European Commission publishes guidance document on “Wind energy developments and Natura 2000”

EWEA - China getting ready to overtake US as wind energy leader

What explains the dramatic growth of wind power in China? Genuine political commitment is certainly the deciding factor, something the US has been lacking to date

BELGIUM - No disagreement as Belgians say “yes” to wind power

In a kingdom frequently divided by disagreement over matters political and beyond, it is heartening to see wind energy getting a resounding “yes” vote

Wind energy proposals in the U.S. should face one less hurdle now that the Pentagon has given approval to eight wind farms after determining they would not interfere with a nearby military radar facility

Europe - Offshore wind power will help EU to meet its 2020 renewable energy target

The current total installed capacity offshore wind energy amounts to 2.4 GW which should rise to around 150 GW by 2030

As many as 60,000 green jobs could be in jeopardy if plans to build three factories to make offshore wind turbines are sacrificed by the government’s spending review

Europe - 948 offshore wind turbines in 43 offshore wind farms

Belgian EU Presidency brought together governments and industry to speed up the building of an integrated offshore electricity grid in the North Seas

In 2009 Denmark still showed the way with wind turbines covering 19.3% of the national electricity demand. Coming in a surprise second is Portugal – last year wind covered 15% of the country’s electricity

Referring to climate change mitigation and other environmental benefits, the report also found that offshore wind power is much safer than nuclear power, natural gas, coal and oil

In an article published this month in Power and Energy, Christian Kjaer argues that in order to stimulate an internal electricity market in Europe, a ‘fifth freedom’ needs to be instated quickly

Although the Byers’ wind turbines are not designed to compete with the capacity of industrial-scale wind farm, they are indicative of a growing trend by businesses to tap into the many benefits of wind power

Europe - Wind energy will dominate new power installations for next decade

The EU Commission expects 64% of new capacity to be renewable energy, 17% gas, 12% coal, 4% nuclear and 3% oil

France - Getting ready for offshore wind energy to take off

France, which gets most of its energy through its extensive nuclear power facilities, has recently begun supporting wind power and other renewables

Saving of water is very important from a human rights perspective. Other sources of electricity, such as coal and nuclear, consume considerable quantities of water

Offshore wind heads for record year

‘GRIDS 2010 – the backbone of Europe’s energy future’ is the title of a two-day conference and exhibition organised by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) on 23-24 November in Berlin.
