The solar plant comprises of 3,000 square meters of photovoltaic cells on seven roofs, producing around 400,000 kWh of electricity for about 130 households.

Siemens New Zealand CEO Paul Ravlich says Siemens is delighted to be partnering with Meridian again to extend New Zealand’s wind energy capacity.

Welspun Energy is investing $250 million in two wind energy projects in the Indian state of Karnataka, and is raising $750 million in debt from unnamed banks to finance the wind farm projects.

According to the Irish Wind Energy Association, commercial wind power is deployed in more than 75 countries around the world, with 21 countries, including Ireland, having more than 1000 MW installed.

To celebrate the growing contribution of wind power in Canada, the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) launched the Power of Wind Blog Contest with bursary prizes.

Canadian Solar, one of the world?s largest solar power companies, has entered into a master supply agreement for 17 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules with Potentia Solar.

Europe faces a policy void after 2020 when the main pillars of EU energy policy ? targets for renewable energy, emissions and energy efficiency ? run out.

The jobs that the wind power industry creates in construction, installation, and maintenance are “homegrown American jobs that can’t be outsourced.”

The Energy Ministry forecasts that the capacity of wind power stations will grow to 3-4 GW by 2030, and their annual electricity output will increase to 7 billion-9 billion kWh.

Wind power is growing in New Zealand with the installation of new wind turbines.

The European Wind Energy Association received 2,300 entries to the competition, giving the professional jury a tough challenge. After days of negotiation, the winners were chosen by geographic region.

On the other hand, there’s also a methodology for the analytical calculation of scattering produced by wind turbines when they are hit head-on by a spherical electromagnetic wave.

Coordinated by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) and the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), last year the celebration consisted of more than 230 events in 40 countries.

Vattenfall has 40 different wind energy plants with around 900 wind turbines.

Meridian Energy announced today that construction on the Mill Creek wind farm north of Wellington will start soon.

Wind power already generates nearly 5 per cent of New Zealand?s electricity. That figure is set to increase with the decision to build the Mill Creek wind farm.

KONGSBERG has been implemented to develop solutions for wind farm management and operations that will ultimately lower the cost of wind power generation.

Solar photovoltaics is growing rapidly, to a total global capacity of 67,400 megawatts (MW) at the end of 2011, representing 0.5 percent of worldwide electricity demand.

Soitec’s products include substrates for microelectronics (most notably SOI: Silicon-on-Insulator) and concentrator photovoltaic systems (CPV).

The first phase of the solar energy project has been completed, with a total of 395kW of solar power having been installed at five locations which will generate an annual 465,227kWh of power.
