By Simon Evans In the third quarter of 2019, the UK’s windfarms, solar panels, biomass and hydro plants generated more electricity than the combined output from power stations fired by coal, oil and gas, Carbon Brief analysis reveals. During the three months of July, August and September, renewables generated an estimated total of 29.5 terawatt…
Renewables will soon provide the largest share of the UK’s electricity generation mix, according to official figures, with the growth in wind — lately in offshore — driving the sector to a tipping point. Read Full Article Here For more great articles: Wind Power News & Analysis RSS Feed
By National Wind Watch It is too often assumed that making maximum use of renewables is the answer to addressing environmental goals. So easy is it to buy into this assumption that intermittent wind power is pulling ahead of coal in Texas. Energy analysts forecast that wind turbines in Texas will generate about 87,000 megawatt-hours…
By National Wind Watch Less than a year after the U.S. wind industry swore off federal tax credits, its top lobbyist wants another go at the incentive that helped it become the cheapest source of new energy in much of the world. The tax credits are now needed for the industry to maintain its cost…
