Offshore wind has fast emerged as a vital component of Europe’s strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. In 2020, Europe added 2.9 GW of offshore capacity, which involved 356 new offshore wind turbines connected […]
The largest Middle Eastern country, Saudi Arabia, is ranked as the second major oil producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. The country, which is home to around 34.8 million people, holds 17 […]
Chile’s power sector has rapidly adapted to the various changes it has faced in the past. It was able to seamlessly transition from a hydro-heavy generation mix to a hydro-thermal mix. And now, it is […]
When it comes to channelling the carbon-neutral power of offshore wind, the US is far behind other industrialised nations such as China and Germany. So far, the US has only two operational offshore wind installations, […]
In response to the economic slowdown, most governments in the Asia-Pacific region have implemented economic recovery packages. Strategies have varied in different countries. Some have focused on livelihoods and healthcare while others have increased investment […]
Denmark, the country that built the world’s first offshore wind farm, is set to execute another ambitious plan for its next global first – an artificial island capable of handling 10 GW of offshore wind […]
The year 2020 ended on a promising note for the US energy sector. The Energy Act of 2020, which is a comprehensive update of the US federal energy policies over 13 years, was signed into […]
Africa has seen increasing uptake of solar, especially in the northern part of the continent. In fact, solar power is becoming a popular alternative to fossil fuel-based energy generation and it is supplementing hydropower in […]
The European Commission (EC) has been making a concerted effort to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. In line with this, it has adopted a proposal to revise the European Union (EU) rules […]
In 2020, Virginia became the seventh US state to set energy storage procurement goals for utilities. This was achieved with the passage of the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) by the General Assembly. The act […]
South Africa’s transmission infrastructure is obsolete and in urgent need of expansion. Grid facilities are currently unable to meet the country’s growing electricity demands, provide reliable power and further integrate new sustainable energy options. In […]
The year 2020 has been abuzz with news on several fronts. The Covid-19 pandemic and the recent US elections have left the global economy very stressed. Despite this, several positive developments have taken place, especially […]
The US offshore wind industry is witnessing large-scale deployment. As of end 2019, the US had a total of 30 MW of grid-connected offshore wind capacity. The north-eastern states have been driving strong demand for offshore […]
Singapore is a good example of a country in the process of charting its own path to a low-carbon future. The island nation is one of the world’s eight economies without energy resources. Thus, it […]
Renewable energy has established itself as a preferred source for meeting energy needs across countries. Having added an unprecedented 200 GW of renewable capacity through the year, the total renewable power capacity (including hydropower) stood […]
Tunisia, a north African country, is a lower-middle-income economy that was once a net exporter of oil and gas. Currently, 95 per cent of the country’s generated electricity is from oil- and gas-based resources, with […]
The state of New Jersey, located in the heart of the US East Coast wind belt, has set itself on the path of clean energy and is developing offshore wind energy to address the issue […]
Australia is leading energy transition globally, moving swiftly from conventional energy sources to renewable energy sources. In 2019, renewable energy accounted for 30 per cent of the country’s total installed capacity. With steady investments in […]
Over the past few years, China has stepped up its efforts to achieve clean energy transition. At present, renewable energy accounts for 21 per cent of the country’s electricity generation capacity, as compared to 8.8 per […]
The Republic of Ireland’s power sector is undergoing a sea change as the country accelerates the transition from an energy system heavily reliant on fossil fuels to one powered by renewables. To this end, in […]
