Suzlon wind energy subsidiary Repower has signed contracts to supply 20MW of its 2.05MW MM82 wind turbines to two wind power projects in England

According to estimates by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA), the capacity of European offshore wind farm alone could rise to 40,000 MW by 2020.

Siemens has won an order from Shiram EPC Limited to supply 17,000 of its UVAC 2010 solar thermal receivers to a 50 megawatt (MW) concentrated solar power (CSP) plant in India.

The Harbor wind farm began transmitting power to the grid last month. The construction of the wind power project will have a total of six wind turbines installed.

AREVA (Paris:AREVA) announces the delivery of 20 M5000 wind turbines, out of a total of 40, to be installed in Trianel’s Borkum offshore wind farm located in the German North Sea.

Wind Energy Update?s largest North American event, the 4th Annual Wind Energy Operations and Maintenance Summit, has already seen over 250 wind professionals and 18 sponsors confirm their attendance.

By 2015 the share of wind energy in the total volume of consumption of the alternative energy sources will hit 50 per cent and by 2020 it is expected to decrease to 32 per cent.

“As the Indian wind energy market continues to grow at over 40 percent per year, we believe the S8X will be a game changer in the high-growth 1.5 MW segment,” said Tulsi Tanti, chairman of the Suzlon Group.

The Wind Energy Foundation will provide an invaluable service?not only to wind energy?but to America and every country seeking to diversify into clean energy.

The broad base of support for wind energy positions us well to get the PTC extended at the next possible opportunity.

The report includes analysis of photovoltaic (PV) and concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies, identifying the key metrics that will help solar decision-makers navigate the market’s trajectory.

French oil giant Total (TOT) and state-controlled utility group Electricite de France with several other companies and organizations plan to build a research center for photovoltaic solar energy in the Paris region.

Leoni has enhanced its offering with a range of products and related services for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants, also called solar thermal energy plants.

SENER was selected as one of the winning companies for the European Business Award for the Environment/Spanish Division for its Gemasolar concentrated solar thermal project.

Keahole will use 9520 concentrating solar thermal panels from Sopogy Inc.

Siemens has been awarded a contract to deliver 22 wind turbines of the SWT-2.3-108 type for the onshore wind power project Dinar in Turkey.

The plant is ENERCON?s first production site in Austria and is scheduled to start producing precast concrete tower segments for wind energy projects.

The scenario is worse still when compared to the largest wind power producer in the world, China, which achieved a record 62,000 MW last year.
