Suzlon has been chosen by South Africa's Exxaro Resources and India's largest power utility, Tata Power Co. Ltd. as the preferred supplier for their Cennergi joint venture's 138MW South African wind farm.

Terms that still need to be finalized call for Suzlon to deliver 66 of its S97-2.1MW wind turbines for the project, part of a full engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) agreement. If all goes well, construction of the Cennergi wind farm is expected to begin in early 2013.

Vestas came out a big winner as a result of the second-round contract awards. The world's second-largest wind turbine manufacturer has been selected as the supplier to five South African wind energy projects with a combined capacity of 297MW:

West Coast 1, 94 MW, Developer: GDF Suez/IPR SA Tsitsikamma, 95.33 MW, Developer: Cennergi (Pty) Ltd. Grahamstown, 24.60 MW, Developer: EDF EN France Grassridge, 61.50 MW, Developer: EDF EN France Chaba, 21.53 MW, Developer: EDF EN France

Vestas has now been chosen as the preferred supplier of wind turbines for 36% of the wind power contracts- totaling 435.1MW- awarded by the South African government to date.

Both countries have clearly acknowledged that wind energy is a reliable and sustainable energy solution for the futur

In Denmark, the government has set a goal of achieving 50 per cent of our electricity consumption from wind energy by 2020, and Korea is leading the way by systematically implementing policies required to spur Green Growth.

We have installed more than 200 onshore wind power turbines in the country since 1998, and almost 70 per cent of installed wind power plants are currently using Vestas wind turbines.

With our many years of experience in turning the wind into energy on land and on sea, Vestas will strive to partner with South Korea to reach their goal of building sustainable cities and ensuring future generations have a reliable source of energy

So far, we have installed 581 offshore turbines, equalling 38 per cent of all such turbines in the world. In 2010 alone, we installed a total of 555 MW at the Robin Rigg, Thanet and Bligh Bank offshore wind farms, increasing our installed capacity to more than 1,400 MW.

"The new tax on sugar in food will first be implemented from 2013, and the details will be discussed in the coming year,"

The rationale is to improve the health in the Danish population by giving a stronger incitement to buy more healthy food.

It's a trend that could be mimicked all over the world

Danish bakers, famed for their flaky cinnamon pastries, are predictably up in arms.

Mike Rayner, Director of Oxford University’s Health Promotion Research Group, said that combining the fat tax with higher taxes on sugary products would prevent people substituting fatty foods with sugary treats.

"I think the saturated fat tax by itself would not have been particularly useful, but a saturated fat tax in conjunction with a higher tax on sugary products means they are trying to tackle unhealthy foods on two fronts."
