The UK has had something of a rocky relationship with new nuclear in the past few years, but developments in January 2019 pushed it firmly into ‘it’s complicated’ territory, and sent the country scrambling for alternatives.Horizon Nuclear Power, the Hitachi division response for the development of a new nuclear power station at Wylfa in Wales,
For businesses operating complex supply chains and delivering vital services, maintaining a stable and dependable level of power is paramount when it comes to energy storage
Renewables will be the world’s principal source of power by 2040 and are penetrating world grids faster than any other energy source in history, O&G major BP has said.BP today published its outdated Energy Outlook for 2019, revising upwards its forecasts for the penetration of renewables out to 2040.Its Outlook, which establishes four potential scenarios
Solar is to help renewables become the “dominant force” of Great Britain’s energy mix by as early as next year, a new report has found.Energy monitoring firm EnAppSys has said that renewables looks set to become the most prolific source of power in the 2020 calendar year.
A firm generating electricity from wind farms off the Whitstable and Herne Bay coast will install 12 electric vehicle (EV) charging points across the district after winning a contract from Canterbury City Council. Swedish company Vattenfall, which operates the Kentish Flats and Kentish Flats Extension wind farms, agreed a deal with the council in December.
Renewables provided almost one-third of the UK’s total power output in Q3 2018, a record high for that period of the year, boosted by the summer’s heatwave and high wind speeds.That performance also lifted the total share of power from low carbon sources to 56%, another record high for Q3, however this was also aided
Australia’s leading scientific research group and the country’s energy market operator have released a benchmark study that shows the cost of new wind and solar – even with hours of storage – is “unequivocally” lower than the cost of new coal generation.The joint study – GenCost 2018 – by the CSIRO and AEMO shows that
Vattenfall is to install its maiden electric vehicle charging stations in the UK after clinching an agreement with contracting firm BMM Energy Solutions and South Norfolk Council.And those charge points are to be powered entirely by renewables, using electricity generated by Vattenfall’s fleet of UK wind farm firms.
GENERAL Electric (GE), the American multinational conglomerate, is close to completing the world’s first commercial wind project with integrated power storage.
falling technology costs have pushed the cost of the renewable energy sectors below coal and gas, even in China and India, where until recently, coal was king. as electric vehicle manufacturing scales up to match and eventually supersede production of internal combustion vehicles, battery costs are set to drop another two thirds by 2030 Onshore
