Biomass is the latest renewable energy source to be targeted by a Texas power company in the push to meet renewable energy targets. Austin Energy will seek approval to build a biomass power plant in Sacul, East Texas. Supporting their chances is a 20 year, $2.3 billion power supply agreement with Nacogdoches Power.
Nacogdoches will construct, operate […]

Speaking at the recent Euroscience Open Forum in Barcelona, Arnulf Jaeger-Walden of the European commission’s Institute for Energy has suggested that the conditions and space in the Sahara Desert could be harnessed to supply enough energy to power Europe.
The massive solar farms could either be photovoltaic cells (unlikely) or concentrating solar power (more likely). The […]
Back in March we reported the preparation being done at Strangford Lough to test the viability of the SeaGen tidal device. News has recently come through on developments in the tidal power project.
Tidal power has finally being added to the national grid at Northern Ireland’s Strangford Lough. The test of the SeaGen device operated by […]
A 50-50 joint venture partnership has been formed between the Tsilhqot’in Government and Western Biomass Power Corp to construct and operate a biomass power plant west of the Fraser River, British Columbia. The partnership will form the Tsilhqot’in Power Corporation (”TCP”).
A detailed engineering study as well as a fiber supply analysis has been completed by […]
Way back in the 1960s France’s State-owned Electricite de France (EDF) built the world’s first tidal energy power plant on the Rance River. The plant, known as La Rance, is capable of producing 240MW of electricity but it has fallen out of favour because the barrage system is damaging the environment.
For this reason a new technology is […]
