Europe's installed wind power capacity has reached the landmark 100 gigawatt level even as doubts about the industry's future growth potential persist.

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.

If you’re interested in renewable energy, you’ve probably heard the term wind-solar hybrid before and wondered what that really meant. On the surface, its pretty straight forward; it’s a renewable energy system, generally small, designed to provide power for your home or small business.

Sunverge battery backup could help in situations like SandyWeeks after subtropical storm Sandy ravaged the northeast coast, the hundreds of thousands still without power were asking if solar could be a solution.

A week after sub tropical storm Sandy made landfall in New York, thousands are still without power in their Rockaway Beach neighborhood homes.

Austrian manufacturer MagnaSteyr has adapted technology developed for the Ariane rocket to build clean-burning cars that can use hydrogen instead of petrol for fuel.

"Viet Nam has huge potentials for green and renewable energy, including solar, wind, biomass and hydropower to replace traditional ones," said Nguyen Duc Cuong, head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT)'s Energy Institute's Renewable Energy and Clean Development Mechanisms Centre.

The world's largest offshore wind farm has delivered its first power to the grid, marking a major milestone for the flagship project in the Thames Estuary.

It doesn’t look like much. In fact, you could say Columbia Island is a concrete slab of an eyesore in the Long Island Sound off the coast of New Rochelle, N.Y. But soon it will be a 6,000-square-foot residence that’s off the grid and self-powered by solar and a solar storage system.

We’ve covered some of the innovations in green tech stemming from the University of Nottingham in recent years, particularly in the realm of wind power

Với vai trò tiên phong góp phần phát triển nguồn năng lượng tái tạo, Công ty TNHH một thành viên Năng lượng tái tạo Điện lực Dầu khí Việt Nam (PV Power RE) đã mạnh dạn đầu tư công trình phong điện trên đảo Phú Quý nhằm đưa tiềm năng gió dồi dào ở hòn đảo tiền tiêu của Tổ quốc thành sản phẩm điện phục vụ đời sống người dân.

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.

Solar power installations are well worth the investment, even in snowy climates, according to new research from Michigan Technological University. The albedo effect caused by white snow cover actually helps to increase solar panel efficiency (counter to what many of us might have thought).

Research shows newly developed solar powered cells may soon outperform conventional photovoltaic technology. Scientists from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have demonstrated the first solar cell with external quantum efficiency (EQE) exceeding 100 percent for photons with energies in the solar range. (The EQE is the percentage of photons that get converted into electrons within the device.)

A contract to construct the 260 MW Trung Son hydropower station, which is the first to be funded by the World Bank, was signed in Hanoi on October 22.

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.

A team of students at the HCM City University of Polytechnics has developed an automatic solar-powered drip irrigation system for grapefruit farms in the central Ninh Thuan Province.

The Ho Chi Minh Energy Conservation Center in collaboration with the Red Sun Energy JSC and the An Giang Industry Promotion and Development Consultancy Center recently donated solar powered lamps to some poor households living at My Thanh Village, My Hoa Hung Commune, Long Xuyen City, An Giang Province.

The 5th International Exhibition and Seminar on Nuclear Power will be held in Hanoi from October 25-27.

Bac Ninh Power Company, with its leading role, has coordinated with local offices, businesses and related units to carry out various energy saving measures such as propaganda, encouraging, pledging, etc to make energy saving a habit of local people.
