The 5th World Future Energy summit, which was closed Thursday in Abu Dhabi, does not only show “usual” renewable energy solutions like wind energy and solar energy.

The state-owned energy company had fought for six years to build the 176 wiind turbines project Hayes wind farm.

The 207 MW wind power plant is being developed by Wind Energy Holding Co. Ltd, in the hillside area of Korat Province in central Thailand, 150km north of Bangkok. It will comprise ninety 2.3 MW wind turbines.

Suzlon Energy Ltd has entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Government of Andhra Pradesh for the development of 3 GW of wind farm capacity in the state between 2012 and 2016.

The European offshore wind turbines industry had a strong year in 2011, with nine new offshore wind farm plants added to the grid, the European Wind Energy Association announced.

enXco, the US subsidiary of EDF Energies Nouvelles, has signed an agreement with Cielo Wind Power, a developer and operator of wind turbines plants, to acquire the 161 MW Spinning Spur Wind farm in Texas.

The 2500 GW to be generated are part of the Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Energy facility, a 2012 energetic priority for the US Interior Department.

U.S. Sen. Max Baucus says a global wind energy company headquartered in China (Goldwind) plans to build a 20-megawatt wind farm in central Montana.

Wind energy developer Wind Capital Group announced that it has closed on international financing for its $350-million, 201-megawatt capacity Post Rock Wind Turbines Project

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), Photovoltaic Solar Energgy (PV), Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV), and O&M. Hundreds of industry insiders will decide the future of solar in the US during the event.

“We expect to start soon on other concentrated solar power (CSP) projects in different countries located in what is referred to as the sun-belt region.”

This endorsement of an extension for wind energy’s key Production Tax Credit (PTC) is yet another indication of how vital wind power has become as a source of American jobs.

Latest video segment highlights how wind power, PTC drive construction business.

Robert Bryce, serial attacker of wind power, had another column in his lengthy series in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal.

AWEA is the national trade association of America’s wind power industry, with more than 2,500 member companies, including global leaders in wind power and wind farm development.

First Wind has received approval for its proposed 150 MW Oakfield Wind power project in Maine. The wind farm will consist of 50 3.0 MW wind turbines.

SolarGIS iMaps provides the best position for a prospective photovoltaic solar energy, concentrated photovoltaic or concentrating solar thermal power project.

With these 18 wind power projects completed, total offshore wind farm capacity in Europe would reach 9 GW. Furthermore, EWEA has identified 18 GW of fully consented wind energy projects in 12 European countries.

A total of 1,371 offshore wind turbines are now installed and grid connected in European waters totalling 3,812.6 MW spread across 53 wind farms in 10 countries.
