Scientists are constantly looking for new ways to improve existing technologies. Solar energy suffers from quite a few drawbacks including the amount of energy that is lost simply through the inefficiencies of the collection method. Another obvious problem with solar energy is that the sun will only be available during the daylight hours.

The first electricity from the Whitelee Wind Farm is already being produced from 20 of the proposed 140 wind turbines that will eventually comprise the entire project. Developed by ScottishPower Renewables, the Whitelee Wind Farm on Eaglesham Moor to the south of Glasgow will eventually have a maximum capacity of 322MW, generating enough electricity to […]
Construction is currently underway at the Greenknowes Wind Farm a wind power project that is being undertaken by ScottishPower Renewables. The Greenknowes Wind Farm will comprise 18 wind turbines and will havea maximum electricity production capacity of 27MW when it is in commercial production. This will provide electricty to power up to 15,000 homes.

The Windhoek wind farm only has a maximum capacity of 5.2MW but the commissioning of the project is a significant event because it represents the first commercial wind farm in South Africa. Buyelwa Sonjica, the minerals and energy minister, called it a first key step in the quest toward renewable energy.
Located in Darling, the 4 […]
Indiana’s first commercial wind power station has been brought online this month. The 130MW capacity wind farm lies 90 miles northwest of Indianapolis near the Illinois state line.
The Benton County Wind Farm comprises 87 wind turbines and generates enough power to suppply 43,000 homes. The project is the first in a planned construction project that […]
A wave power station has been proposed off the coast of Western Australia by a joint partnership agreement announced between Ocean Power Technologies and Griffin Wave Power Ltd. The proposed wave power station will have an initial capacity of 10MW with the potention to expand to 100MW.
The technology used to create the Western Australia Wave […]
