Semprius, headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, develops high concentrating photovoltaic (HCPV) solar energy modules.

“We look forward to expanding our solar resume and delivering one of the world?s largest photovoltaic solar energy projects for LS Power.”

Wind Energy Holding Co. plans to add 270 megawatts of wind power plants in Thailand costing as much as $550 million, according to Bloomberg.

The U.S. DoE’s 20% Wind Energy by 2030 found that if wind farm provided 20% of America’s electricity, the space occupied by wind turbines would be half the size of the city of Anchorage.

MidAmerican Energy, owned by Warren Buffett, said this week that it will set up a new unregulated subsidiary to invest in wind power, solar power, geothermal energy and hydro projects.

The wind power deal includes procurement and installation of wind turbines. 37 MW wind farm to generate 100 GWh per year.

The 27 units of V100-1.8 MW wind turbines with a total capacity of 48.6 MW will be installed in the Long Ganhu wind farm in the Hubei province.

The total installed wind power capacity stood at 21,673 MW, 1,050 MW increase after 5.1% over the previous year. Less than 10% of the production of wind turbines is carried out in Spain is for domestic orders.

The one-megawatt system will be the largest urban solar power project for the Marshall Islands.

Using and regulating a solar power generating system with battery storage requires a power inverter and sophisticated energy-management technology.

Wind energy orders from India, Brazil and the US. The cumulative wind turbines orders are valued at approximately US$ 403 mn.

India’s wind power equipment major RRB Energy Ltd is looking for a business association with Chile for delivering wind turbines.

China is targeting the development of non-fossil energy including wind power, solar power, biomass energy and solar energy equivalent to 480 million metric tons (tonnes) of standard coal by the end of 2015.

The wind energy plant is expected two be in operation in two years, about the same time that the 300 MW Lake Turkana Wind Power, promoted by a consortium of local investors, is set to be completed.

The wind energy project comprises 48 S97-2.1 MW wind turbines. Wind farm to be set-up in Rajasthan by January 2013.

The field of solar power attracted the largest share of the investments (1.81 billion dollars), followed by energy efficiency (1.46 billion dollars).

Southwest Solar Technologies Inc. announced its development program for a concentrated solar power technology that will serve industrial needs for process heat and steam.

Sinovel, China’s largest wind energy maker, saw a 50-percent year-on-year decline in net profits attributable to parent company shareholders in 2011.

The wind power project, located in the Guishan waters of Zhuhai city, will be the first offshore wind turbines farm in the province.

However, it remains to be seen whether Congress will pass an extension to the current Production Tax Credit which is due to expire at the end of this year. The credit has been a major driver to wind energy in the US for seven years.
