African countries are making some important strides toward a green energy sector. According to the Global Renewables Status 2009, Northern Africa boasts more than 500 MW of installed wind power, while Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania are all planning their first wind farms.
In the UK, 2010 got off to a superb start for the wind power industry. Crown Estate has announced the nine successful bidder consortia for Round 3 of the offshore wind farm licencing. As administrative body for Crown property, it is also the official agency for awarding offshore projects.
California - the top wind producer in the US since the 1980s lost its lead in 2008 in the face of intense competition from other states. But backed by strong financial and political support from the government, California's wind energy sector is slowly making a comeback.
In 1833, German engineer John Etzler had dreamt of generating power from high-altitude wind. The dream may come true, almost two centuries later. Hermann Plauson, an Estonian engineer, had thought about producing power from
FRENCH industrial engineering major Alstom will formalise its tripartite joint venture agreement with state-owned Bhel and Nuclear Power Corporation over the next few months to help it tap about 45,000 mw of nuclear power, expected to come up in India over the next 10-15 years.
A small wind turbine is a wind powered electric generator with a capacity of less than 30 kilowatts. Small wind turbines can be put to use efficiently for power generation at very low or

Small-scale wind power is getting a lot of attention nationally and internationally and is becoming increasingly popular. Even politicians now believe in the potential of wind generators. But these systems won't get established without mandatory quality standards.
In a landmark move which will augment the power supply in Delhi, Tata Power owned discom NDPL on Tuesday announced the commissioning of the first 36 MW unit of the 108MW (36 MW x 3) gas-based combined cycle power generating facility at Rithala in its distribution network.
<p>Oil and gas are being drained from under the North Sea. But its time as Europe’s energy reservoir is not over. Along its shores and on its waters, thousands of turbines are being built to harness the winds. Next month ministers from ten countries will sign a pact to start work on an underwater electrical grid to link up these disparate projects.
