The decarbonisation of energy sources requires additional investments in renewable technologies, including the installation of onshore and offshore wind farms. For wind energy to remain competitive, wind farms must continue to provide low-cost power even when covering larger areas. Inside very large wind farms, winds can decrease considerably from their …
Europe installed 12.5 GW of gross additional wind capacity in 2016. This was 3% less than the new installations in 2015. With a total installed capacity of 153.7 GW, wind energy now overtakes coal as the second largest form of power generation capacity in Europe. 2016 annual figures: 12.5 GW …
The Lake Turkana Wind Power Project (LTWP), currently under construction, will add 310 megawatts (MW) of wind power capacity to Kenya’s national grid. A new case study from the Low Emission Development Strategies Global Platform (LEDS GP) assesses the development benefits of the project and some of the measures the …
The Ministry approved Wind Data Sharing Policy proposed by National Institute of Wind Energy. The Wind Power development programme in India was initiated at the end of Sixth Five Year Plan, in 1983-84. In order to identify wind farmable sites in the country, the Government of India launched a national …
New investment in clean energy worldwide fell 18% last year to $287.5bn, despite a record year for offshore wind financings, according to the latest authoritative figures from research company Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The 2016 setback in global investment, signaled in advance by weak quarterly figures during the course of …
This Wind Solar Hybrid Power Policy-2017 aims to scale up installation of wind and solar hybrid power project in order to minimize the variability apart from optimally utilizing the infrastructure including land and transmission system and thus strengthening the energy security of the country.
Renewable power has seen a dramatic expansion in recent years thanks to sharply falling costs. But this growth has raised a new challenge for power-system operators and regulators: wind and solar PV have sometimes been deployed before the power system, including both policies and infrastructure, was ready to handle such …
