100 percent renewable energy in Europe isn't possible? It is - and Iceland shows how it can be done. The sparsely populated island just below the Arctic Circle gets its energy entirely from hydropower and geothermal energy. But now voices are growing louder calling for the use of another energy source: wind power.
Renewable energy producer Pattern Energy announced it has entered an agreement for the sale of its directly owned Japanese assets and 100% of its interest in its affiliate in Japan, Green Power Investment Corp. (GPI), to NTT Anode Energy and JERA. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
On behalf of the German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH), Fugro will carry out geophysical surveys of two offshore wind farm areas in the German exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the North Sea.
Cerulean Winds has revealed plans to build the North Sea Renewables Grid (NSRG), an offshore integrated green power and transmission system, powered by floating wind, that oil and gas platforms will plug into for clean power.
Amazon is trying to switch its energy-intensive operations entirely to the use of renewable energy by 2025. Last year, the retail giant's hunger for electricity was equivalent to as much energy as all of Ecuador needs for its power supply. But there are limits.
CWP Global and Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies explore the possibilities for a green hydrogen transport chain from Morocco to Europe in feasibility study.
Wind and solar power will secure our energy supply in the future. The potential is huge - but now we need to act quickly and drive forward the expansion. US figures show what is possible.
Wind power and transmission line project SunZia is ready to kick off construction. Once completed, the project will generate and transmit a significant amount of wind energy from New Mexico to consumers in the western United States.
Dajin Offshore has been contracted by RWE and Northland Power to supply foundations for the 1.6-GW offshore wind cluster off the German coast.
While the EU only recently decided to develop the North Sea into a large-scale power plant for the production of offshore wind energy in the long term, the effects of offshore wind turbines on ocean biodiversity have so far been largely unknown. Now, a new research project aims to collect data.
After generating one million megawatt hours of green energy in the last two years alone, the Banks Renewables' ten onshore wind farms have just produced their three millionth megawatt hour of green energy in total.
RWE has ordered wind turbines with a total capacity of 1,000 MW from Siemens Gamesa for the company's European onshore pipeline.
If you read your 'North Sea Summit' news carefully at the beginning of the week, you may have noticed Luxembourg in the list of participating countries alongside eight North Sea countries. The dwarf state has no coastline, but is still involved in the offshore wind business.
CWP’s Vetrozelena wind farm, consisting of 48 turbines, has a planned installed capacity of 300 MW. The project's electricity output will reduce CO2 emissions by around 820,000 tons every year and supply more than 185,000 households with green electricity.
National Grid and TenneT want to build an electricity link that will connect offshore wind between the Netherlands and the UK to support decarbonisation, energy independence and strengthen British, Dutch and European security of supply.
RWE has announced that all major components for the 1,000 MW Thor offshore wind farm in Denmark have been secured. The company is signing agreements with suppliers for turbines, foundations, cables and the on- and offshore substation.
For centuries native Americans have been stripped off their land, persecuted, killed, and locked away in reservations. Most of the time these reservations are located in areas that otherwise offer little in the way of opportunities: No raw materials, far outside civilization, and often not even usable for farming. But now the land is arousing new desires.
Google and Eneco have signed a corporate Power Purchase Agreement (cPPA) for the supply of approximately 0.5 TWh of green electricity with a capacity of 153 MW per year for a period of 10 years.
Ørsted has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Acciona's infrastructure division. Acciona is a global engineering and construction firm focused on renewables and a designer of floating wind foundation solutions.
Iberdrola will build Spain's first hybrid wind and solar plant in Castilla y León, in the province of Burgos. Two photovoltaic plants of 41 and 33 MW are being installed to hybridise the existing 69 MW BaCa - Ballestas and Casetona - wind power complex in the region.
