India to build world's largest solar power project spread across 23,000 acres, expected to generate around 6,000 million units of electricity annually.
What does the future hold for the world's largest renewable energy source, hydropower?
Hydropower is an incredibly old source of energy, tracing its usage back to the watermills that have been a staple of civilisations since ancient times.
Today, it is the largest source of renewable energy in the world, with an installed capacity of over 1126GW in 2018. Hydropower is particularly prominent in China, where the world's largest power station Three Gorges power plant in Hubei province produces 22.5GW. Other massive projects also dot the country, including the Xilodu (12.3GW) and Longtan (6.3GW) dams.
Oil and gas rigs are some of the biggest moveable structures in the world. Modern rigs cost millions of dollars and can weigh up to 30,000 tons. So what does it take to move these engineering marvels? We ask David Wells, CEO of consultancy, and rig-moving specialists, Aqualis Offshore.
Offshore wind could be described as the younger sibling of onshore wind, with the first offshore windfarm being completed off the coast of Denmark 1991.
In countries such as the US, offshore wind is almost non-existent at the moment , but offshore wind is particularly strong in the UK and Europe, with 1.9GW being installed on the continent in the first half of 2019.
Paimpol-Brehat Tidal Farm is being constructed off the coast of Paimpol-Brehat in North Brittany, France. It is set to become the largest tidal array in the world once all its four turbines are operational.
Plans in Cumbria to build Europe's largest power plant have been cemented after Toshiba and GDF Suez signed a deal to develop the site. But big questions remain over the design of the plant and the future of the nuclear power industry in the UK.
RWE Innogy's UK subsidiary RWE npower renewable has built a biomass-based combined heat and power (CHP) plant to supply power to a paper mill owned by Tullis Russel in Markinch, a small town in Fife, Scotland. With an installed capacity of 50MW, it will be the largest power plant of its kind in the country when operational.
The 115MW El Arrayán wind power plant will be the largest wind energy facility in Chile once complete. Located about 400km north of Santiago in the coastal zone of Ovalle, the project was developed by Parque Eolico El Arrayan, a joint venture between Pattern Energy and Antofagasta Minerals.
he US is the second largest producer of wind energy in the world, but output by state varies by factors including size, climate and policy. What are the top ten US states by wind energy capacity
India's largest power utility NTPC has plans to use biomass to co-fire all its coal-based power plants. The decision is a bold move that will reduce the company's overall carbon emissions, but what challenges might it face during implementation and how will the change impact India's overall energy mix?

The decision by Iraq to invite interest in a number of solar independent power producer (IPP) projects is not the first time that Baghdad has sought to push ahead with competitively tendered IPP schemes.
