Spanish manufacturer Gamesa’s new 2.5MW turbine prototype has started generating power.

The US is investing $55 million (£34.65m) in combined heat and power (CHP) and biomass projects.

The DDFlyTrain research project, conducted by Ricardo, Artemis Intelligent Power (a group company of Mitsubishi Heavy) and Bombardier Transportation, (earlier post) has projects a fuel savings of around 10% based on the use of high speed flywheel brake recovery technology retrofitted to Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) rolling stock. This order of saving means that the technology has a potential return on investment (ROI) of inside five years.

A Viet Nam Business Forum (VBF)'s report revealed that FDI companies have not been worrying about increasing power prices as much as about unstable supply. The Government can increase the electricity tariff of enterprises that consume more power while ensuring adequate supply.

Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai agreed to implement the project to supply electricity to 22,617 ethnic households in the northern mountainous Son La Province.

Ninh Thuan Provincial People's Committee has just issued a written request to the Ministry of Industry and Trade to propose Wind Power Project, namely LandVille in Ninh Thuan (Hanbaram), as an additional item in wind power development planning for Ninh Thuan toward 2020, with Vision to 2030.

Researchers at Columbia University are working on an energy source that may alway be destined for the small scale, but it could prove to be incredibly reliable: water vapor.

Good design can make people healthier and nowhere is that more true than in hospital design.

The Powerhouse Kjørbo in Oslo, Norway was nominated in 2014 for the Norwegian Technology Award for its outstanding energy performance.

Mitsubishi Electric has completed installing a 6.2MW solar power plant in northern Japan.

The first utility-scale solar power plant in East Africa is now open in Rwanda. Built in the shape of the African continent, the solar farm is expected to generate enough power to supply 15,000 homes and boost Rwanda’s electricity generation capacity by 6%.

Tòa nhà Powerhouse Kjørbo ở thủ đô Oslo, Na Uy đã được đề cử “Giải thưởng Công nghệ Na Uy” nhờ những thành công trong việc nâng cao hiệu quả năng lượng.

The performance change of the facility for the first 8 months of 2012 following the implementation of the management system. This has yielded an average 1% on the power consumption when compared to the baseline year of 2011.

The Netherlands is to produce its first commercial tidal energy by placing five turbines between the pillars of the Oosterschelde storm barrier in Zeeland. The tidal turbines will produce enough energy each year to power 1,000 homes, broadcaster Nos says.

The technology is called "combined heat and power" because after the electricity is generated by the system, the waste heat is used in the building. Aquatic centres are ideal locations to install these systems as pools and hot tubs require heating year-round.

Three energy efficiency and renewable energy projects from Spain, the UK and Austria have won the prestigious EU Sustainable Energy Europe Awards for their innovative, consumer-empowering ideas.

ABB has won a solar order worth $20 million (£12.6m) in Dubai. It will extend the substation at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar park, which will integrate more solar energy into the grid.

A 288MW wind farm in the Baltic Sea has generated its first power which has been fed to the grid.

Two “mega” floating solar power plants have been completed in Japan.

Waste management company Veolia has won a €350 million (£224m) contract to operate a biomass power plant in Ireland.
