Spain is one of the world‘s largest producers of wind energy with one of the largest installed wind capacities of over 27GW in 2020. This number shows enormous growth over the years: In 2006, the installed capacity was at only 11,416MW and has nearly tripled since then. In this article, we present our top three […]
Solar energy in the UK has been expanding rapidly since the 2010s. In 2021, the country’s total capacity from installed solar parks was at 13.GW. There are several solar investors in the UK that own a huge portfolio of solar PV assets. Three of the largest solar energy investors in the UK are the following. […]
The importance of the wind energy sector in the United Kingdom has been expanding for years and is continuing to do so: The generation of electricity from wind power has grown by 715% from 2009 to 2020. This has caused the country’s turnover from wind energy to be at almost £6 billion in 2019 which […]
Since 2019, the state of Alberta has experienced rapid growth in the renewable sector mainly thanks to corporate investment which has resulted in an increased installed capacity that has been estimated to produce enough electricity to supply 1.5m Canadian households. According to the Business Renewables Centre Canada, $3.7bn of renewable energy projects since 2019 resulting […]
Renewable energy in Ontario continues to rise, between 2005-2017 the state phased out coal plants and replaced them with solar, hydro, and wind projects. By doing so, the state was able to reduce greenhouse gas pollution arising from its electricity system by 93%. Hydro is estimated to be the largest producer of renewable energy in […]
In recent years Texas has cemented its position as the leading state for producing green energy with the majority of the energy produced by wind energy. According to Inside Climate News, Texas produced 136,538GWh of renewable energy from wind and solar projects which puts the state clearly ahead of the runner-up, Washington who produced 91,148GWh. […]
Renewable energy infrastructure continues to grow in California, partially due to the vast amount of sunlight the state receives annually. The state has recognized this potential and is beginning to realize it. In May 2022, the state produced enough clean energy to meet 103% of consumer demand in the area. Whilst this represents the progress […]
The state of Massachusetts has outlined clear climate change action goals that includes achieving net zero by 2050. In order to achieve this target, Governor Charlie Baker announced a renewable energy bill that details plans to develop 5.6GW of renewable energy infrastructure across the state by the year 2030. This bill is an addition to […]
In June 2022, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to develop 22 renewable energy projects which will help the state achieve its zero-emission target by 2040. The 22 projects will also help the state increase the installed solar capacity towards the targeted 10GW by 2030, an increase from their previous target of 6GW by […]
Over €1bn will be invested in French renewable projects over the next few years, as outlined by the French Government in April 2022. Once their investment is complete, the installed capacity of French renewable assets will increase 10-fold, reaching a 100GW capacity by 2050. Not only does France require Government tenders and large-scale public projects, […]
