Spanish renewable energy giant Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has announced this week that it will supply 233 megawatts (MW) worth of wind turbines to eight wind farms across Spain, for a total of 70 turbines.
German wind turbine manufacturer Senvion has capped off a big August of announcements with a wind turbine supply and commissioning agreement worth 275 megawatts (MW) for the TG East Wind Project in Texas.
Europe installed a total of 6.1 GW worth of new wind energy capacity during the first half of 2017, according to new figures published this week by WindEurope, putting the region on course for a big year of new wind energy installations.
Spain’s energy ministry announced this week the full list of winners from its most recent renewables auction, which awarded a total of 5 gigawatts (GW) of capacity. The split ended up 4 GW for solar and over 1 GW for wind.
Spain’s first-ever offshore wind project is continuing its slow journey to completion, as Gamesa announced on Friday that it had begun shipping components for the 5 MW marine turbine from the port of Bilbao to Arinaga Quay in Gran Canaria where they will be assembled. The blades are the longest … [continued]
Wind power keeps growing fast, very fast. According to data just released by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), nearly 45 gigawatts (GW) of wind power capacity were added across the globe in 2012. That includes a record 12.6 GW of new capacity in the US, 5.3 GW of which … [continued]
Spain at last has its own renewable energy cooperative — Som Energia — founded in Girona in the country’s Catalonia region. The group gets involved in profitable renewable energy projects to supply green electricity to its members and partners. The Cooperative has just surpassed the 3,500 membership mark (October … [continued]
One of Gamesa’s G10X-4.5 MW wind turbines, located near Alaiz (Navarra, Spain), set a new output record for a wind turbine in Spain on July 1. “The turbine generated electricity for a total of 107.82 MWh (98.26% of the day at nominal capacity and 100% of availability).” The previous record … [continued]
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]
