The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Plant, the world’s largest concentrating solar power plant being built which uses molten salt, finished an important milestone.

?Major step forward for wind energy industry? confirming future ambitions. Walney Offshore wind power has capacity to power 320,000 homes. Thousands of jobs to come in UK factories making offshore wind turbines.

SolarReserve, a U.S. developer of large-scale concentrated solar thermal power projects, announced completion of the 540-foot solar power tower for its 110 megawatt (MW) Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Plant.

Walney wind energy plant is made up of 102 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 3.6 MW.

The photovoltaic development of Enel Green Power is growing, with solar power plants that have achieved an installed capacity of 100 MW at the end of 2011.

Engineering group ABB and FG Emvelo will jointly develop concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in South Africa.

As new energy such as wind power and solar power feature low energy density and fewer hours of utilization of power generation, they cannot replace conventional power sources.

Mexico’s wind power sector is playing an expanding role in the global development of that renewable energy source, having just achieved the milestone of 1,000 Megawatts of installed wind farm capacity.

Chinese wind energy companies including Xinjiang Goldwind Science Technology and Sinovel, are studying expansion abroad.

?Our Fresnel technology with temperatures above 500°C will contribute to cost reductions of concentrated solar power in South Africa,? says Martin Selig, Founder of Novatec Solar.

Crane Creek Wind Farm, a 99 megawatt (MW) wind power project located in Howard County, Iowa is comprised of 66 General Electric (GE) 1.5-MW wind turbines.

Spanish utility Iberdrola has entered into a wind energy maintenance agreement with Tamoin Energías Renovables covering 600 MW of installed wind turbines capacity.

ABB has signed an agreement with FG Emvelo, an independent solar power plant company, to develop high-efficiency concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) plants at Karoshoek Solar Valley in South Africa.

Mr Tarun Kapur, Joint Secretary in the Ministry, said that developing such a solar power park would be one of the Corporation’s activities.

Concentrating solar power (CSP) technology prices in 2015 were assumed to remain level with 2011.

Located off the coast of Redcar in North East England, the wind farm will be equipped with 27 offshore wind turbines supplied by Siemens.

Interest in wind power and other forms of renewable distributed energy generation has revived; large corporate investment has led to the development of larger wind turbines and utility-scale wind farm plants.

Pursuing its expansion in the wind energy segment in Europe, EDF Energies Nouvelles announces the commissioning of the 48 MW Vallata and the 74 MW Bonorva wind power plants in Italy.
