China Set To Take Stage As Largest Energy Storage Market In APAC By 2024
Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables expects China will become the largest energy storage market in the Asia Pacific region by 2024, with the country’s cumulative energy storage capacity expected to skyrocket from 489 megawatts (MW)/843 megawatt-hours (MWh) in 2017 to a mammoth 12.5 gigawatts (GW)/32.1 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2024.
Vestas Leads Record-Breaking First-Quarter Wind Turbine Order Intake
Global wind turbine order intake increased by 7% in the first quarter of 2019, eclipsing the previous record set a year earlier by 875 megawatts (MW), according to Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables.
Asia Pacific Installed 25 Gigawatts Of Onshore Wind In 2018
The Asia Pacific region installed a total of 24.9 gigawatts (GW) of onshore wind in 2018, according to figures released Tuesday by the Global Wind Energy Council, bringing the region’s cumulative capacity up to an impressive 256 GW.
Asia Pacific To See 355 Gigawatts Of Solar & Offshore Wind Boom In Next 5…
The Asia Pacific region is expected to add a further 355 gigawatts (GW) of new solar PV capacity over the next five years, despite expectations that the sector will see a decline in installations this year, while the region’s offshore wind industry is predicted to grow 20-fold over the next decade.
Asia Pacific Annual Wind Capacity To Climb Over 12 Gigawatts By 2022
Annual wind capacity additions in the Asia Pacific region (excluding China) are expected to reach 12.1 gigawatts (GW) by 2022 according to new research from MAKE Consulting, more than double the capacity added by the end of 2017 of 5.5 GW.
Installed Energy Storage For Microgrids Through 2026 Worth Over $22 Billion
The installed capacity of energy storage for microgrids is expected to increase dramatically over the next decade, with nearly 15 gigawatts of new cumulative capacity and revenue worth $22.3 billion, according to a new report from Navigant Research.
Climate Change Will Bring “Devastating Consequences” To Asia Pacific
Unmitigated climate change as predicted for a world where we do not keep warming below 1.5°C to 2°C will bring “devastating consequences” to the Asia Pacific region, hamper future growth, reverse development gains, and degrade quality of life for millions.
Global Wind Turbine Installations Exceed 54 Gigawatts, Confirms Navigant
A new report published this week by Navigant Research has revealed that Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas again led the way in 2016 for total wind turbine installations, in a year which saw a total of over 54 gigawatts of new wind installed worldwide.
