  June 27, 2008 Lanco Group to foray into wind energy business BL reported that Lanco Group has firmed up its plans to foray into wind energy with an initial investment of nearly INR 500 crore. It is planning ... to set up a wind turbine manufacturing unit in Puducherry and has also set its eyes to establish wind farms in India, the US and Europe. Mr L Madhusudhana Rao chairman of Lanco Group said that the technology aspects would be worked out in technical collaboration from German companies. The group is targeting a commercial launch of wind energy by September 2009. He added that "Our target is to establish a total of 1,000 MW installed capacity. The group is also exploring options in solar and nuclear energy fields. It has a presence in the hydro power sector, in which it is implementing 5 projects with capacity of 742 MW, two of them have been registered as clean development mechanism projects with the Geneva based United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. These two project   [More...] [Less...]

Turkey is set to double the amount of its electricity supplied by wind power with the construction of the biggest wind farm to date. The wind farm in southeast Turkey will have an installed capacity of 135 megawatts (MW) when it is completed in 2009. "We have terrific geographic conditions for solar and wind power in Turkey. Exploiting it is already economically and technically possible, but the problem is that the government favors fossil fuels and nuclear energy." -- Tanay Sdk Uyar, Vice President, World Wind Energy Association General Electric (GE) Energy will be supplying 52 of its latest generation of turbines with a capacity of 2.5 MW each. "Turkey is a fast growing and very interesting market for the wind business of GE," Frank Hoersting, Communications Lea   [More...] [Less...]

  Winds of change blowing through Australian energy policy 

  http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,22389316-23850,00.html

  AUSTRALIA is in the middle of a revolution in energy policy driven by the threat of dangerous climate change. Whatever the outcome of the looming federal election, Australia will have a national emissions ... trading scheme operating from around 2011, based on economic analysis to be completed next year. But it is generally agreed that trading alone will not be enough to deliver the deep cuts in greenhouse gases required both here and overseas. Along with the debate over privatisation of government-owned energy generation and retail assets, the next big climate change policy debate confronting Australia will be about shaping a comprehensive industry strategy for energy. The stakes are high. Energy users have already forecast that up to $75 billion of new-generation infrastructure will be needed by 2030 to achieve emissions cuts and increase supply to sustain economic growth. Business accepts the change, but wants it at the lowest possible cost and has started to weigh in to the debate.   [More...] [Less...]

  Power Engineering - Texas to sell offshore wind leases 

  http://pepei.pennnet.com/display_article/305980/6/ARTCL/none/none/Texas-to-sell-offshore-wind-leases/

  Texas to sell offshore wind leases Texas, the top producer of wind power among U.S. states, will hold the nation's first competitive sale of leases for offshore wind-power facilities. The state is seeking ... bids for four offshore tracts with a combined 73,098 acres, the Texas General Land Office said. Texas overtook California as the top wind-power producing state last year, with wind turbines capable of generating 2,768 MW installed as of the end of 2006, according to the American Wind Energy Association.   [More...] [Less...]

  EIA Renewable Energy-€ Renewable Energy Consumption and Electricity Preliminary 2006 Statistics” 

  http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/solar.renewables/page/prelim_trends/rea_prereport.html

  Overview Preliminary data indicates that total renewable energy consumption increased 7 percent between 2005 and 2006 (Table 1). In contrast, total U.S. energy consumption declined 1 percent, mainly due ... to decreased consumption of fossil fuels (including decreased natural gas consumption in the residential sector and decreased coal and petroleum consumption in the electric power sector). [1] Renewable energy s market share stood at almost 7 percent in 2006, slightly greater than for 2005 (Table 1 and Figure 1). Total renewable consumption stood at 6.844 quadrillion Btu. Consistent with historical patterns, the electric power sector consumed the majority (56 percent) of renewable energy (Table 2). The industrial sector consumed 28 percent, with the transportation and commercial sectors using the remainder. Hydroelectric conventional power had the largest absolute year-to-year change at 186 trillion Btu, but this represented only a 7 percent increase, while biofuels [2] consumption inc   [More...] [Less...]
