Everybody knows that offshore wind farms cost a lot, but the US Department of Energy looks at Atlantic coast offshore wind energy from a new angle — and likes what it sees.
Portugal is taking an early lead in renewables to such an extent that for the month of March it produced 4.3% more renewable electricity, at 4,812 GWh, than its total electricity consumption of 4,647 GWh. Perhaps more impressively, Portugal put up these numbers in the face of a massive 9.7% year over year increase in electricity consumption versus 2017.
Wind energy is one of the fastest growing forms of electricity generation in the United States, with the largest share renewable electricity generating capacity in the country, and according to new information from the American Wind Energy Association, wind energy now supplies more than 30% of the electricity in four states — Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, and South Dakota.
Reading, seeing, watching, or listening to what passes off as news these days can inevitably bring a sense of doom, uncertainty, and fear (FUD) that some politicians love to bathe in to justify their middlemen role and push whatever pet project they have for their business buddies. But there is also good quality news out there if you let independent journalists communicate what they know best, fields they master for the purpose of bringing more light to important matters.
Nearly eight years after we first covered news about India taking initial steps to set up offshore wind energy projects, the first government document seen as a precursor to a final auction has been released.
A new study published this week by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has shown that the value created by offshore wind varies significantly depending on location, ranging from $110 per megawatt-hour (MWh) to as low as $40/MWh.
The European wind energy industry invested a total of €51.2 billion ($63.22 billion) in 2017, with €22.3 billion ($27.54) of this going towards new wind farms, a figure down on the €28 billion invested during 2016, but allowing for more capacity.
The most popular CleanTechnica stories of the past week were epic … or not. Check ’em out and decide for yourself:
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy announced on Monday that it had been awarded the contract to supply wind turbines for four separate wind farms in Spain by developer Gas Natural Fenosa Renovables, for a total of 166 megawatts (MW).
