E.ON Solar, a part of E.ON SE, a global leader in energy solutions, today announced the completion of Alamo Solar (Alamo) in San Bernardino County, California. The 20 MW (AC) photovoltaic solar facility, located near the town of Oro Grande, marks E.ON's first solar project executed in the state and is the latest expansion of a growing U.S. footprint.
Due to Vietnam's industrialization and integration, the growth in electricity demand has been increasing at an enormous rate. With a population of over 90 million people and an average annual GDP growth rate of 6.9%, in order to ensure sustainable growth, Vietnam has increased its energy demand by 10% during the past 10 years, and is expecting to continue to do so by another 400% over the next 20 years. Electricity consumption accounts for the majority of the energy demand and is expected to increase at an even faster rate, by 600%, over the next 20 years.
The growing emphasis on renewable and carbon neutral energy generation has pushed tidal energy into the spotlight. Tidal energy being more reliable than wave energy has a few operational plants with substantial capacity across the globe. New, experimental concepts such as dynamic tidal power, which enable production even in low-tide regions, possess the potential to disrupt existing technologies and make tidal power a key energy resource.
Reducing energy waste, using more renewable energy sources like solar and wind, cogeneration fueled by natural gas and, depending on long-term price projections, an appropriate amount of natural gas-fired combined cycle generation can help Michigan comply with the federal Clean Power Plan at lowest cost.
Solar Power, Inc. ("SPI"), a vertically-integrated photovoltaic ("PV") developer, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, SPI China (HK) Limited, has closed a transaction to sell the entire issued share capital of Solar Park Developments 4 Ltd ("Gelliwern Farm"), which holds a solar project in the United Kingdom with a rated capacity of approximately 6.24 megawatts ("MW"), to a fund managed by BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock"), a global leader in investment management, risk management and advisory services.
Representatives of the U.S. geothermal industry applauded U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alas., and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., for legislation introduced yesterday. Their broad, bipartisan energy bill, The Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, “would help America achieve its geothermal potential,” commented Karl Gawell, Executive Director of the Geothermal Energy Association, “by addressing some of the most important barriers to geothermal development in the U.S.”
SkyPower, the world's largest developer and owner of utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) energy projects, today signed a landmark agreement with the Kenyan Ministry of Energy and Petroleum for the development of 1 GW of world-class solar projects to be built in four phases in Kenya over the next five years.
EU's grid connected cumulative capacity in 2014 reached 129 GW, meeting 8% of European electricity demand, equivalent to the combined annual consumption of Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece and Ireland. According to a JRC report, the impressive growth of the industry will allow at least 12% electricity share by 2020, a significant contribution to the goal of the European energy and climate package of 20% share of energy from renewable sources.
Southern California Edison (SCE) has launched its sixth Renewable Auction Mechanism (RAM) solicitation for renewable electricity as part of its program to procure resources sized between 3 and 20 megawatts.
SunPower announced today that it has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with NV Energy to build a 100-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant planned for construction in the Eldorado Valley of Boulder City, Nevada.
