What are the top countries in the world for new and total installed solar power? Or for solar power per capita? Or per GDP? Or per electricity production? Check out this post for the answers. […]
Closing out this series (I think), below are the top countries in the world* for wind power capacity relative to electricity production**. In other words, these are the countries that have the most wind power compared to their electricity production. This post follows posts on top wind power countries … [continued]
Following up on my post yesterday presenting the top countries in the world for total installed wind power (end of 2011) and newly installed wind power (2011) per capita, below are charts and lists on the top countries* in the world for total installed wind power per GDP and … [continued]
What are the top countries in the world for wind power, per capita? Take a look below! I’ve been meaning to get to this for awhile, but hopefully that means the data have just gotten better since I first intended to put this together. The Global Wind Energy Council … [continued]
We’ve published about 24 solar energy stories in the past week. In addition to those, here are some other top solar stories from around the interwebs (be sure to catch the picture at the bottom): Solar Market Research McKinsey & Company projects that solar is entering a period of … [continued]
Greece is confident that its considerable green energy goals and roadmap will lead it out of its economic troubles. Those plans, which include a €20-billion solar power initiative, are also supposed to lead it to 100% green electricity by 2050. Greece Wants to Become Major Solar Energy Player Lucas … [continued]
Other than our own stories on these topics and more, here’s some top clean energy news from around the internet from the past several days. News on solar energy, wind energy, clean transportation, clean energy policy, wave energy, energy efficiency, and cleantech innovation. Solar Energy Average prices for crystalline-silicon … [continued]
Sunny-lucky Greece has not been doing well financially, as I think you know. But it’s looking to tap into that solar treasure chest in order to pay back some of its financial saviors, such as soon-to-be-nuclear-free Germany. EU’s energy commissioner Gunther Oettinger, the director general for energy Philip Lowe, and … [continued]
Yes, following up on my posts looking at total installed wind power capacit, wind power growth, and wind power capacity relative to GDP, here’s one on wind power capacity related to population. I think this is very useful information for comparing which countries are true wind power leaders.
We make a big deal of how much total wind power capacity is installed in different countries, but perhaps a better way to look at wind power capacity is compared to GDP or population. At the least, it is an interesting way to look at this.
