Thin-film solar cells, in addition to using less natural resources and requiring fewer steps in the production process, feature high long-term reliability and offer superior power generating efficiency in hot-climate.

The wind power sector has grown rapidly in recent years, with over 3000 wind turbines now installed in 300 wind farm plants in the UK alone.

Government bureaucracy in processing funds risks delaying the implementation of a geothermal energy project in Menenga.

The UK is to hold talks with Iceland about harnessing the geothermal energy of its volcanoes to import energy.

This research service analyzes the world solar power market with a special focus on Europe. The base year for this study is 2010 and the forecast period is 2011-2017.

Mersen has been chosen by REpower, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of onshore and offshore wind turbines, to supply signal transmission systems for the Thornton Bank wind farm.

Nordex SE (NDX1), a Hamburg-based wind power maker, won a contract to supply 10 of the machines to Bavaria’s largest wind farm

Huaneng Rudong Wind Power Generation Company Limited Wind Farm Phase I Project (the “Project”) (in which the company has controlling interest) was recently approved.

The American Wind Energy Association’s (AWEA) 2011 Annual Market Report reveals that the US wind turbines industry installed 6816 MW in 2011

Construction progressed on Shams I, the largest concentrated solar power. Masdar’s Torresol Energy inaugurated the Gemasolar 19.9 megawatt concentrating solar thermal power plant in Spain.

Along with competitors like Abengoa and SolarReserve, it is a leading player in what’s known as Concentrating Solar Thermal Power or “CSP.”

A new milestone in the wind power industry. Ideal wind fam plants include India, China provinces surrounding large consumption areas (Beijing and Shanghai), Brazil and low-wind sites in Europe and the US.

The San Luis City Council has scheduled a hearing on the Wind Power Project to be held on May 9th, 2012.

India has taken a leap in the solar energy (photovoltaic and concentrating solar power), and wind power race with a 54 per cent increase in investments in 2011 vaulting it from 10th to sixth place in the G-20.

Nigeria’s first ever wind power project is due for commissioning in July this year in Kastina State, the Minister of State for Power, Arc. Darius Ishaku has said.

The wind farm will be using Enercon`s 800 kW Gearless E53 wind turbines designed for medium to low wind power speed sites.

These five solar power plants use photovoltaic thin-film solar cell modules manufactured by 3Sun S.r.l., an equal joint venture of Sharp, EGP, and ST Microelectronics.

With the total coastline length of more than 3000 kilometers, Vietnam is believed to have great potentials to develop wind power. However, it has been warned that running wind farm projects at sea would be very costly.
