    Prysmian opens its new extra high voltage (EHV) power cable plant in Abbeville (South Carolina) on 22 October, the first one of its kind in North America which until now has had to import this technology. The Italian-based group has invested €32m (US$48m) in the new facility to get competitive advantage in a market due to benefit from major government investment to modernize power transmission networks and exploit renewable energy.

    The London Stock Exchange listed Indian company, Vedanta, will build a US$15M (Dh55M) continuous copper rod plant with annual capacity of 100,000 tonnes in Fujairah, UAE, which will be operational by December to capture the strong demand from regional infrastructure projects. Copper rods manufactured by the plant will be used in cables for power grids for the region and the company is expecting more demand coming from not only the UAE and the GCC but the whole Middle East.

    Wisconsin regulatory officials, utility companies and environmentalists agree that more line capacity is needed to transport electricity generated by the growing number of wind farms. But they're not sure ITC's plan for giant-sized lines is the answer.

    Michael Vickerman, executive director of the Madison environmental group, Renew Wisconsin, said he has "reservations" about the need for 765-kilovolt lines. Smaller transmission upgrades can accommodate new wind generation, he said.

    Wisconsin Public Service Commission Chairman Eric Callisto also has questions.

    "I don't want to close any doors to what they have proposed but I have lots of grave concerns about the cost," he said. ITC is proposing "very large lines" that would require "very large right-of-ways," Callisto said. A right-of-way is the legal permission to use a property owner's land or the area above it.

    Amid the ongoing global economic slowdown, the construction of power grid projects in China is proceeding well, and demand for electrical wire and cable is expected to remain robust. However, even though power consumption has exhibited a growing trend, the month-by-month growth rate has slowed. As a result, copper semis related to electrical equipment have currently shown bearish demand signals. For the first 10 months of 2008, newly built power supply capacity amounted to 58.462m KW, while newly built capacity in October declined by 73% year-on-year.

  • The redeveloped World Trade
    Center     will be “one of the largest fuel cell installations in the world”
    according to the New York Power Authority (NYPA).


    Under the US$10.6 million agreement between NYPA and fuel cell developer and
    provider UTC Power, fuel
    cells with a total capacity of 4.8MW will provide an on-site supplement to the
    renewable and other clean energy that will power the rebuilt centre.


    The first fuel cells will be delivered to the Freedom Tower in January 2009,
    and will be owned and operated by the Port Authority, which also owns the
    building. The fuel cells for the other three towers will be owned and operated
    by World Trade Center Properties, LLC.


    “Fuel cells are one of the environmentally beneficial technologies that the
    Power Authority is investing in under Governor Paterson’s leadership to combat
    greenhouse gas emissions and diversify the state’s energy mix. To date, we’ve
    installed 15 fuel cells in New York City and other locations, and expect to add
    to this total in support of the Governor’s ambitious goals for significant
    increases in the state’s renewable power,” says Roger B Kelley, NYPA President
    and Chief Executive Officer.

    Mention copper to almost anyone in the PCB industry these days and the first thing that springs to mind is the ongoing price increase. Although copper pricing is not directly monitored by BPA, the impact on the price of laminate and PCBs is monitored through BPA's quarterly survey for its PCB Information Service. \n\nIn the short term, forecasted increases on the demand side for copper prices are likely to remain at least at the current level. The trend in copper usage has diverged in the fact that a number of different applications now exist. \n\nAt one time, 1 ounce (35µm) copper was standard, but the average is now 0.5 ounces. Using thinner copper, if the design will allow, can, to some extent, offset a price increase. However, one segment of the PCB industry which is particularly vulnerable to copper prices is the automotive sector, where recent developments have seen the introduction of thick copper PCBs for smart fuse boxes and power electronics. These boards use 4 ounce, 6 ounce and 10 ounce copper--up to 20 times the standard thickness.

  • . Masdar, the oil-rich emirate’s $15 billion
    renewable energy venture, and Spanish technology company Sener on
    Wednesday announced a joint venture called Torresol Energy to build
    large-scale solar power plants in Australia, Europe, the Middle East,
    North Africa and the United States.


  • The irony is too rich to leave unsaid: A leading oil producer
    invests billions in carbon-free energy while a leading consumer of
    fossil fuels - the United States - continues to subsidize Big Oil while
    while offering only tepid support for green technology

  • Torresol plans to build solar power plants using a technology it
    calls a Central Tower Receiver system. It’s similar to technology used
    by competitors like BrightSource in that fields of mirrors called
    heliostats focus the sun’s rays on tower that contains a receiver. In
    this case the receiver is filled with salt which when heated vaporizes
    water to create steam that drives an electricity-generating turbine.
    The company says it intends to have 500 megawatts of solar electricity
    online by 2012.
