Gamesa is set to be awarded an EPC contract for Lesotho’s first wind energy facility, a 25-35MW project to be built at Letseng-La-Terai.

China will surpass Germany in offshore wind farm capacity investments by 2018, second only to the U.K., finds a recent report from MarketResearch.com.

Last year, the Nebraska Legislature passed LB 1048 to encourage the development, ownership and operation of renewable energy facilities for exporting wind power from Nebraska.

Aid to cut the price of gasoline, gas and coal rose by more than a third to $409 billion as global energy prices increases, compared with $66 billion of support for biofuels, wind power and solar power.

The 104 MW of power delivered from the 52 wind turbines in the total Mangue Seco wind farm installation cost 424 million reaials ($244 million).

The DOE Offshore Wind Initiative invests $43 million in 41 projects across 20 states over the next five years to speed technical innovations, lower costs, and shorten the timeline for deploying offshore wind energy systems

Solar power is perhaps one of the most expensive renewable energy technologies today, but developments are underway to make it cheaper and more economical.

Wind power supports 75,000 jobs today across the U.S. and the promise of 500,000 American jobs in manufacturing, construction, engineering, development and other fields less than 20 years from now.

On Oct. 29, the Charleston (W. Va.) Gazette carried a story concerning a large number of bird fatalities at a West Virginia wind farm. The following is a letter to the editor from American Wind Energy Association.

Although growth rates of new wind farm installations will fall short of the industry?s boom period, cumulative wind power capacity will grow steadily over the next six years.

In Spain, Iberdrola lash concentrated solar power, but in other countries do other things.

As of October, the installed solar power capacity in the country stood at at 125 MW. ?India may add 2,000 MW solar power to its total power generation by 2013.

The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) published a new report revealing that by 2020, the EU wind farm industry would avoid 342 million tonnes of CO2, equivalent to 31% of the EU’s target of reducing emissions.

The EU Commissioner for Climate Change emphasised the role of targets in boosting investments in renewable energy (solar power, wind energy) at an EWEA event last night.
