Clean Energy Transition

Whether they’re building a new house or improving a well-loved home, energy-conscious homeowners everywhere are trying to lower energy use and costs. Even with the best of intentions, however, consumers are overwhelmed by too much information, which causes many of them to give up long before they screw in their first CFL light bulb. To remedy this situation, Minnesota Power created the Pyramid of Conservation as a “cheat sheet” for consumers who want to live a more energy-efficient life.

The remote Alaskan village of Igiugig—home to about 50 people—will be the first to demonstrate a new approach to wind power that could boost power output and, its inventors say, just might make it more affordable.

Après la mise en service des centrales photovoltaïques de Crucey (Centre) en septembre et de Massangis (Bourgogne) en octobre, EDF Energies Nouvelles vient d’annoncer celle de Toul-Rosières, en Lorraine. Avec une puissance  installée de 115 MWc, elle devient la première centrale solaire de France. Lumière sur cette réalisation d’envergure, couplée à un projet de reconversion ambitieux.
