Walney Extension: The largest offshore windfarm in the world - 1 views

  •  
    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.

Dams be damned: is hydropower holding countries back? - 1 views

  •  
    A 2000 report by the World Commission on Dams showed a huge fall in popularity, leading some to declare the era of the dam was over. Almost two decades on and they are enjoying something of a renaissance. Andrew Tunnicliffe speaks with Professor Benjamin Sovacool about the impact dams have on the socioeconomics of a country and why corruption is often rife.

Why has wave power lagged behind other renewable energy sources? - 1 views

  •  
    With the UK going coal-free for a record-breaking 90 hours over the weekend, energy sources such as solar and onshore wind now play a key role in generating electricity. However, with the urgent need for new energy sources to replace the 60% of the electricity produced worldwide by fossil fuel combustion, it has become necessary to look further afield to alternative energy sources.

IRENA report renewable energy now one third of the world's capacity - 1 views

  •  
    Renewable energy now forms one-third of the world's total energy capacity, according to a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). The agency found that 171GW of Renewable energy was added to the global system in 2018, with an annual increase of 7.9%. Two-thirds of new power generation capacity added in 2018 came from Renewables.

Energy security: can the UK handle a calm, cold, cloudy snap? - 1 views

  •  
    The perennial argument for maintaining significant fossil fuel capacity is this: when the wind doesn't blow, and the sun doesn't shine, and the mercury drops low enough that the whole country simultaneously dials up the thermostat, then renewables on their own are not enough to keep the lights on
