Capricorn Investment Group (CIG) reached out to CleanTechnica with a request to re-publish their open letter to the new CEO of GE, Mr. Lawrence Culp. The letter urges the company to aggressively invest its resources into clean technologies.
GE Renewable Energy announced on Tuesday that it has now installed more than 60 gigawatts worth of onshore wind energy capacity across the globe, made up of over 35,000 wind turbines in 36 countries.
GE Renewable Energy announced last week that it had been selected to provide nearly 200 megawatts of wind turbines to the Qiansongba and Senjitu III wind projects in the Hebei province in China.
Global prospects for wind power are rising despite disappointing 2013 numbers, say analysts at Navigant Research. Although the wind industry worldwide added 36,134 MW in 2013, for the first time in nearly a decade, new installed wind power fell below that of the year before. The graph below indicates a 20% … [continued]
America’s wind energy industry may be coming off a record-setting 2012 but could potentially soar even higher – if federal policy uncertainty is resolved in time to help overcome the natural gas boom and fast-closing state renewable energy targets.
This outlook from the US Department of Energy’s “2012 Wind Technologies Market Report,” underlines how important stable government policy is to growing a clean energy economy and reveals the economic potential of a future powered by wind energy.
US-based GE Wind topped the list as 2012’s top wind turbine manufacturer, according to a new report. According to preliminary data from B&M Navigant’s World Market Update 2012, GE leapfrogged past second place Danish company Vestas, largely on the mad dash to complete projects (helping GE Capture 15% of the global market … [continued]
Since GE is a world leader in wind turbines and wind project investment, I thought I’d follow up on that GE data visualization I wrote about on Tuesday by digging into the annual reports app. I was interested in exploring GE’s role in wind power in the “early days” of this still rather … [continued]
GE is one of the largest companies in the world. It’s the sixth largest corporation in the U.S. and, as Chris Varrone noted last year, it has its hands in nearly every energy sector (perhaps every energy sector) and numerous non-energy sectors, as well. Now, the good news is … [continued]
General Electric (GE) Thursday announced it had signed an agreement with Newcom LLC to provide Mongolia with the technology and supplies to build its very first wind farm.
The $100 million project will be situated some 70 kilometres southeast of Mongolia’s capital city, Ulaanbaatar, and is set to finish construction and open sometime in 2012.
Paul Browning, Vice President at General Electric, came out this past week saying that a move to natural gas and renewable energy will be the global long-term trend.
At one level, this is a rather uncontroversial statement. The major options for electricity generation include coal, natural gas, nuclear and renewable energy options like wind, solar, hydro and biomass.
