?We here at Blackstone remain committed to the offshore wind turbines industry in Europe,? said Klimczak, whose firm raised ?1.2 billion in financing for the 288-MW Meerwind wind farm project off Germany?s coast.

Wind energy is creating one of America?s fastest growing manufacturing sectors, providing 75,000 jobs in the U.S. currently and the promise of 500,000 jobs less than 20 years from now.

With fewer moving parts, gearless wind turbines are said to be ideal for the offshore wind farm, where it’s difficult and expensive to repair and maintain devices.

Alstom moved to capitalize on a booming Brazilian wind power market by inaugurating a new wind turbines manufacturing plant in northeastern Bahia state Wednesday, its first in Latin America.

Torresol Energy, were recognized with awards at the fifth annual CSP Today International Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Summit.

?I believe the UK will remain the world?s most attractive offshore wind turbines market for many years to come. We have abundant natural advantages and a world-leading marine engineering base.

Maxime Verhagen is Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs ? and so responsible for energy. In the latest Wind Directions, he explains why his government has cut spending on offshore wind energy.

In these tough times, the offshore wind energy industry?s massive supply chain offers immense opportunity for job creation all across Europe.

First up were five of offshore wind energy?s leading manufacturers ? Alstom, Nordex, Gamesa, Siemens and Vestas ? in the battle of the big wind turbines.

Gamesa, a global technology leader in wind power, has cemented its presence in China with the opening of its sixth manufacturing plant.

Of all renewable energy sources, solar power has the biggest potential in South Africa. That is because the host of the COP17 climate change conference in Durban has one of the highest solar radiation in the world.

During the last three years, electricity generated from wind energy and solar power projects in India is estimated at about 50.3 billion kilowatt hours

The coming decade will experience a 17-fold increase in offshore wind energy capacity across Europe, while concentrated solar power and marine energy should deliver similar growth rates.

BrightSource Energy is a leading concentrating solar thermal energy company. In California, it’s in the process of planning and building some of the largest concentrated solar thermal power plants in the world.

“A main requirement of feed-in tariffs is they be transparent and stable, to provide wind farm investors with the confidence required to risk their money in such wind turbines projects.”

EWEA kicked things off by releasing their latest analysis of all existing offshore wind farm projects in 17 EU member states.

It was Benjamin Franklin who first discovered electricity and ever since that time, we have harnessed its power to improve our daily lives.
