wind power europe

shared by Sergio Ferreira on 02 Feb 09 - Cached
  • 43% of all new electricity generating capacity built in the European Union last year was wind energy, exceeding all other technologies including gas, coal and nuclear power.
  • 20 wind turbines were installed for every working day of 2008. By the end of the year, a total of 160,000 workers were employed directly and indirectly in the sector, which saw investments of about €11 billion in the EU
  • Wind energy is an example of an intelligent investment that puts EU citizens’ money to work in their own economies rather than transferring it to a handful of fuel-exporting nations

  • In terms of offshore wind energy, 357 MW of capacity was added in 2008, to reach a total of 1,471 MW. Nearly 2.3% of total installed EU capacity is now offshore.

  • CSEM, the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology, has signed a contract with the government of the Emirate of Ras Al-Khaimah (RAK) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to develop a prototype of a “Solar Island”. The aim of the project is to validate a concept for the large-scale transformation of solar energy into hydrogen and electricity at very low cost. It is funded by 5 mio US$ by the Gouvernment of Ras al Khaimah. The plan is to build large “Solar Islands” floating in the sea. These giant floating islands will be fitted with solar panels which will convert solar energy into electricity and/or hydrogen. A prototype of such a solar island, equipped with thermal solar panels, is to be built and tested in the desert of the United Arab Emirates.

    Imagine that you come home from a long working day and you want to turn on the lights, you want to heat the rooms, you want to cook a meal, you want to take a warm shower, you want to watch some TV, and you want to turn your computer to send your friends some emails. However nothing works because there`s no electricity! If we consider that some of the energy resources that we heavily rely on today - such as gas and coal - may run out, this situation canbecome true.Why not change this situation? Why not start using other resources, such as solar electricity? Thanks to technological developments, the sunlight can be converted to solar electricity. And the bes ist: You can make solar electricity in your home.By making and using solar electricity you'll not only be independent of the energy companies, but you will also save a lot of money and still contribute with our planet Earth.A guide that reveals how to generate solar electricity is available on the website Earth4Energy. With a detailed manual and videos, they teach you how to build the system to geberate your own solar electricity. To know more

    Solar electricity is no doubt has a big future and can protect our environment. Currently, I'm working with Solar City. This firm manufactures its own solar panel systems to fit the order of government, non-profit purchases, and residential consumers. In terms of warranty, Solar City has the longest period of 30-year warranty coverage as reviewed. If someone is interested, it is possible to address it via solarcity phone number https://solarcity.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html

  • As a result of these policies, we can expect a gradual decrease in oil consumption in the EU over the coming years, and the beginning of the switch to cleaner more efficient, and often renewable transport.
  • the era of cheap energy is over, and at a time when, in any event, we have an absolute obligation to future generations to move to clean, carbon free energy sources for heat, power and transport due to climate change. This is the challenge facing us.
  • draft directive guaranteeing 20% renewables
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Practically all of these measures were already cost effective at 60$ pr barrel of oil.
  • lead efforts in an increased drive for Energy Efficiency
  • ensure that 10% of EU transport is powered by renewable fuel by 2020 into practice. It should be noted that this 10% can be covered by biofuels, or electricity from renewable sources.
  • There is an energy future for all of us. This future will most likely be organised around different patterns of production, consumption and behaviour. Like with climate change, action is needed now.

Global Wind Energy Council - Latin America new wind capacity - 0 views

  • Latin America: new wind capacity in five countries
  • The Latin American market seems to be waking up to the opportunity of its enormous wind power potential. While growth in 2010 was still small in absolute terms, with 703 MW installed across the continent, this represented a 50% increase in total installed capacity. In addition, the pipeline for new developments is substantial
  • In 2010, Mexico’s installed wind capacity more than doubled for the second year in a row, with 316 MW of new capacity added to the existing 202 MW operating at the end of 2009. The total installed wind power capacity now amounts to 519 MW. Nearly all the wind projects operating in Mexico are located in Oaxaca (six projects with a capacity of 508 MW), and a further 19 projects are in the pipeline in this region. Other promising regions with good wind potential include Baja California and the Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico.

  • Two renewable energy auctions took place in Brazil in 2010, contracting more than 2,000 MW worth of new wind power capacity. Together with the 1,800 MW of the 2009 auction and new auctions announced for June 2011, this makes for a very healthy pipeline for the coming years

  • Along with wind power, concentrating photovoltaics (CPV) offers one of the most promising utility-scale, renewable energy technology options. CPV has a current system efficiency of 25% and the potential of reaching much higher efficiency. In the right locations, it could provide electricity at cost low enough to be competitive with fossil and nuclear power. Compared to other solar technologies, CPV has the advantage of modularity and very low water needs. This documentary goes across technology features of CPV. A visit to ISFOC (CPV Institute in Puertollano, South of Spain) serves as connecting thread. A second series will follow, focusing on interviews to industry representatives.

  • The two reports on the impacts of EE/RE on Texas -- Role of Energy Efficiency and Onsite Renewables in Meeting Energy and Environmental Needs in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston/Galveston Metro Areas and The Economic Benefits of an Energy Efficiency and Onsite Renewable Energy Strategy to Meet Growing Electricity Needs in Texas -- were released today by the American Council for an Energy-Efficiency Economy (ACEEE). These studies build upon an ACEEE report released last March that examined the statewide impacts of a suite of EE/RE policies that showed Texas could meet most of its projected needs for electricity while also addressing concerns about peak demand.
