US society needs to make the right choices today in order to assure adequate, affordable supplies of both energy and water. Pursuing a strategic pathway centered on low-carbon renewable energy resources and energy efficiency gains can get us there, according to a comprehensive study undertaken by the “Energy and Water in a Warming World Initiative” (EW3).
Raising the capital to install a 657-kW solar PV system at the Pinnacle Charter School is the first joint project for D-Sun and Mosaic as they look to leverage their respective expertise and resources to scale up their online distributed solar energy financing platforms.
Raising $28.4 in new capital from a group of existing and new investors, Arizona’s Heliae is ready to prove it can manufacture algae-based products for a range of target markets at commercial scale.
Fifty-eight GE 1.7-100 and nine 1.6-100 Brilliant wind turbines will be heading to Australia as part of a Downer EDI-GE Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) wind farm engineering and procurement contract (EPC). In addition to generating some 113 MW of clean, renewable electricity – enough to supply at least 40,000 homes – bringing the project to fruition will result in the avoidance of some 300,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions as compared to coal-fired power generation.
The Los Angeles Dept. of Water & Power is set to accept a second round of applications to its pioneering solar feed-in tariff program. With the first round hugely oversubscribed, LADWP anticipates another strong public response.

Lower Cost Wind Energy + New Revenue-Generating Opportunities The GE Brilliant 1.6-100’s Ramp Control, Predictive Power Analytics, and short-term, grid-scale … [continued]
Already competitive with electricity produced by coal and natural gas-fired power plants, GE is driving the cost of clean, green, renewable energy down further with its Brilliant line of wind turbines and power management systems. Incorporating Ramp Control, Predictive Power Analytics, and short-term, grid-scale battery storage in an integrated wind power systems platform, GE Power & Wind believes it’s on the right track when it comes to addressing one of the industry’s persisting criticisms: the intermittent nature of wind.
With ThinkBlue, the world’s third largest automaker is raising the stakes in its sustainability drive, including allocating $500 million-$600 million for renewable energy investments. VW management recently hosted an energy management workshop and site tour of its green manufacturing facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. CleanTechnica was there.
The US, China and Germany, ranked as the top three most attractive countries for renewable energy investment in 2012, a year in which renewable energy came of age, ushering in an era of democratization of energy, according to the 10th anniversary edition of Ernst & Young’s RECAI.
