The China Power Investment Corporation (CPIC) recently obtained a 40,000-kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) solar power generator project in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

London-based BP Plc, an international oil giant and Europe’s second-largest company, will shut its solar power unit and qit the business entirely after 40 years because it’s become unprofitable.

Backing Recurrent marked Google’s first time investing in large scale solar photovoltaic power plants that generate energy for the US electric grid instead of on individual rooftops, according to Martinez.

The cost of generating Concentrated Solar Power electricity can be reduced by up to 30 percent by 2015 and even by more than 50 percent by 2025.

The U.S. Department of the Interior issued its final approval of the Tule Wind Power Project when Secretary Ken Salazar signed the Record of Decision on the Environmental Impact Statement.

The wind energy farm, 100% owned by Acciona, is located in the municipality of Golice (Lubuskie province) in the west of the country, and consists of nineteen 2 MW wind turbines.

We Energies’ Glacier Hills Wind Power, now the largest wind farm in Wisconsin, was placed into commercial service today with 90 wind turbines.

Salazar also said he will push for offshore wind power projects in the Atlantic Ocean.

Rockland Wind Farm in Power County, Idaho, is a JV between Ridgeline Energy and Diamond Generating Corp. Consisting of 44 Vestas V100 – 1.815 MW wind turbines, the project will provide wind power for Idaho Power.

The Community Wind power project was started by Saint Francis University’s Renewable Energy Center. The university installed a meteorological tower in Patton and Ebensburg and found that was suitable for wind turbines.

The Gemasolar concentrating solar thermal power plant has been operational since June and has already delivered its first uninterrupted 24 hours of electricity.

Thermal Energy Storage in CSP Plants Could Boost Penetration of Solar Energy, Wind Energy. Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants with thermal energy storage (TES) can dispatch power even during periods of high demand.

A new analysis from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory explores how the value of Concentrated Solar Thermal Power increases with a higher penetration of solar on the grid.

Despite the fact that electricity costs are rising across the U.S., there is a widely held perception that adding wind turbines and photovoltaic solar power generating capacity results in undue costs to ratepayers.

We believe the world needs a wide range of solutions?from wind energy, to transmission, to PV solar energy and concentrated solar power.

The largest contract value in wind power was R$109.40/MWh, Ventos do Sertão, located in Bahia, which sold 2,226,564 MWh.
