If you want a template for making renewable energy work in the here and now, look no further than the Scottish island of Eigg, which is powered almost completely by wind, solar, and hydro technology.
A coal mine in Germany will never produce coal again. Instead it is being converted into a pumped-storage hydroelectric reservoir. This means that it will be used to store excess energy from green sources like solar and wind.
A new, 50MW floating offshore wind farm just got approved.
The Fraunhofer Institute is working on a seabed-based pumped-storage structure. In an underwater “energy park,” spheres could be connected near an offshore wind farm to create a system that would be able to add extra reliability to a renewable-heavy grid.
Denmark met all of its power needs thanks to wind energy last Wednesday, according to trade organization WindEurope.
After solar cost reduction below Rs 3/unit, wind power cost down to Rs 3.46/ unit through transparent auction - a green future awaits India.
Newly added wind capacity in Europe totalled 12.5GW in 2016, a 3% drop on 2015, but becomes the region's second largest source of power generation.
The company behind the first offshore wind farm in North America won approval Wednesday from New York state to build the country’s biggest seaward turbines yet.
A unique biomimetic design could take wind power in a whole new direction, both for small-scale and large-scale renewable energy systems.
Aruba has pledged to transition to 100% renewable electricity by 2020 with particular emphasis on variable wind and solar for renewable energy.
Dutch railway company NS announced its entire electric train fleet is running on 100-percent wind power as of January 1, 2017, ushering in a new era of green transportation.
Sweden has generated more energy from wind power than it ever has before. Nearly 5.7 million kWh of wind power was generated as the country harvested the effects of "Storm Urd".
Norwegian oil and energy giant Statoil has spent the end of 2016 selling off its assets in Canadian tar sands, and securing rights to develop a gigantic offshore wind farm off the coast of New York State.
Sin City has become one of the few cities in the world that is powered entirely by sustainable energy sources.
The country’s first offshore wind project will produce enough electricity to power 17,000 average homes. It will provide all the island’s electricity needs, supplanting its old diesel generators and will also send electricity onto the mainland grid.
