The facility is part of GE?s strategy to further improve customer response times throughout North America as more wind power and solar energy projects are developed and existing power facilities require maintenance.

Gamesa, a world leader in the design of wind turbines, announced that enXco has executed a purchase agreement to acquire the Chestnut Flats Wind Power Farm in Pennsylvania.

Tristan Grimbert, President & CEO of enXco, stated, We are very pleased to bring Chestnut Flats Wind farm into our growing wind power portfolio.

General Electric has signed an agreement with Newcom LLC., one of the leading investment companies in Mongolia, to supply advanced technology wind turbines to power the country’s first wind farm.

The Ouarzazate concentrated solar thermal power plant is the first in Morocco’s $9 billion solar power program, vital for a country that has no oil or gas but has an abundance of sun.

Concentrating solar thermal power plants are indispensable to meet Europe?s energy demands and to reduce greenhouse gases emissions substantially, according to a new study by a European scientific commission.

CSP Today Sevilla is the premier international Concentrated Solar Thermal Power meeting place and in its 5th edition it will give you the ultimate CSP learning & industry networking experience.

The wind energy project was to have had a total investment of US$70 million, but actually it came closer to US$50 million, to produce the energy that will be incorporated in the Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC).

IMPSA, a renewable energy company, will get a $150 million loan from the Inter-American Development Bank to help finance its plans to expand wind power in Latin America.

The World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) celebrates its tenth Anniversary. Ten years ago, in July 2001, delegates from all over the world decided in Copenhagen to create an association that represents the wind power.

Conducted by Pike Research, the latest report claims that wind farm installations by 2017 will represent a ?113 billion global industry, up from ?57 billion in 2011.

Concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) has been a ?start-stop? industry since the 1500s, when Leonardo da Vinci conceived the use of a parabolic mirror concentrator to heat water for dyeing cloths.

Many concentrated solar energy projects this year have elected to change from concentrating solar power, or CSP, which uses heat to create steam that powers a generator, to photovoltaic.

The modules will be used as part of an approximately $600 million investment by Northland to build ground-mounted solar projects in Ontario, representing one of the largest investments in Ontario’s solar energy sector.

GE estimated the cost of the Salkhit Wind Power Plant at $100 million but didn’t put a value on the wind energy turbines.

Although compared to Germany, U.S. and Spain, China still has a long way to go in research and manufacturing of concentrated solar thermal power generation equipment.
