Green energy discharges reach historic highs and are now equivalent to all Spanish photovoltaic production in three months European electricity networks cannot cope. The huge amount of new renewable power to meet ambitious decarbonization goals is putting stale electricity transmission systems in a difficult position. Transportation, through electrical networks that are clearly insufficient, needs modernization … Continue reading Curtailment: Europe throws 4,260 million of wind power and photovoltaic energy through the grid

Analysis of clean technologies: solar photovoltaic, wind energy, batteries, electrolyzers and heat pumps
For every nation, clean technology manufacturing can bring economic security, employment, and resilience to clean energy transitions, says the IEA. The sector is now so significant that it’s also impacting overall GDP performance: in 2023, clean technology manufacturing alone accounted for around 4% of global GDP growth and nearly 10% of global investment growth. Here, … Continue reading Analysis of clean technologies: solar photovoltaic, wind energy, batteries, electrolyzers and heat pumps

EIA is changing how it accounts for primary energy consumption of electricity generation from solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is changing its methodology for calculating primary energy consumption of electricity generation from noncombustible renewable energy sources—solar, wind, hydroelectric power, and geothermal. When EIA publishes its Monthly Energy Review on September 26, it will use a methodology known as the captured energy approach to calculate renewable energy consumption for … Continue reading EIA is changing how it accounts for primary energy consumption of electricity generation from solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal

What is wind?
Wind is somewhat of a mystery. We can’t see it, but can feel it. So what exactly is wind? Wind is the movement of large amounts of air. Even though we can’t see air, we know that it is made up of molecules of different kinds of gasses, mostly nitrogen and oxygen. When lots … Continue reading What is wind?
