The move is expected to help accelerate the development of geothermal energy and reduce dependency on fossil fuels for power generation.

Amidst the backdrop of a challenging US Concentrated Solar Power market, there have been great efforts made with advancements in technology, engineering, cost reductions and lobbying efforts.

Intermittency is one of the biggest barriers to the uptake of solar energy, however a new CSIRO report demonstrates that this challenge can be overcome.

Among the renewable sources of energy?wind energy, solar power, and geothermal energy ?each has a major role to play, but wind power is on its way to becoming the centerpiece of the new energy economy.

In 2011, at 3,500 billion kilowatt-hours, hydroelectricity accounted for roughly 16 percent of global electricity generation, almost all produced by the world?s 45,000-plus large dams.

A study made by the US Department of Energy ? National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) ? shows that the Philippines’ wind power potential could provide up to 76 gigawatt (GW) of power.

In 2009, the Government of the Province of Ontario instituted a clean energy plan and has been working proactively to shift from coal-fired to wind energy, solar energy, and bio-energy.

The Engineering procurement Contract for the wind turbines has been awarded to Suzlon Energy. The wind energy project is likely to be commissioned in October.

1.1 gigawatts of Concentrating Solar Power are now under construction in USA.

Wind energy is on course to supply 20% of New Zealand?s electricity by Y 2030, compared with just 5% now.

First Wind Holdings, LLC (First Wind) and Emera Inc. (TSX: EMA) announced today the closing of their transaction to jointly own and operate wind energy projects in the Northeast U.S. through a new company.

What component is the most challenging on a wind farm and what is the most crucial aspect of the supply chain at present?

These awards will help speed innovations in new components to lower costs, increase operating temperatures and improve the efficiency of Concentrating Solar Power systems.

The myth that solar power is unreliable because clouds sometimes cover the sun has been dispelled by a world-first report produced by the CSIRO.

Friday 15 June is Global Wind Day, when thousands will experience the power of wind energy at more than 200 events in at least 40 countries around the world.

Germany ranked first among the group of developed nations in deploying renewable energy, with 10.7 percent of electricity production from renewables, wind energy and solar power.
