Tunisian green energy startup Saphon Energy has created a new bladeless wind turbine which draws inspiration from the design of a ship’s sails, and promises to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity at up to double the efficiency – and half the cost – of a typical wind turbine.

An unexpected source of new, clean energy has been found: the Plant-Microbial Fuel Cell that can generate electricity from the natural interaction between living plant roots and soil bacteria.

The Vietnam Electricity Corporation (EVN) and Siemens Group have signed a five-year memorandum of understanding (MOU), marking a new development in cooperation between the two energy giants.

India’s largest photovoltaic solar power plant, located in the western state of Rajasthan, has started generating clean energy that will provide electricity to thousands of households and businesses in Mumbai.

US solar and wind developer Lincoln Renewable Energy announced Monday that it has entered into a 20-year power sales agreement with Southern California Edison (SCE) to deliver electricity sourced from two upcoming solar projects located in San Bernardino.

On 30th October, Da Nang Power Company Limited reviewed the program "Family saving power in 2012", which was implemented in 3 months from June to August.

Fuel cells, which convert fuel directly into electricity without burning it, promise a less polluted future where cars run on pure hydrogen and exhaust nothing but water vapor. But the catalysts that make them work are still "sluggish" and worse, expensive.

Before the solar power grid was completed, the New Zealand-administered grouping of three coral atolls, with a population of just 1,500, relied on diesel generators for electricity.

An Enphase microinverter Traditionally, photovoltaic arrays have been arranged in series of strings, with one or two centralized inverters changing the module’s DC electricity to AC electricity.

From a distance, a wind farm can seem almost placid, turbines turning slowly, steadily, churning out electricity. But there's more to it than meets the eye.

Located in the tropics, Vietnam still cannot take full advantage of its sun and wind resources to generate electricity. This has been attributed to the unreasonable mechanism which is unattractive to investors.

It may seem as though the German plains are all but tapped out when it comes to wind energy production. To refute this theory researchers are sending stunt kites into the skies to harness the wind and convert the kinetic energy generated into electricity.

London of late has been rolling in the electric car news. The goal in that major European city of lowering its carbon emissions from greener vehicles is well under way through efforts like brand new all-electric taxi fleets and increased electric vehicle usage at nearby Heathrow airport. Now comes word of free electric vehicle charging points being offered as part of a trial to better understand the impact of EV use on the electricity network.

The Trung Son Hydropower One-member Co., Ltd. under the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) concluded an Engineering-Procurement-Construction (EPC) contract on October 22 in Hanoi for Package W-MW-01 on construction of the Trung Son Hydropower Project under a joint venture between the Sam Sung C&T and Irrigation Construction Joint Stock Company 47.

The Trung Son Hydropower Co Ltd, a subsidiary of Electricity of Viet Nam (EVN), yesterday signed a deal worth close to VND3 trillion (US$150 million) with a joint venture company to build and equip the Trung Son Hydropower Plant.

After the campaign for electricity and energy saving programs in 2012 recently launched in Hanoi, about 100,000 typical households have adopted energy and money saving measures.

Positive electricity saving results last year has encouraged Vietnam to continue with a new target this year to save at least one percent of commercial electricity output, to reduce electricity/GDP elasticity coefficient, and to save 10 percent on electricity use in manufacture and 10 percent of consumer electricity from now to 2015.

South Africa has unveiled first solar power plant, situated at the environmentally friendly OR Tambo Precinct, produces about 200 kW of electricity through 860 PV (photovoltaic) solar panels on 2,500 m² of land.

In response to the National Energy Efficiency Program, Vinh Phuc Province aims to save at least 10 percent of their current annual electricity consumption.

Implementing plan number 32 of provincial People’s Committee, Thua Thien – Hue has recently set up an inter-industrial supervision team to examine and correct breaches of regulations on electricity supply, pricing and saving.
