wǎng)上的嘗試, 也不能解決這個(gè)問題。 我并不想老調(diào)重談地 再議關(guān)于“入網(wǎng)還是離網(wǎng)” 或者“老技術(shù)還是新技術(shù)”的爭(zhēng)論。 反之, 我相信,我們之所以 無法掌控并真正解決 非洲的資源貧困問題, 其主要原因有三點(diǎn)。
03:56
First, we don't really have a clear understanding of what energy poverty is, or how deep it goes.
第一,我們對(duì)能源貧困是什么, 以及其扎根之深度 并沒有一個(gè)清楚的認(rèn)知。
04:03
Second, we are avoiding complex systemic issues and prefer quick fixes.
第二,我們?cè)谔颖?復(fù)雜的體系上的問題, 而傾向于快速的權(quán)宜之計(jì)。
04:07
And third, we are misdirecting concerns about climate change. Combined, these three mistakes are leading us to impose a Western debate on the future of energy and falling back on paternalistic attitudes towards Africa.
第三,我們?cè)谡`導(dǎo) 對(duì)于氣候變化的關(guān)注。 這三個(gè)錯(cuò)誤相結(jié)合, 導(dǎo)致我們對(duì)能源的未來 施加了西式的辯論, 重蹈了對(duì)非洲家長(zhǎng)式態(tài)度的覆轍。
04:20
So let me try and unpack these three questions. First, what exactly is energy poverty? The main energy poverty targeted indicator is enshrined in the UN's Seventh Sustainable Development Goal, or SDG 7. It calls for 100 percent of the world's population to have access to electricity by the year 2030. This binary threshold, however, ignores the quality, reliability or utility of the power, though indicators are currently being developed that will try and capture these things.
那么,請(qǐng)讓我試圖理清這三個(gè)問題。 首先,能源貧困到底是什么? 能源貧困的主要針對(duì)性指標(biāo) 記載于聯(lián)合國(guó)的第七個(gè) 可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標(biāo), 即 SDG 7 之中。 這個(gè)目標(biāo)呼吁,到 2030 年, 確保世界上所有人 都能獲得電力。 然而,這個(gè)二元化的門檻 忽略了能源的質(zhì)量、 可靠性和效用, 不過目前我們正在研發(fā)能夠 嘗試捕捉這些要點(diǎn)的指標(biāo)。
04:47
However, the question of when a household is considered "connected" is not quite clear-cut. So, for example, last year the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared all of the villages in India electrified, the criteria for electrification being a transformer in every village plus its public centers and 10 percent -- 10 percent -- of its households connected. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency, which tracks progress against SDG 7, defines energy access as 50 kilowatt hours per person per year. That's enough to power some light bulbs and charge a phone, perhaps run a low-watt TV or fan for a few hours a day. Now, providing entry-level access is an important first step, but let's not romanticize the situation. By any standard, a few lights and not much else is still living in energy poverty. And what's more, these energy poverty indicators and targets cover only residential use. And yet, households account for just about one quarter of the world's electricity consumption. That's because most of our power is used in industries and for commerce.
但是,一家住戶何時(shí)能被視作“通電” 的評(píng)判標(biāo)準(zhǔn)并不明確。 舉個(gè)例子,印度總理納倫德拉·莫迪 在去年宣布,印度境內(nèi) 全部村莊都通了電, 而電氣化的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是 每個(gè)村莊配備一座變電站, 加上它的公共中心, 和百分之十——沒錯(cuò), 百分之十——的居民能夠通電。 與此同時(shí), 負(fù)責(zé)跟蹤 SDG 7 進(jìn)度的國(guó)際能源署 將能源獲取的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)定義為 每人每年 50 度電。 50 度電足夠點(diǎn)亮幾盞燈泡, 給一臺(tái)手機(jī)充電, 大概每天也能讓 低功耗電視或者風(fēng)扇運(yùn)行幾個(gè)小時(shí)。 提供入門級(jí)別的電力獲取 是重要的第一步, 但是我們還是不要 過于美化這種狀況。 無論以何種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來看, 如果只能點(diǎn)亮幾盞燈, 仍然相當(dāng)于生活在能源貧困之中。 更有甚者, 這些能源貧困的指標(biāo)與目標(biāo) 涵蓋的僅僅是居民用電。 然而,居家用電僅占世界耗電總量 的四分之一。 這是因?yàn)槲覀兇蟛糠值碾娏?都用在工業(yè)與商貿(mào)上。
05:57
Which brings me to my main point: countries cannot grow out of poverty without access to abundant, affordable and reliable electricity to power these productive centers, or what I call "Energy for Growth." As you can see from this graph, there's simply no such thing as a low-energy, high-income country. It doesn't exist. And yet, three billion people in the world currently live in countries without reliable, affordable electricity -- not just to power their homes but also their factories, their office buildings, their data centers and other economic activities. Merely electrifying households and microenterprises cannot solve this deeper energy poverty. To solve energy poverty, we need to deliver reliable, affordable electricity at scale, to power economy-wide job creation and income growth.
這也引出了我的主要論點(diǎn): 國(guó)家想要脫離貧困, 不能沒有能驅(qū)動(dòng)各個(gè)生產(chǎn)中心 的豐富的、廉價(jià)的、可靠的電力, 我將其稱為“發(fā)展用能源”。 從這幅圖表可以看出, 根本沒有所謂的 低能耗、高收入國(guó)家。 這種國(guó)家并不存在。 然而,世界上有 30 億人口 目前居住的國(guó)家缺乏 可靠的、廉價(jià)的電力—— 他們不僅無法為家里供電, 也無法為工廠, 辦公樓,數(shù)據(jù)中心, 以及其他經(jīng)濟(jì)活動(dòng) 提供電力支持。 僅僅為家庭和 微型企業(yè)供電根本無法解決 這個(gè)更深層的能源貧困問題。 為了解決能源貧困問題, 我們需要大規(guī)模地輸送 可靠的、廉價(jià)的電力, 從而為整個(gè)社會(huì)工作崗位的創(chuàng)造 與收入增長(zhǎng)提供動(dòng)力。
06:47
This need, however, bumps against an emerging narrative that, faced with climate change, we all need to transition from large, centralized power systems to small-scale distributed power. The growth of off-grid solar in Africa -- and let me repeat, off-grid solar is a good thing -- but that growth fits nicely into this narrative and has led to those claims that Africa is leapfrogging the old ways of energy and building its power system from the ground up, one solar panel at a time.
但是,這個(gè)需求卻和 一個(gè)漸漸浮現(xiàn)的觀點(diǎn)產(chǎn)生了矛盾。 這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)聲稱, 面對(duì)當(dāng)今的氣候變化, 我們都需要實(shí)現(xiàn) 從大型、集中式能源系統(tǒng) 到小型、分散式能源的轉(zhuǎn)型。 非洲的離網(wǎng)太陽(yáng)能正在發(fā)展—— 我重申一次, 離網(wǎng)太陽(yáng)能是好東西—— 但是這種發(fā)展很好地 契合了這一觀點(diǎn), 從而導(dǎo)致有人聲稱,非洲正在繞過 傳統(tǒng)能源范式進(jìn)行跨越式發(fā)展, 從零開始、一塊一塊太陽(yáng)能板地 打造自己的能源系統(tǒng)。
07:16
It's a nice, solicitous narrative, but also quite naïve. Like many narratives of technological disruption, often inspired by Silicon Valley, it takes for granted the existing systems that underpin all of this transformation. You see, when it comes to innovating and energy, the West is working around the edges of a system that is tried and tested. And so all the sexy stuff -- the rooftop solar, the smart household devices, the electric vehicles -- all of this is built on top of a massive and absolutely essential grid, which itself exists within a proven governance framework. Even the most advanced countries in the world don't have an example of an energy system that is all edges and no center at scale.
這是一個(gè)好聽的、誘人的說法, 但同時(shí)也很天真。 這個(gè)說法和很多 關(guān)于受硅谷啟發(fā)所誕生 的顛覆性科技的敘述一樣, 這種說法同樣認(rèn)為,作為這些轉(zhuǎn)型的基礎(chǔ), 這些現(xiàn)有系統(tǒng)的存在是理所當(dāng)然的。 當(dāng)談到創(chuàng)新與能源時(shí), 西方正在研究一個(gè)嘗試過 和測(cè)試過的體系的邊緣。 所有那些吸引眼球的東西—— 屋頂太陽(yáng)能電池, 智能居家設(shè)備,電動(dòng)汽車—— 這些都建立在一張龐大的、 至關(guān)重要的電網(wǎng)之上, 這張電網(wǎng)本身也置身于一個(gè) 經(jīng)過證明的管理框架之中。 即使是世界上最先進(jìn)的國(guó)家, 也沒有一個(gè)只有邊緣、沒有中心的 大型能源系統(tǒng)的案例。
08:03
So ultimately, no approach -- be it centralized or distributed, renewable or fossil-based -- can succeed in solving energy poverty without finding a way to deliver reliable, affordable electricity to Africa's emerging industrial and commercial sectors. So, it's not just lights in every rural home. It's power for Africa's cities that are growing fast and increasingly full of young, capable people in desperate need of a job. This in turn will require significant interconnectivity and economies of scale, making a robust and modern grid a crucial piece of any energy poverty solution.
歸根結(jié)底, 不管是集中式還是分散式系統(tǒng)、 可再生還是化石能源, 如果找不到方法將 可靠、廉價(jià)的電力 輸送到非洲萌芽的工業(yè)與商業(yè)領(lǐng)域, 非洲的能源貧困依然無解。 所以,我們并不只是要 點(diǎn)亮每一戶農(nóng)村家庭。 我們要為非洲 快速發(fā)展的城市提供能源, 這些城市愈發(fā)充斥著 年輕有為的人們, 他們迫切需要工作。 這進(jìn)而又需要強(qiáng)大的互聯(lián) 以及規(guī)模經(jīng)濟(jì), 使得穩(wěn)定而現(xiàn)代化的電網(wǎng) 成為任何能源貧困解決方案 不可或缺的一部分。
08:43
So, our second mistake is falling for the allure of the quick fix. You see, energy poverty exists within a complex socioeconomic and political context. And part of the appeal of new electrification models such as off-grid solar, for example, is they can often bypass the glacial pace and inefficiency of government. See, with small systems you can skip the bureaucracies and the utilities and sell directly to customers. But to confront energy poverty, you cannot ignore governments, you cannot ignore institutions, you cannot ignore the many players involved in making, moving and using electricity at scale, which is a way to say that when it comes to providing energy for growth, it's not just about innovating the technology, it's about the slow and hard work of improving governance, institutions and the broader macroenvironment.
我們的第二個(gè)錯(cuò)誤是, 盲目相信快速解決方案。 能源貧困是存在于 一個(gè)復(fù)雜的社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì) 與政治背景下的。 諸如離網(wǎng)太陽(yáng)能之類的 新型電氣化模型的 一部分吸引力在于, 它們大多能繞過 政府的滯緩節(jié)奏與低下效能。 要是使用小型系統(tǒng), 你就能跳過官僚機(jī)構(gòu)與程序, 直接與顧客進(jìn)行交易。 但是要想攻克能源貧困, 你不能忽略政府, 你不能忽略制度, 你不能忽略大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)、 傳輸和使用電力時(shí) 涉及到的多方參與者。 換句話說, 當(dāng)我們要為發(fā)展供能時(shí), 我們不僅僅要考慮科技上的革新, 還要面對(duì)改善治理、制度 與更廣闊的宏觀環(huán)境時(shí) 所要付出的漫長(zhǎng)與艱苦的努力。
09:37
OK, so this is all good and nice, you say. But what about climate change? How do we ensure a high-energy future for everyone while also curbing our emissions? Well, we'll have to make some complex tradeoffs, but I believe that a high-energy future for Africa is not mutually exclusive to a low-carbon future. And make no mistake: the world cannot expect Africa to remain in energy poverty because of climate change.
你可能會(huì)說, 這一切聽上去都很棒。 但關(guān)于氣候變化又該怎么辦? 我們?nèi)绾未_保在未來, 每個(gè)人都享有充足能源 的同時(shí)減少排放? 我們必須要做出一些復(fù)雜的妥協(xié), 但我相信,對(duì)非洲來說 一個(gè)能源充足的未來 和一個(gè)低碳的未來并不矛盾。 毫無疑問: 世界不能指望非洲 因?yàn)闅夂蜃兓?就一直陷于能源貧困之中。
10:04
(Applause)
(掌聲)
10:11
Actually, the facts show that the opposite is true. Energy will be essential for Africa to adapt to climate change and build resilience. You see, rising temperatures will mean increased demand for space cooling and cold storage. Declining water tables will mean increased pumped irrigation. And extreme weather and rising sea levels will require a significant expansion and reinforcement of our infrastructure. These are all energy-intensive activities. So balancing climate change and Africa's pressing need to transition to a high-energy future will be tough. But doing so is nonnegotiable; we will have to find a way. The first step is broadening the terms of the debate away from this either-or framing. And we also must stop romanticizing solutions that distract us from the core challenges.
實(shí)際上,事實(shí)表明, 情況恰好相反。 能源對(duì)于非洲適應(yīng)環(huán)境變化、 提高抵御能力 有至關(guān)重要的作用。 氣溫升高意味著 對(duì)于制冷和冷藏 的需求增加。 地下水減少意味著 抽水灌溉增加。 極端的天氣與上升的海平面 將要求我們大幅擴(kuò)建 以及加固我們的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。 這些都是高能耗的作業(yè)。 因此,在氣候變化 和非洲向能源充足的未來 轉(zhuǎn)化的迫切需求之間尋找平衡, 將會(huì)十分艱巨。 但是否要這樣做也是不容磋商的; 我們必須找到辦法。 第一步是拓寬辯論的視角, 從這種非此即彼 的局限中解放出來。 另外,一些解決方案會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)移 我們對(duì)核心挑戰(zhàn)的注意力, 我們也必須停止 對(duì)這些方案的美化。
11:01
And let's not also forget that Africa is endowed with vast natural resources, including significant renewable potential. For example, in Kenya, where I'm from, geothermal power accounts for half of our electricity generation, and with hydro being the other major source, we are already mainly powered by renewable energy. We also just brought online Africa's largest wind farm and East Africa's biggest solar facility.
我們也不能忘記, 非洲擁有得天獨(dú)厚的豐富自然資源, 其中包含了可觀的可再生潛能。 比如說,在我的祖國(guó)肯尼亞, 有一半的電能來源于地?zé)崮埽?而水能則是另一個(gè)主要電力來源, 所以我們的主要電力來源 已經(jīng)是可再生能源了。 我們也剛剛開始運(yùn)行 非洲最大的風(fēng)力發(fā)電廠, 以及東非最大的太陽(yáng)能發(fā)電設(shè)施。
11:26
(Applause)
(掌聲)
11:30
In addition, new technology means that we can now run and design our power systems and use energy more efficiently than ever, doing more with less. Energy efficiency will be an important tool in the fight against climate change.
此外, 新的技術(shù)也意味著 我們現(xiàn)在可以以更高的效率 運(yùn)行和設(shè)計(jì)我們的能源系統(tǒng) 以及使用我們的能源, 達(dá)到事半功倍的效果。 能源效率將會(huì)是 我們與氣候變化 作斗爭(zhēng)的重要工具。
11:46
So in closing, I'd just like to say that Africa is a real place with real people, navigating complex challenges and major transitions, just like any other region of the world.
那么在最后,我想說的是, 非洲是一個(gè)真實(shí)的地方,有真實(shí)的人民, 她正在應(yīng)對(duì)復(fù)雜的挑戰(zhàn)和重大的轉(zhuǎn)變, 正如世界任何其他地方一樣。
11:56
(Applause)
(掌聲)
12:02
And while each country and each region has its social, economic and political quirks, the physics of electricity are the same everywhere.
雖然每個(gè)國(guó)家、每個(gè)地區(qū) 都有其獨(dú)有的社會(huì)、經(jīng)濟(jì) 與政治特色, 電力的物理原理 在任何地方都是不變的。
12:10
(Laughter) (Applause)
(笑聲)(掌聲)
12:14
And the energy needs of our economies are just as intensive as those of any other economy.
而我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展對(duì)能源的需求 和任何其它經(jīng)濟(jì)體一樣強(qiáng)烈。
12:21
So, the expansion of household electrification through a mix of on- and off-grid solutions has had an incredible impact in Africa. But they are nowhere near sufficient for solving energy poverty. To solve energy poverty, we need generation of electricity from diverse sources at scale and modern grids to power a high-energy future, in which Africans can enjoy modern living standards and well-paying jobs. Africans deserve this, and with one of every four people in the world projected to be African by the year 2100, the planet needs it.
家庭電氣化的普及 通過網(wǎng)內(nèi)外解決方案的組合 對(duì)非洲起到了難以置信的影響。 但它們還遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不足以 解決能源貧困的難題。 要想克服能源貧困, 我們需要大規(guī)模、多樣化的發(fā)電來源 和現(xiàn)代化的電網(wǎng), 為能量充足的未來提供動(dòng)力, 讓非洲人享受現(xiàn)代生活水平 和高薪工作。 非洲值得擁有這些; 而到了 2100 年時(shí), 世界上每四個(gè)人中 將有一人來自非洲, 屆時(shí),我們的星球也需要它。
12:54
Thank you.
謝謝。
