#Wisconsin Sees Spike In Interest In Wind Energy Production

Wisconsin Sees Spike In Interest In Wind Energy Production MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin is seeing growing interest in wind energy as production costs decline and utilities look toward renewable energy. Michael Vickerman is policy director of clean energy nonprofit RENEW Wisconsin. Vickerman tells Wisconsin Public Radio that three wind projects are being considered in … Continue reading #Wisconsin Sees Spike In Interest In Wind Energy Production

Tripling Firm Solar, Wind Energy Output in #Texas by Capitalizing on “Complementarity”

Tripling Firm Solar, Wind Energy Output in Texas by Capitalizing on “Complementarity” Co-locating or integrating distributed solar and wind power resources to maximize their output and contributions to electricity transmission and distribution grids isn’t a new idea. Two researchers at Rice University in Houston modeled solar and wind power production at sites across Texas and … Continue reading Tripling Firm Solar, Wind Energy Output in #Texas by Capitalizing on “Complementarity”

There’s enough wind energy over the oceans to power human civilization, scientists say

There’s enough wind energy over the oceans to power human civilization, scientists say New research published on Monday finds there is so much wind energy potential over oceans that it could theoretically be used to generate “civilization scale power” — assuming, that is, that we are willing to cover enormous stretches of the sea with … Continue reading There’s enough wind energy over the oceans to power human civilization, scientists say

Falling Costs in Wind Energy Brings a Remarkable Impact Along With New Challenges

Falling Costs in Wind Energy Brings a Remarkable Impact Along With New Challenges Wind Energy is one of the great sources of electricity in this current era and is highly rational with zero utility executives. Currently, Wind Power is in highly competitive position and offering coming with a great reasonable price than other energy resources. … Continue reading Falling Costs in Wind Energy Brings a Remarkable Impact Along With New Challenges

Investors pour $1.5bn into #Australian solar and wind energy in Q2

Investors pour $1.5bn into Australian solar and wind energy in Q2 Australia has recorded a significant “bounce-back” in renewable energy investment in the second quarter of 2017, with $1.5 billion poured into big solar and wind projects from April to June, a 77 per cent year-on-year increase. The Australian up-tick in investment is one of … Continue reading Investors pour $1.5bn into #Australian solar and wind energy in Q2

#Nebraska Sails Past 1K Megawatts of Wind – Energy Capacity

Nebraska Sails Past 1K Megawatts of Wind-Energy Capacity LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — With the raising of a 400-megawatt wind farm in the state, Nebraska has sailed past 1,000 megawatts — or 1 gigawatt — of wind-generated capacity. Nebraska’s turbines provide over 1,300 megawatts of capacity with more on the way, looking to take advantage of … Continue reading #Nebraska Sails Past 1K Megawatts of Wind – Energy Capacity
