In the 12 months of 2015, the production expanded by 6% to 48,066 GWh, with thermal and hydro electricity representing 49.8% and 48.5%, respectively, and a 1.73% share for wind and solar energy. The overall effective capacity increased 10% versus 2014, to 11,296 MW. The power sector's...
Climate mitigation scenarios envision considerable growth of wind and solar power, but scholars disagree on how this growth compares with historical trends. Here we fit growth models to wind and solar trajectories to identify countries in which growth ha
solar and wind power, which would create an incentive for Ethiopia to retain a seasonality in the Blue Nile flow. We found that this could deliver fivefold benefits across the three countries: decarbonizing power generation in the Eastern Africa Power Pool; allowing compliance with Sudan’s ...
The following chart shows how much more (or less) electricity was produced by the different energy sources each year versus the year before. Data shows that there’s been significant progress in the production of solar and wind power over the past two decades. In 2022, solar added a record...
German wind and solar park operator Encavis AG (ETR:CAP) today reported “excellent results” for the first quarter of 2019, including an after-tax profit of EUR 7.9 million (USD 8.8m), versus a tiny loss a year ago. At the end of March, the company had almost 2 GW of wind and ...
Nationwide, hourly-averaged solar plus wind power generation (MW) data compiled forGermanyfor year 2016 is evaluated with ten influencing variables. Those variables cover, on an hourly basis, weather and ground-surface conditions and electricity prices. The transparent open box (TOB) algorithm accurat...
operating) because generation is subject to wind variability. Like solar power, wind is a source of variable renewable power that is dependent on daily, seasonal, and locational variations in the weather. Geographic diversity — that is, installing wind ...
Byline: Tom LoBianco, THE WASHINGTON TIMESANNAPOLIS - Self-styled "green" leaders across the country face a conundrum over wind power: Do they alienate part of their constituency by leveling pristine forests to build wind farms, or irritate the other part by rejecting a promising source of ...
China’s wind and solar capacity surpass coal for the first time In H1, wind and solar added over 100 GW versus 8 GW from coal. China's rapid shift to cleaner energy is gaining momentum, with wind and solar power generation surpassing coal for the first time, according to Rystad Energy...
