Wind energy is an integral part of the state‘s electricity portfolio. Most of California’s wind turbines are located in these six regions: East San Diego County, Altamont, Solano, Pacheco, Tehachapi and San Gorgonio. 1) Google LLC (California, US) Based in Mountain View, California, the well-known internet search giant Google LLC is a US multinational technology […]
Similar to several European countries, France aims to accelerate their solar growth to reduce their reliance on imported natural resources. By 2050, France aims to increase the current solar production by tenfold, thus exceeding 100GW. In February 2022, president Macron acknowledged that France has “fallen behind” and aims to increase output through rooftop and ground […]
Texas as the national leader in the wind energy industry produces more wind power than any other state in the US. In Texas, there are over 150 wind farms with a combined capacity of over 30,000MW. According to the American Wind Energy Association in 2019, the installed wind capacity in Texas even surpasses the installed […]
Floating PV projects have become increasingly popular as floating solar parks result in a decreased requirement for valuable land as well as the potential to link projects to reservoirs used for hydro. Floating solar projects are on the rise in the UK, Germany, Greece, and Portugal with RWE, BayWa, and EDP leading the charge in […]
In May 2022, the Esbjerg Declaration was established by the President of the European Commission Ursula Von der Leyen, the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and the Prime Ministers of Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The declaration outlines the strategy for the countries to work in harmony with one another to co-develop 150GW of offshore wind […]
As the 15th windiest state in the United States, the wind resource is able to provide at least half of the needs of New York‘s electricity. New York as a renewables-supportive state is a leader in the transition to a greener energy future. The first wind farms in New York came online in 2000 with […]
In 2018, California ranked first in the United States for solar power generation. In recent years, California’s electricity generation from solar power has increased substantially. Renewable energy, including solar panels on building rooftops, has more than tripled in the state since 2005. Known as the “Golden State“ with high sun exposure, solar is an especially […]
France plans to undergo a monumental surge in renewable energy production through solar and wind energy, as outlined by French President Emmanuel Macron in February 2022. The plan is spear headed by a 40GW target through 50 offshore wind farms. This represents a substantial increase compared to the initial 8.75GW by 2028 target outlined in […]
In May 2022, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store announced the ambitious plans for Norway to become one of the leading global producers of wind energy. Norway aims to construct 30GW of offshore wind by 2040, with licensing rounds for sites due to be released starting from 2025. This increase will nearly double the country’s […]
Sweden has experienced substantial growth in the development of wind energy in recent years. According to the Swedish Wind Energy Association, wind accounts for 20% of Sweden’s electricity with a current installed capacity of 12.8GW. This is predicted to grow to 17GW by 2024 thanks to the Electricity Certificate System which was formed to accelerate […]
