Research and Markets has released a new report titled “Wind Energy-International Market Trends”. This report projects the rapidly increasing usage of clean technologies that include solar power, fuel-celled power automobiles, wind power and other bio materials. This increase is due to political pressures, environmental issues, wasting of natural resources and the existence of an unsteady energy sector.
Southern California Edison’s (SCE) application to construct segments 4 to 11 of the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project (TRTP) was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This project is the first transmission project that is being constructed in California for the specific purpose of accessing multiple renewable energy generators in remote areas that are rich in renewable sources. The construction of the transmission line is consistent with California’s renewable energy goals.
A new report entitled ‘Opportunity Assessment for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul in the Global Wind Energy Market’ has been released by Reportlinker.com. In this report, Lucintel is of the opinion that a wide number of opportunities are available for suppliers of repair, overhaul services and maintenance through annual outages, planned and unplanned maintenance, long-term maintenance contracts, long-term service agreements, periodical improvements of different plants and equipment and corrective repair. Service providers are attracted towards the current expenditures of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) costs which contribute to 20% - 25% of expenditures in the wind turbine market.
GDF SUEZ has completed the construction of the largest wind operation, Caribou Wind Park, in the province of New Brunswick. Commercial operation at Caribou Wind Park has also started in this facility, which is located 70 kilometers northwest of Bathurst, New Brunswick. In order to fulfill a 20-year power purchase agreement with New Brunswick Power, this 99-megawatt facility will supply its entire power to the utility. The electricity produced in Caribou Wind Park is sufficient to power 30,000 homes and meets about 2% of the power requirements in the province.
A new transmission project, LaSalle Transmission Project, to connect Indiana and Illinois has been initiated by LS Power. The 345-kilovolt transmission line project will help to develop renewable energy projects in this region.
NextEra Energy Resources announced that it has completed the previously declared acquisition of three wind farms from Babcock & Brown. The three operating wind farms acquired by the company have a combined capacity of 184.5 MW. NextEra Energy Resources is a leading wind power generator in North America.
A-Power Energy Generation Systems, a wind turbine manufacturer and supplier of distributed power generation systems, announced that a definite agreement for the ownership of a project company was signed by Shenyang Power Group along with affiliates of US Renewable Energy Group (US-REG), and Cielo Wind Power (Cielo Wind).
Solar Montana supplies grid connected wind power systems from Bergey Windpower. The Bergey 10kW grid connected wind power system comprises a Bergey Excel wind turbine and a GridTek 10 power processor. The Bergey Excel wind turbine has a total of three upwind blades in an overall rotor diameter of 7 meters.
