The French government has launched a 300MW solar tender in the Fessenheim area.The eponymous nuclear power plant is scheduled for closure in 2022. As part plans for the region’s economy, the state has committed €250 million to the project.The tender is divided into 200MW of ground-mounted solar, 75MW of large-scale rooftop installs with the final
Engineers and scientists at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Strathclyde say sandstone in the sea bed off the coast of the UK could be used to store high pressure compressed air.
Hitachi and Toshiba abandon plans for new British nuclear reactors
The variable nature of wind and solar power means storing energy is a huge part of the fight to mitigate climate change
Almost £2 million in new European funding is to support the development of a “new wave” of energy projects in the South West.Bristol City Council, in partnership with Devon and Plymouth councils, has secured a €1.9 million (£1.7 million) grant from the European Investment Bank and the European Commission to fund the deployment of new
For years, proponents of natural gas referred to it as a “bridge fuel,” an interim power source on the way to a distant future dominated by renewable energy.
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
Washington, D.C. city council passed a landmark bill on Tuesday that will see the city mandate a need for all energy on its electric grid to be generated from renewable sources by 2032.As a result of this new policy, the city will implement new incentives to spur the growth of renewable energy within the district,
A Wood Mackenzie report shows U.S. energy storage deployments tripling in capacity during Q3 ’18 versus last year’s volume, while noting that the future pipeline growth rate doubled versus prior quarters to reach 33 GW of future projects.
GENERAL Electric (GE), the American multinational conglomerate, is close to completing the world’s first commercial wind project with integrated power storage.
