Norwegian gas system operator Gassco and Canadian energy firm Enbridge are working on reviving a 350 megawatt (MW) offshore wind project to boost power supply security at Norway’s Nyhamna gas Continue Reading
Thanks to falling costs, unsubsidized onshore wind and solar have become the cheapest sources of electricity generation in nearly all major economies in the world, including India and China, according Continue Reading
A new study out of Minnesota found that 70 percent of the state’s electricity could come from wind and solar energy by 2050 — and it would cost about the Continue Reading
A spinning turbine that can capture wind traveling in any direction and could transform how consumers generate electricity in cities has won its inventors a prestigious international award and ~$38,000 Continue Reading
Orsted, the largest energy company in Denmark, which aims to become a global leader in offshore wind energy, has closed two transactions within the past four months as part of Continue Reading
The cost of new wind and solar power generation has fallen below the cost of running existing coal-fired plants in many parts of the US, threatening to wreck President Donald Continue Reading
Now this is worth knowing about. Simulations have shown that spinning turbine blades of offshore wind farms can actually slow the wind speeds of a hurricane. Imagine all those people Continue Reading
Highlights Summary We find that generating today’s US electricity demand (0.5 TW e ) with wind power would warm Continental US surface temperatures by 0.24°C. Warming arises, in part, from Continue Reading
All large-scale energy systems have environmental impacts, and the ability to compare the impacts of renewable energy sources is an important step in planning a future without coal or gas Continue Reading
