European electricity transmission system operator TenneT has flagged the potential of massive “offshore energy islands”, potentially as big as 12 gigawatts to supply power to northern European countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark.

TNB in a statement said the 30 megawatt (MW) large scale solar (LSS) project, located in Bukit Selambau, Kedah has started its early operations 114 days ahead of schedule from the initial target on December 31, 2020.

South Asian regional investments promoting cross border energy trade will allow optimisation of differentiated energy resources across countries, develop mutually beneficial interdepenendencies, and mitigate geopolitical and climate risks across the region

As well as targeting 100% renewable electricity production by 2040, Sweden is transforming homes into highly efficient ‘prosumers’ - buildings which both produce and consume the vast majority of their own energy.

Southeast Asia’s wind power sector requires at least US$14 billion of investments by 2030, says Wood Mackenzie. This is to support the 8.9 GW of new wind power capacity that Wood Mackenzie expects to be added between 2020 and 2029.

EFG-Hermes’s private equity arm sold the stake in Vortex III, a photovoltaic portfolio with 365 megawatts of capacity, to TNB International, a subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Bhd., the Egyptian company said in a statement Thursday.

Researchers have created a device that uses liquids to efficiently convert low-grade heat to electricity. The advance might one day power energy-scavenging devices that can light up sensors and lights and even charge batteries.

BP’s influential annual report on the future of energy, published on Monday, says oil will be replaced by clean electricity from windfarms, solar panels and hydropower plants as renewable energy emerges as the fastest-growing energy source on record.

Alphabet’s Google aims to power its data centers and offices 24-7 using solely carbon-free electricity by 2030. The tech giant is building on its previous goal of matching its energy use with 100% renewable energy.

In the first half of this year, two thirds of electricity generated in the EU was carbon-free. Renewables generation accounted for 40% of the electricity mix and fossil fuel generation dropped by 18% year-on-year to 34%, Eurelectric said in a report.

8 years ago, researchers from the University of Delaware and Delaware Technical College put forward a rather “radical” idea to deal with wind and solar power’s intermittency while also acknowledging wind and solar power’s falling costs - why not just overbuild wind and solar power plants in the future? What seemed like a radical idea back in 2012 is gaining increasing support today.

Distributed energy resources, the small-scale generation facilities such as rooftop solar installations that generate power to be used either on-site or near the site of generation, are an essential part of the renewable energy future.
