A couple of years ago when I visited the gigantic wind turbine test site at Østerild in northern Denmark, I wondered how big these things would end up being. It seems the efficiency limit is about to be within reach, and while this may not be the case in technical … [continued]
Global wind turbine orders increased by 31% in 2018 thanks in part to a 20% fourth-quarter increase which saw 18 gigawatts of new capacity added.
The Indian spree of wind energy auctions seen over the last two years has resulted in an upsurge in orders for some of the leading wind turbine manufacturers. This recent jump in orders comes as developers look to meet the deadlines to commission their respective projects.
German energy company E.ON announced last week that it is set to build one of the largest onshore wind farms in Europe, following the company’s decision to invest in the 475 megawatt (MW) Nysäter project to be built in Sweden.
Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas managed to hold on to its spot as the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturer in 2017, but its recent dominance may not last forever as Siemens Gamesa is narrowing the gap after its successful merger was completed early last year.
New figures from Navigant Research have confirmed Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas as the world’s leading supplier of wind turbines, with more than 6,445 megawatts of capacity reported in the second half of 2016 — almost 3,000 megawatts more than in the first half of 2016.
Originally published on Nexus Media. By Steve Hargreaves and Courtney St. John Renewable energy has long been derided a too-expensive, too-puny pet of the liberal elite. This week several stories prove that’s just not the case. In the last eight years, U.S. onshore wind power prices have dropped 41 percent; … [continued]
Danish wind energy giant Vestas is ranked as the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturer, in a new assessment from Navigant Research. According to the new Navigant Research Leaderboard Report: Global Wind Turbine Vendors, Vestas leads GE Energy, Siemens, and Gamesa, as the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturers in terms of strategy … [continued]
Nordex is rapidly expanding its footprint in the emerging wind energy market of Pakistan as it lands order after order to supply turbines to several companies. Gul Ahmed Energy, a wind energy project developer in Pakistan, recently placed its first order for wind turbines with Nordex. The German company will supply … [continued]
Each month there are a certain number of wind energy projects which slip under our radar for being too small. They range in size up to 100 MW, and are inevitably skipped over by those of us who cover wind energy installations as not needing an article dedicated entirely to … [continued]
