The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is considering financing wind power projects in Kazakhstan as the oil-rich Central Asian state begins a push to develop renewable energy resources.

Cyprus is attracting worldwide attention for a breakthrough research energy programme on a concentrated solar power (CSP) desalination plant.

Concentrated solar energy in Africa is being implemented. Already, there are concentrated solar power projects in Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, South Africa, Sudan and Uganda.

Torresol Energy, a joint venture between the companies SENER and MASDAR, was created for the purpose of becoming a leader in the concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) sector.

The new entity, REpower Australia, will offer both Suzlon and REpower wind turbines and EPC services.

Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ) is one of the world’s largest solar energy companies.

The Rawson wind power plant is situated nearly 1,000 miles south of the Argentinean capital Buenos Aires and currently has 27 Vestas built wind turbines with a 50 megawatt capacity.

The order is for 17 units of Suzlon’s S82 – 1.5 MW wind turbines for what would be GAIL’s third wind energy project with Suzlon.

?Having pioneered the offshore wind energy industry, Vestas has over the years gained extensive experience and knowledge which we continuously use actively in our research and development activities.”

Siemens Energy has installed its first 6 MW wind turbine as a prototype of the next generation offshore wind energy. Siemens believes the low weight will help reduce the cost of offshore wind power plants.

All models use lithium ion battery technology for easy charging (the same technology that powers your cell phone) and feature an ultra-efficient battery management system.

Those foundations, which will be among the largest monopiles ever used at an offshore wind farm.

Brownback’s summit came a day after BP announced plans to build Kansas’ biggest wind farm. Flat Ridge Wind Farm 2 will be the 14th, and the largest, wind farm by BP Wind Energy in the US.

Western Wind is a vertically integrated renewable energy production company that currently owns over 500 wind turbines and a solar power with 165 MW.

In Great Britain, MECASOLAR supplied 2.9MW in fixed structures for a project developed in Wales. Thee company has announced more deals in the British market to supply solar trackers for various PV solar energy projects.

The use of salt, rather than oil, to transfer the heat generated from the concentrated sunlight, allows Gemasolar to operate at temperatures of over 550 C, much higher than other concentrated solar energy plants.

Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) believes that the share of wind farm can increase from the current 250 MW (megawatts) – or 1 per cent of electricity demand – to 5,250 MW, or 17 per cent, by the year 2025.

A new book on the energy landscape by expert Daniel Yergin has some positive words about wind energy, calling it “one alternative that can deliver today.”

GE?s advanced 2.5-100 wind turbine technology is now powering Suncor Energy?s Kent Breeze Wind Power Project, a 20-megawatt wind farm located west of Thamesville, Ontario.

GE Committed to Growing Its Presence in Canada?s Active Wind Energy Industry.
