The Development Bank of Japan and Japan Wind Development Co. will create the nation’s first fund for wind power, the companies announced.The companies aim to introduce the 50 billion yen ($423 million) joint fund .

While wind power generation is not a new concept, it is normally recognized by the need for a traditional windmill or wind turbine to be installed to harness the energy. However, a new type of generator has discovered a way to get energy from the wind without the need for a traditional machine.

Denmark is one such nation that is eying Iran’s renewable energy market.

Right now, the vast majority of the wind power generated on the planet comes from land-based turbines.

In order to boost the investment in wind power in countries of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Multilateral Trade Policy Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) in collaboration with APEC Secretariat held the “APEC Workshop on public-private partnership for wind energy development” on September 24-25, 2015.

In the implementation of energy development strategy, Ministry of Industry and Trade presided over the preparation of policies to support the development of renewable energy sources such as wind power, biomass power, electricity generated from solid wastes and solar power.

Wind Power Plant Project in Khai Long Beach has a total budget of over VND 70,000 billion with 150 wind turbine poles and designed capacity of 300MW, built on an area of ​​over 7,000 ha.

Swedish furniture giant IKEA, with its 350+ stores and 150,000 employees around the world, has been taking steps to be a better citizen of the Earth, including selling solar panels in some stores and making a big wind power investment near Chicago.

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.

On June 12, 2015, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Vietnam General Department of Energy and GIZ's energy unit signed an agreement to support the Project on up-scaling the wind power in Vietnam.

In its entirety, the Turkana wind power project is worth $700 million and will reportedly have a 310 megawatt capacity that will boost Kenya’s installed energy capacity by 20 percent.

Bac Lieu province with its 56km coastline is considered the best place of wind speeds in the country (averaged from 6.5 to 7.2 m/s, up to 10m/s in the peak month), with many main wind directions. Furthermore, along the coastal area of Bac Lieu there are uninhabited mudflats, very favorable for wind power development.

A windfarm in Scotland is set to provide the cheapest electricity ever produced by an offshore wind farm by using two recently launched technologies, developer Mainstream Renewable Power said.

Vestas has received an order for 365 V52-850 kW turbines for the 310 MW Lake Turkana Wind Power project in Kenya. The order is the largest in Vestas’ history in terms of number of wind turbines in a single project.

True or false: solar and wind power are freely available and clean, and thus should always be stored when they generate more energy than the grid can use?

Americans are increasingly installing wind turbines near their homes, farms and businesses to generate their own energy, concludes a new report released today.

Researchers at MIT have come up with a new design for a rechargeable flow battery that does away with the expensive and ineffective membrane of previous designs.

Poised halfway between the complexity of Makani and the simplicity of SkySails, the TwingTec TwingKite (or simply Twing, short for tethered wing) uses an advanced lightweight construction to generate energy from the wind.

From this tweet by the always excellent Energiewende Germany I learned about an article titled “Hydrogen plant starts storing wind energy in Germany“.
