New research has shown that sources of renewable energy provided more electricity to the UK’s national grid than fossil fuels during the last quarter, in a symbolic tipping point for the clean energy transition in the UK. The combined energy produced by wind farms, solar panels...
The UK’s renewable energy capacity has surpassed that of fossil fuels for the first time, according to new figures compiled by Imperial College London. The combined capacity of wind, solar, biomass and hydropower reached 41.9GW between July and September, creeping above the 41.2GW capacity of coal,...
Namibia has reached the current limit of its total energy capacity after an unprecedented period of growth in its renewable energy industry during the last few years. The Southwest African country has installed almost 55MW of capacity from renewables in just a few years and has...
Latest US Energy Information Administration (EIA) figures reveal that renewable energy sources accounted for 19.35% of US electricity generation in the first quarter of 2017. This figure represents a much higher proportion of electricity originating from clean energy sources than expected by the EIA, in a...
Canada produced around 66% of its electricity from renewable sources, largely as a result of its booming hydroelectric sector. According to a recent National Energy Board (NEB) report, around 60% of Canada’s electricity originated from hydro energy, with a further 6% coming from wind, solar and...
New economic analysis shows that wind and solar are likely to be the lowest-cost way to power the UK over the next decade, as costs for clean wind and solar energy decline and biomass uncertainty grows. Wind and solar power are likely to be less expensive...
