Danskammer Energy, LLC, plans to retire equipment and repower its existing facility in New York with state-of-the-art technology. As New York moves toward renewables, it will need more quick-start plants like an upgraded Danskammer to fill in the gaps in wind and solar production.

The Douglas County Public Utility District in Washington State is building a 5-MW pilot renewable hydrogen production facility near Baker Flats, East Wenatchee to provide flexibility to operations at its 774.3-MW Wells Hydroelectric Project. At a recent conference organised by Global Transmission, with support from REGlobal, Gary Ivory from Douglas County PUD presented a case study of the project, highlighting key features of the project.

After the 2020 recession, the MENA region is expected to witness a delicate rebound in 2021, driven in most countries by commodity prices and exports. After a regionwide average of 3.4% contraction in 2020 – excluding Egypt’s notable 3.6% GDP growth – the region’s economic growth is estimated to rise to 4% in 2021 and 3.7% in 2022.

According to S&P Global Ratings latest analysis, high dependence on fossil fuels (above 60% of the generation mix) and growing demand will keep coal relevant in Asia Pacific markets such as China and India for the next one to three decades. China may underpromise and over-deliver on renewables targets; India may over-promise and under-deliver. Further, renewables will continue to increase their share rising to over 40% of generation mix by 2040. 2030 seems to be the key inflection point, when most markets will stop adding new coal plants.

At a recent conference on Solar Power in Africa, organised by REGlobal, Terje Osmundsen, CEO, Empower New Energy presented a case study of a hybrid solar power project at one of the largest poultry farms in Nigeria. Check out his presentation to learn about the hybrid solution deployed at the solar power project.

Solar PV contribution to Africa’s national energy mix will increase. But large PV plants often underperform relative to predicted electricity generation and under performance has a significant impact on financial returns. Not all modules/systems perform well over time. Given that the PV industry is relatively new in South Africa, and focus on quality is lagging compared to more developed markets, how can we contribute to long term reliability of PV plants to ensure security of supply and reduce the investment risk?

As car manufacturers continue to increase their electric vehicle offerings, there is a growing need for innovative strategies to provide sustainable electricity sources to power those vehicles. One of the emerging strategies in to install a solar-powered charging station that will enable a sustainable fuel source for transportation needs.

The uptake of renewable energy in Algeria since 2011 has been very slow despite of a lot of talk. There has been just under 400 MW of capacity installed. Check out the presentation by Adel Baba-Aissa, Director, Renewable Energy Partner made at our conference on Solar Power in Africa.

In 2020, clean energy infrastructure outpaced other income-oriented equities, gaining traction with investors as the world increased its focus on renewable energy. Goldman Sachs believes that renewable energy sources are expected to overtake crude oil and other liquids as the single largest energy source by 2050.

The mobility industry has been responding to a global demand for higher sustainability for many years. The electric vehicle (EV) is one answer. The acceleration toward EV production is shaking up the automotive industry in ways no one could have predicted. How manufacturers respond could mark an industry revolution not seen in decades.

Check out the presentations from EBC’s Eighth Annual New England Offshore Wind Conference – 2020 Decisions and Outlook for Permits, Procurements, and Ports.

NREL recently released its solar PV market update report for nine-months ended September 2020. Read the key highlights of the reports.

Renewables Consulting Group (RCG) recently commissioned a report for Norwegian Energy Partners on Global Offshore Wind: Annual Market Report. It highlights the new emerging regions and markets for offshore wind, cost trends and emerging industry structure among other trends.

Sevi Gultes, Application Engineer – Maxeon Solar Technologies, SunPower recently presented the technology options to maximize returns of large-scale solar installations.

A joint webinar by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) in Malaysia discussed transitioning electricity consumers to prosumers. The event took place in the view of an increasing decentralised power system, innovative technologies, regulations and business models lead to higher share of renewables in power systems.

The global electric-vehicle (EV) industry is expanding rapidly. The regional output differs, with some EV markets reaching near-mainstream status, while others remain neutrally stuck. However, the Global EV sales are getting big enough to create substantial profit pools for well-positioned suppliers and other upstream players. Bloomberg’s report presents the analytical depiction of the global EV, HEV and PHEV market analysis along with the current trends and future estimations to depict imminent investment pockets.
