The general chair of the World Council for Renewable Energy has suggested that the Government have policies that reward producers of electricity from wind and other natural resources, and encourage making the most of resources available in the country.

Vietnamese enterprises support the Government’s move to invest in renewable and alternative energy and they accept high energy costs in the short-term to lessen the nation’s dependence on mineral oil and its aim to have a long-term stable price.

The US Army has announced that it has formed a new Energy Initiatives Task Force that will assess renewable energy projects, vet potential suppliers and develop new technologies to support the Army's growing commitment to powering its bases and its missions with renewable energy.

Modern technologies, adequate Government incentives and reasonable production costs would help facilitate the development of renewable energy in Viet Nam.

Protectionism in the renewable energy industry takes many forms depending on location and sector. For example, in the U.S., Ohio is stringently enforcing a law that half of its mandated renewable energy must be supplied through in-state production.

Modern technologies, adequate Government incentives and reasonable production costs will help facilitate the development of renewable energy in Vietnam.

Các tập đoàn GMI Renewable Energy Group, Town Centre Securities (TCS) and Rex Procter & Partners tại Yorkshire đã thiết lập một trung tâm pin quang điện ở Anh. Hệ thống này được xây dựng trên mái nhà của bãi đỗ xe Clarence ở Leeds, dự kiến sẽ cung cấp khoảng 15% điện cho toàn bãi đỗ.

The workshop aimed to raise the awareness of sustainable development of the business community, especially in the energy sector of Vietnam.

Photovoltaic and solar-thermal plants may meet most of the world’s demand for electricity by 2060 -- and half of all energy needs -- with wind, hydropower and biomass plants supplying much of the remaining generation, Cedric Philibert, senior analyst in the renewable energy division at the Paris-based agency, said in an Aug. 26 phone interview.

The new iPower consortium comprising 32 partners has been officially opened on 22 August 2011 to begin the huge task of opening the door for incorporating more renewable energies into the upcoming power grids.

Tokyo City proper has again decided to incorporate recent energy-saving and renewable-energy technology, calling it’s latest report “Tokyo Specifications for Reduced and Renewable Energy.”

The Army is seeking to install more large-scale renewable energy installations, such as this solar system at Nellis Air Force base in Nevada.

Adobe Systems Inc. procured about 75 percent or 54 GWh of renewable energy-based electricity in 2010. Deutsche Bank and News Corp. procured 67 percent and 65 percent, respectively, of their electricity consumption from renewable energy sources while Starbucks and Nokia met 58 percent and 46 percent, respectively, of their energy consumption from renewable energy-based electricity.

Despite widespread rumors in North America that Germany was abandoning its system of Advanced Renewable Tariffs, the country's upper chamber of parliament, the Bundesrat, approved the latest revision of its pioneering Renewable Energy Sources Act on July 8.

The test cell exceeds the previous record of 16.7 percent for a solar cell made of cadmium-telluride set by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in 2001.

Wadebridge in Cornwall has moved another step towards becoming the first solar powered town in the UK, as PV installations begin to go up across the municipality. The area aims to generate at least a third of its electricity from solar and wind power by 2015, which is the equivalent of 15,000MWh a year. By generating renewable energy at this level, Wadebridge will be able to benefit significantly from the UK’s feed-in tariff, enabling significant cash contributions for local community projects.

Two months on from the natural disasters that ravaged Japan’s infrastructure and economy, its government has said it is determined to plough forward with efforts in the field of sustainable development through trilateral cooperation. The country has committed to promote the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency to reach sustainable growth in the country as it rebuilds itself, officials said in a statement on Sunday.

More evidence that clear, strong policies are key to renewable energy development came recently via the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). In a statement issued by the association, some statistics about wind energy growth in the country and the states that lead in wind energy development indicate that areas with strong policy are driving development at an impressive pace.

Leaked Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report predicts a 100 exajoule increase in renewable energy capacity. The United Nations is set to forecast substantial increases in the deployment of renewable energy through to 2050 as clean technologies such as wind and solar power improve and costs fall.

Key findings from an upcoming climate change report released by the United Nations are expected to show that cost reductions in the renewable energy sector are likely to continue through to 2050, boosting their deployment.
