Vestas has entered into an agreement with MidAmerican Energy Company to supply up to 1,000 V110-2.0 MW wind turbines for MidAmerican’s 2,000-MW Wind XI project in Iowa. The project is still pending approval from the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB).

The conditional agreement includes exclusivity provisions for Vestas to supply 100% of MidAmerican’s 2016 PTC Safe Harbor components.
The conditional agreement comprises supply and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 5-year Active Output Management (AOM) 4000 service agreement with options to extend for up to 10 years. Pending the IUB approval, delivery and commissioning of the turbines will occur from 2016 to 2019.
“This project, if approved, will bring considerable economic benefits to MidAmerican’s rate payers and communities, and Vestas is proud to partner with MidAmerican Energy in their commitment to generate 100% renewable energy,” said Chris Brown, President of Vestas’ sales and service division in the United States and Canada.
Wind XI follows MidAmerican’s first-of-its-kind utility commitment to providing customers with 100% renewable energy generation. MidAmerican Energy Company, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, is the largest regulated utility owner of wind energy in the U.S. With the investment in Wind XI, the utility will generate 85% of its retail load from wind.
If and when the agreement translates into orders that meet Vestas’ definition for firm and unconditional orders, Vestas will disclose company announcements announcing specific orders under the agreement in accordance with its defined order announcement policy.
Potential future order intake under the agreement is expected to occur as partial deliveries under the master agreement and hence, will be announced firm and unconditional when they occur as such.

Energy Development Corp., a renewable power producer led by the Lopez Group, plans to build six more power projects that will add 1,500 megawatts.

EDC received an approval from the Energy Department to conduct studies on six potential wind power projects in Luzon and the Visayas to determine their impact on the power grid.
Latest data from the Energy Department showed that EDC received approval for the 153-MW Matnog 1 and 206-MW Matnog 2 wind projects in Matnog, Sorsogon; 213-MW Iloilo 1 in Batad and San Dionisio and 500-MW Iloilo 2 in Concepcion, Iloilo.
The company was also granted approval to conduct the grid impact study for the expansion of the 183-MW Burgos wind project in Burgos, Ilocos Norte.
EDC owns the existing 150-MW Burgos wind project in Ilocos Norte which was successfully commissioned in November 2014 and is now considered the country’s largest wind power project.
EDC also received an approval to conduct the grid impact study for the 262-MW Negros wind project in Manapla and Cadiz.
EDC, an affiliate of First Gen Corp., is the country’s largest geothermal producer which expanded its renewable energy footprint to include solar and wind.
The National Renewable Energy Board recently sought an approval from the Energy Department for an additional 500-MW installation target for wind projects under the feed-in tariff regime.
NREB proposed a lower feed-in tariff rate of P6 to P7 per kilowatt-hour for wind projects under the third round of installation targets.
The Energy Regulatory Commission earlier granted a P7.40-per-kWh feed-in tariff rate to Trans-Asia Renewable Energy Corp.’s 54-MW San Lorenzo wind power project in Guimaras, PetroWind Energy Inc.’s 36-MW Nabas wind project in Aklan and Alternergy Wind One Corp.’s 54-MW Pililla wind power project in Rizal under the second wave of wind projects.
The regulator granted a lower rate to the second wave of wind projects due to the recent developments in wind technology.
ERC earlier approved a feed-in tariff rate of P8.53 per kWh under the first wave of wind installation target.  Qualified projects include EDC’s 150-MW Burgos wind project, NorthWind Power Development Corp.’s 18.9-MW phase 3 wind project and North Luzon Renewable Energy Corp’s 81-MW Caparispisan wind project in Ilocos Norte.
The Energy Department increased the installation target for wind under the FIT system to 400 MW from 200 MW.

Enercon confió nuevamente en la experiencia de Saceem para la construcción de su segundo parque eólico en Uruguay que estará ubicado en el noreste del país y estará pronto en dos años.

El parque eólico de Cerro Grande estará ubicado en el departamento de Melo y contará con 22 aerogeneradores que, una vez en funcionamiento, aportará una capacidad instalada de 50 megavatios.
Las obras comenzaron en junio y, de acuerdo a los plazos definidos, el parque se entregará en setiembre de 2017.
Saceem ejecutará la obra civil, plataformas para las grúas, fundaciones de aerogeneradores, 14 kilómetros de caminos de acceso y las obras civiles de la subestación elevadora de alta tensión para inyectar la red, así como las obras civiles del puesto de conexión y medida de UTE.
Para ello, la empresa estima el uso de 800 toneladas de acero de refuerzo y 9.000 m3 de hormigón. En tanto, para la caminería se moverán 120.000 m3 de balastro.
El primer trabajo que realizó Saceem para ENERCON fue el Parque Eólico Peralta I y II, ubicado en Tacuarembó. Allí la constructora fue responsable de ejecutar dos parques eólicos en simultáneo de 25 aerogeneradores cada uno, el parque más grande del país a 2015 cuando finalizó la obra.
La estructura de los molinos de Cerro Grande será igual a la de Peralta: la particularidad de éstos es que son realizados en hormigón post tensado hasta los 45 metros de altura y luego se monta la estructura metálica hasta alcanzar los 90 metros totales.
Con este nuevo proyecto, ENERCON reafirma su confianza en los 65 años de trayectoria de Saceem y en su experiencia en proyectos de energía renovable.

WWF reclama a las ciudades compromisos ambiciosos contra el cambio climático para cumplir el Acuerdo de París.

WWF ha celebrado un encuentro con ayuntamientos, empresas que trabajan en el sector de las energías renovables y la eficiencia energética, asociaciones de consumidores y ciudadanos para analizar las oportunidades para luchar contra el cambio climático en los ayuntamientos. Durante la jornada se ha destacado el papel clave de las ciudades para cumplir el Acuerdo de París y reducir las emisiones globales de CO2, ya que son las causantes del 70% de las emisiones totales. WWF exige una transformación urgente de las ciudades para que su consumo de energía sea 100% renovable en 2050, con medidas de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático.
El Acuerdo de París firmado en la ceremonia del pasado 22 de abril por 175 países, representa un paso importante en la lucha contra el cambio climático, pero no es suficiente. Para WWF, las ciudades son claves para asegurar el cumplimiento de los compromisos oficiales, centrados en mantener la temperatura global del planeta por debajo de los 2ºC (y continuar con los esfuerzos para limitarlo a 1,5ºC) a través de los cambios reales y urgentes que se necesitan para evitar los peores impactos de un cambio climático descontrolado.
Las ciudades juegan un papel esencial, ya que el 50% de la población mundial vive en las mismas, consumiendo el 70% de la energía y siendo responsables del 70% de las emisiones. La transición acelerada hacia un modelo 100% renovable en 2050 es clave para actuar frente al cambio climático, por eso es importante que sus compromisos locales en reducción de emisiones, fomento de las energías renovables y en eficiencia energética sean cada vez más ambiciosos.
Algunas de las ciudades son reconocidas mundialmente por su larga historia de innovación y son pioneras en la acción climática, como las premiadas en ediciones anteriores de El Desafío de las Ciudades de la Hora del Planeta de WWF (Vancouver, Ciudad del Cabo o Seúl). Además, existen  ciudades que han establecido objetivos más ambiciosos que sus gobiernos nacionales, que se agrupan en redes de distinto ámbito. Durante la jornada se ha debatido sobre estas redes con el objetivo de buscar sinergias y oportunidades de trabajo y colaboración en la acción climática de los ayuntamientos, intercambiando las mejores experiencias a nivel urbano en esta materia.
Durante el encuentro celebrado hoy, se han explicado las ventajas más relevantes de las principales redes existentes de sostenibilidad en ciudades, como Compact of Mayors, iniciativa internacional presentada por Inés Sabanés, Delegada del Área de Gobierno de medio ambiente y movilidad del ayuntamiento de Madrid. Esta red surgió en el marco de las Naciones Unidas en 2014 y reúne a gobiernos locales que asumen compromisos voluntarios de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático. En la actualidad, hay 17 ayuntamientos españoles que forman parte de esta red donde informan de sus progresos y de la consecución de los objetivos de formar rigurosa, consciente y pública a través de plataformas reconocidas y legitimadas, para favorecer el intercambio de experiencias.
Asimismo, Sonia Bermúdez, Jefa de Sostenibilidad de la Agenda 21 de la Diputación de Jaén, ha presentado la red europea Pacto de los Alcaldes, que agrupa a miles de autoridades locales y regionales que se han comprometido voluntariamente a aplicar los objetivos sobre  clima y energía en su territorio, reduciendo sus emisiones de CO2 en al menos un 40% para 2030 y han adoptado una visión integradora que aborda la mitigación y la adaptación al cambio climático. Los firmantes apoyan una visión común para el año 2050: acelerar la descarbonización de sus territorios, fortalecer su capacidad de adaptación a los efectos inevitables del cambio climático y permitir a sus ciudadanos el acceso a fuentes de energía seguras, sostenibles y asequibles.
Juan Espadas, Presidente del Consejo de Gobierno de la Red Española de Ciudades por el Clima, ha desarrollado durante la jornada la iniciativa nacional Red Española de Ciudades por el Clima, formada por los gobiernos locales que están integrando en sus políticas la protección del clima. Actualmente, en los gobiernos locales de la Red reside más del 60% de la población española. Favorece la coordinación de actuaciones entre gobiernos locales permitiendo alcanzar mejores resultados en la lucha contra el cambio climático y en la mitigación de sus efectos. Es un instrumento de apoyo técnico que ofrece herramientas para que los gobiernos locales alcancen sus objetivos y la principal herramienta para trasladar los objetivos de la política nacional de cambio climático y gestión de la energía a la escala local.
Por su parte, el Desafío de las Ciudades de WWF tiene como objetivo impulsar y catalizar la acción climática mediante el desarrollo de un concurso internacional que reconozca y premie las mejores prácticas presentadas. Un total de 125 ciudades de 21 países de todo el mundo han participado en este concurso para alzarse como capital mundial de la Hora del Planeta. Este año 16 ciudades españolas han concursado y Murcia ha sido elegida como ganadora de España por un jurado internacional independiente.
La candidatura de Murcia por la que se ha erigido como  ganadora a nivel nacional se centra en su nuevo Plan de Movilidad Sostenible para mejorar el transporte, desarrollando el tranvía y promocionando el coche eléctrico, así como un sistema de préstamo de bicicletas eléctricas MUyBICI y más de 20 km de carril bici. Por su parte, Palma de Mallorca, que ha quedado en segundo lugar, se centra en el fomento de las energías renovables para reducir las emisiones aprovechando el biogás de vertederos para generar electricidad renovable y calor.

Wind energy could provide 26% of China’s electricity by 2030

June 21, 2016, 7:28 am

China has an opportunity to massively increase its use of wind power — if it properly integrates wind into its existing power system, according to a newly published MIT study.

The study forecasts that wind power could provide 26 percent of China’s projected electricity demand by 2030, up from 3 percent in 2015. Such a change would be a substantial gain in the global transition to renewable energy, since China produces the most total greenhouse gas emissions of any country in the world.
But the projection comes with a catch. China should not necessarily build more wind power in its windiest areas, the study finds. Instead, it should build more wind turbines in areas where they can be more easily integrated into the operations of its existing electricity grid.
“Wind that is built in distant, resource-rich areas benefits from more favorable physical properties but suffers from existing constraints on the operation of the power system,” states Valerie Karplus, an assistant professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, director of the Tsinghua-MIT China Energy and Climate Project, and a member of the MIT Energy Initiative. Those constraints include greater transmission costs and the cost of “curtailment,” when available wind power is not used.
The paper, “Integrating wind into China’s coal-heavy electricity system,” is appearing in Nature Energy. In addition to Karplus, the authors are Michael R. Davidson, a graduate student in MIT’s Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change and the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society; Da Zhang, a postdoc in MIT’s Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change; and Weiming Xiong and Xiliang Zhang of Tsinghua University. Karplus and Zhang are the corresponding authors of the paper, and lead an MIT-Tsinghua collaboration focused on managing energy and climate change in China.
While China has invested heavily in renewable energy sources in recent years, more investment in the sector will be needed if the country is to meet its pledge of having 20 percent of its energy consumption come from non-fossil fuel sources by the year 2030, as part of the Paris climate agreement of 2015.
While several previous studies have evaluated China’s wind-energy potential based on the country’s natural environment, the MIT study is the first to study how wind energy could expand, based on simulations of China’s power system operations.
When operational constraints are considered, the MIT team found, China may only be able to use 10 percent of the physical potential for wind power cited in their analysis and other studies. Nevertheless, even harnessing that 10 percent would be enough for wind power to provide the study’s estimated 26 percent of electricity by 2030.
A key challenge the study identifies is integrating wind power into a system that has traditionally been geared toward consumption of coal. Wind power, being intermittent, currently requires flexibility in the operation of the electricity system to ensure wind can be used when it is available.
That, in turn, requires flexibility in the delivery of electricity from coal-fired power plants, which accounted for over 70 percent of electricity generated in China in 2015. However, China has regulations determining high minimum output levels for many coal-powered electricity plants, to ensure the profitability of those plants. Reducing these requirements and creating more flexible generation schedules for coal would create more space for wind power.
“Renewable energy plays a central role in China’s efforts to address climate change and local air quality,” Da Zhang explains. “China plans to substantially increase the amount of wind electricity capacity in the future, but its utilization — and ultimately its contribution to these environmental goals — depends on whether or not integration challenges can be solved.”
New policies possible?
As the researchers see it, new policies can help create the conditions for increased use of wind power — but may be difficult to implement. As Davidson notes, “establishing regulatory structures and policy incentives to capture these benefits will be difficult in China because of legacy institutions.”
And as Karplus adds, current regulations have been designed to ensure profitability for power producers, rather than making them compete to lower costs. “Existing policies prioritize sharing benefits equally among participants rather than facing strict price competition,” she says. “As electricity demand growth has slowed in recent years, the limited size of the pie means sharper conflicts between wind and coal.”
To be sure, as Karplus notes, government planners in China have been experimenting with using energy markets that do not rely strictly on the system that uses a quota for coal power, but encourages competition for long-term contracts to deliver coal-based electricity, while creating additional markets for flexible operation.
Such market mechanisms could prove beneficial to renewable energy sources, principally wind and solar power. As Karplus concludes: “Our work shows the value of continuing these reforms, including introducing markets and relaxing the administrative constraints … for China's ability to utilize its present and future wind capacity to the fullest.”
At MIT, the research was funded by a consortium of founding sponsors of the MIT-Tsinghua China Energy and Climate Project, supported through the MIT Energy Initiative: Eni, the French Development Agency (AFD), ICF, and Shell. At Tsinghua University, researchers received separate support from government and industry sources. The MIT-Tsinghua China Energy and Climate Project is part of the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change.

Adwen and LM Wind Power have partnered to take a large step forward towards lowering the cost of energy in offshore, putting their respective technology expertise together to present the longest blade in the world.

According to Adwen, the huge component of 88.4 meters has been specifically designed for its AD 8-180 wind turbine model, with 8MW nominal capacity and 180 meter rotor diameter. The first of these huge blades has just been manufactured at LM Wind Power’s factory in Lunderskov, Denmark and will be transported to a facility in Aalborg, Denmark in the following days, where it will commence rigorous testing in the framework of Adwen’s extensive product validation plan.
The engineering teams of both companies have been working together for months to design and integrate a blade that represents an important step forward in the race to lower the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE). With the largest rotor in the industry (180 meters), Adwen claims the AD 8-180 has the highest annual energy production (AEP) of all wind turbines.
The LM 88.4 P blade has been designed with manufacturability and reliability in mind, benefiting from the unique know-how of LM Wind Power, developing large blades for offshore application for the past 25 years and resulting in a 925 MW installed base. LM Wind Power’s track record combined with Adwen’s powerful turbine, technology and unique experience from operating 630 MW offshore wind farms has resulted in a state of the art rotor integration with innovative features, building on proven technologies.
Adwen explains that the 88.4 meters length of the blades is the best compromise between swept area, energy production, and the weight as well as the loads transferred to the wind turbine. This combination provides the optimum balance of plant costs and contributes to one of the most competitive LCoE in the industry. In addition, the blade design has been conceived with scalability in mind to enable the further development of Adwen’s 8 MW platform.
“When you are building the largest wind turbine in the world, almost everything you do is an unprecedented challenge. We are going where no one else has ever gone before, pushing all the known frontiers in the industry. Having developed and integrated together with LM Wind Power the first unit of the longest blade ever and being able to start testing is a key step forward in the development of our AD 8-180 and proves that Adwen is at the forefront of the industry,” says Luis Álvarez, Adwen General Manager.
LM Wind Power’s CEO, Marc de Jong adds, “The LM 88.4 P blade is an extraordinary example of industrialised innovation at record breaking scale. It is based on innovation building blocks, rooted in 35 years of real life experience, in the design, technology and manufacturing of ultra-long, reliable blades. This blade is a strong proof point of the shared ambition of Adwen and LM Wind Power to bring forward best in class and proven rotor solutions for offshore application, increasing Annual Energy output through efficient and reliable technology.”

Los accionistas de la compañía de aerogeneradores, reunidos en Zamudio (Vizcaya), han ratificado la gestión del ejercicio 2015.  El Presidente de Gamesa ha subrayado que la compañía se convertirá en “uno de los principales líderes mundiales de la industria eólica” tras la operación de fusión con Siemens.

Gamesa ha celebrado hoy en Zamudio (Vizcaya), en segunda convocatoria, su Junta General de Accionistas, en la que se han aprobado las cuentas correspondientes a 2015, así como la gestión de la compañía durante el ejercicio.
Entre los acuerdos aprobados, destaca la ratificación de Gema Góngora y de Sonsoles Rubio como consejeras dominicales y la reelección de Ignacio Martín Presidente y Consejero delegado de Gamesa. Asimismo, la Junta ha acordado el reparto con cargo al ejercicio 2015 de un dividendo en efectivo por importe de 0,1524 euros por acción.
Durante su intervención, Ignacio Martín ha hecho referencia al nuevo Plan de Negocio 2015-2017 -presentado el año pasado tras cumplir de manera anticipada los objetivos del anterior plan-, enfocado en la consolidación del crecimiento rentable y la creación de valor para los accionistas.
“Hemos cumplido el primer ejercicio del plan de manera exitosa, cosechando unos resultados que han superado todas las previsiones, lo que nos ha permitido mejorar e, incluso, adelantar un año los objetivos planteados para 2017”, ha destacado Martín.

Una de las claves de la gestión –ha subrayado el Presidente de Gamesa- ha sido la sólida estrategia comercial y tecnológica de la compañía, que combina el liderazgo en mercados emergentes y maduros. De esta manera, la compañía ha ascendido hasta ocupar la cuarta posición en el ranking mundial de fabricantes onshore que elabora la consultora especializada Make: se ha erigido como primer fabricante por cuota de mercado en India y México y el segundo en Brasil; ha sido el primer fabricante extranjero por MWs instalados en un mercado tan importante como el chino, y además se ha colocado en el top ten de todas las zonas geográficas.
Asimismo, Martín ha querido hacer especial hincapié en la búsqueda de oportunidades adicionales de crecimiento, como ha sido la entrada en el segmento solar y en offgrid durante este periodo. En tan solo un año, la compañía ha firmado cerca de 100 MW solares en India y ha puesto en marcha su primer prototipo offgrid para suministrar energía en zonas remotas sin acceso a la red eléctrica.
Esta excelente evolución de Gamesa se ha visto reflejada en las acciones de la compañía, que durante el pasado ejercicio se revalorizaron un 109%, hasta los 15,82 euros por acción, a pesar del comportamiento negativo de la mayor parte de los índices bursátiles en el mismo periodo.
Futuro prometedor para Gamesa
El Presidente de Gamesa ha aprovechado su intervención para referirse a la operación de fusión con Siemens anunciada recientemente. Ha subrayado que la compañía tiene “un futuro prometedor”, ya que se convertirá en “uno de los principales líderes mundiales de la industria eólica”.
Martín ha incidido en el compromiso de Gamesa para mantener su vinculación con el mercado español, en el que continuará cotizando, y ha recordado que la fusión será sometida a la aprobación de los accionistas en una Junta Extraordinaria que se convocará en el corto plazo.
La operación, cuyo cierre se estima para el primer trimestre de 2017, consigue el mayor beneficio para todos los que integran Gamesa, tanto accionistas como empleados, clientes y proveedores, ha explicado el Presidente. “Tenemos un proyecto apasionante por delante”, ha concluido.

Gamesa held its Shareholders’ General Meeting, at second call, today in Zamudio (Vizcaya, Spain), at which its shareholders approved its 2015 financial statements and the company’s management throughout the year.

Among the items approved today, it is worth highlighting the ratification of the appointments of Gema Góngora and Sonsoles Rubio as proprietary directors and of Ignacio Martín as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gamesa. In addition, the Board has agreed to distribute a cash dividend from 2015 profits of €0.1524 per share.
During his presentation, Ignacio Martín referred to the new 2015-2017 Business Plan, presented to the market last year having delivered the prior plan targets ahead of schedule, which is focused on consolidating the company’s profitable growth and creating value for shareholders.
“We have successfully completed year one of this plan, harvesting results which have topped all forecasts, enabling us to bring the guidance initially set for 2017 forward by one year”, highlighted Ignacio Martín.

One of the keys to this performance, stressed Gamesa’s Chairman, was the company’s solid sales and technology strategy, marked by leadership in the right blend of emerging and mature markets. As a result, the company has climbed to fourth position on the latest global ranking of onshore OEMs compiled by MAKE Consultancy: more specifically, it ranked as the #1 OEM in India and Mexico and the #2 player in Brazil; it was the number one foreign manufacturer by capacity instalments in the all-important Chinese market and ranked in the top ten in all geographic regions.
Ignacio Martín sought to emphasise the search for additional growth opportunities such as the company’s penetration of the solar and offgrid segments during the past year. In just one year, the company has secured orders for close to 100 MW of solar power capacity in India and rolled out its maiden offgrid prototype for the supply of power to remote areas without grid access.
Gamesa’s excellent performance was reflected in its share price, which gained 109% in 2015 to €15.82 per share, despite the fact that most stock market indices corrected last year.
Promising future for Gamesa
The Chairman of Gamesa took advantage of the forum to refer to the recently-announced merger with Siemens. He stressed that the company has a “promising future”, as it will become “one of the global leaders in the wind power industry”.
Ignacio Martín emphasised Gamesa’s commitment to maintaining its Spanish ties -it will remain listed in Spain-, reminding that the transaction will require the approval of the company’s shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be called shortly.
He told his audience that the transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2017, will deliver benefits for everyone comprising Gamesa: shareholders, employees, customers and suppliers alike. He wrapped up by saying, “we have enthralling times ahead of us”.

American wind power applauded the Rhode Island Legislature today for advancing the state’s renewable energy target from 14.5 percent by 2019 to 40 percent by 2035. The new law, once signed by Gov. Gina Raimondo, will ensure Rhode Island homeowners and businesses have greater access to renewable energy, including clean, low-cost wind energy.

“With a turn of the Governor’s pen, Rhode Island can join a leading cohort of states raising their renewable energy targets in order to keep the air clean and cut costs,” said Tom Kiernan, CEO of the American Wind Energy Association. “States with the best policies are going to attract the most business. By raising its Renewable Energy Standard, Rhode Island is sending the signal that it’s open for business to renewable energy developers who will invest billions of dollars into the state economy.”
Wind farm investment in Rhode Island has attracted $20 million in total capital investment to the state economy. According to the Wind Energy Foundation, growing wind power in Rhode Island could result in $240 million in electricity bill savings by 2050 and up to $744 million in savings through lower gas prices.
The bill, 2016-S 2450B, considered to be part of the Senate’s “Grow green jobs RI Action Plan,” updates the state’s previous Renewable Energy Standard (RES), originally set in June 2004. The original RES targeted 3 percent renewable energy by 2007, then rising at an additional 1.5 percent of renewable energy each year until 2020, until it would reach 16 percent by 2020. The Public Utility Commission later decided to delay the target for one year, effectively making the new RES 14.5 percent by 2019.
Rhode Island could soon join a growing number of states, including California, Oregon, Vermont, and Hawaii, raising their existing renewable energy targets laws in order to reduce carbon emissions and cut costs by diversifying their electricity mix. That list could also soon include New York as it considers expanding its renewable energy law to 50 percent by 2030, matching the goal passed by California last year.
A House amendment attached to the legislation gives the PUC more flexibility to delay a planned increase in the RES in the event of an inadequate supply of renewable energy credits (RECs).

The Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) project is both the largest single wind power project in Africa and the largest single private investment in Kenya’s history. It is being developed in Marsabit County, 12km east of Lake Turkana – the biggest permanent desert lake in the world – approximately 530km north of Nairobi, the country’s capital.
 
The scorching sun is unrelenting, but the blowing winds are strong and they become even stronger after sunset. The sandy soils do not support much in the way of vegetation. Nothing grows here, except for thorny acacia trees which are few and far between.
In this barren and harsh environment stands the village of Sarima, hemmed in by a wire-mesh fence. It is home to 760 families, cobbled together in traditional dwellings known as manyattas, which are made of twigs and other materials.
Villagers derive their livelihood from livestock – sheep, goats and camels – which are nowhere to be seen in the village because they have been driven several kilometres away to look for pasture.
So, when the project came calling, villagers had great expectations for jobs. However, their hopes have since been dampened, with only a handful of jobs to go round. The feeling of bitterness and resentment is widespread.
“I deferred my studies because I had inadequate fees to continue with them,” says Laments Ekomwa, a 20-year-old former student of South Eastern Kenya University.
“I came back to Sarima in January 2015 looking for a job so that I can get money to go back to school but I haven’t gotten a job up to now.”
Benefits
The speed and strength of the winds here place them among the best for power generation in the world. The region has a maximum mean annual speed of 8.47m/s and a minimum of 4.96m/s.
The project is set to generate up to 310MW of power when it comes online towards the end of 2017, contributing 15–20% of Kenya’s energy needs. Besides boosting the country’s power generation, the project remains central to Kenya’s Vision 2030 – a blueprint for development that aims to make Kenya a newly industrialising, middle income nation by 2030.
With its 365 wind turbines, the project will save the country more than $177m a year on fuel imports and benefit approximately 2.5m Kenyans.
It is also registered as a Clean Development Mechanism project under the Kyoto Protocol. This means that the greenhouse gas emissions alleviated by the project can be converted into Certified Emission Reductions (carbon credits) that can be sold to developed countries.
According to the African Development Bank, the project will displace the equivalent of between 565,920 and 1,264,320 tons of carbon dioxide per year. Part of the earnings from carbon trading will be invested in the affected community via the Ministry of Energy.
“KPLC’s financial stability is critical to the continuing effort to increase access to electricity in Kenya, and we urge caution in putting unsustainable financial obligation on it,” the newspaper quotes him as saying.

Land tenure issues are complicated in Africa. According to Aly Khan Satchu, chief executvie officer of Rich Management, an investment advisory service based in Nairobi, investors coming into Africa need to do more to ascertain the risk they are exposing themselves to.
He cites yet another wind power project in Kenya – the 60MW Kinangop Wind Park project, which had to close down due to similar issues facing the LTWP.
“I think that what we find increasingly in so many different parts of our economy is that a lot of international investors haven’t really done their due diligence or they have not been able to measure this kind of risk,” says Satchu.
As far as he is concerned, failure to engage with the local community is a major impediment for investing on the continent.

La producción de energía eólica (generada por el viento) en Brasil aumentó más de cinco veces entre 2010 y 2014, al pasar de 2.177 gigavatios por hora (Gwh) a los 12.210 Gwh anuales, un aumento del 460,86 por ciento, informó hoy el gobierno.

Los datos, presentados por el estatal Instituto Brasileño de Geografía y Estadística (IBGE), indican que pese al aumento de la energía eólica, ésta todavía representa muy poco en la energía generada en el país: apenas el 2,1 por ciento.
eólica Ceará Brasil
La mayoría de la energía producida en Brasil es a través de las hidroeléctricas (63,2 por ciento del total producido en Brasil), seguido de las centrales térmicas (34,7 por ciento).
Los estados del noreste de Brasil son los que más produjeron energía eólica, con el 76 por ciento del total de la producción nacional.
Brasil cubrirá con eólica el 11% de su electricidad, por José Santamarta
También hoy, un estudio calculó que la producción de energía eólica y solar debe superar en Brasil la de las centrales hidroeléctricas en los próximos 25 años, con lo que Brasil pasaría a tener el 43 por ciento de su energía generada a partir de placas solares o vientos en 2040, mientras que las hidroeléctricas las reducirían al 29 por ciento.
El estudio contempla que el uso de energía solar debe pasar de apenas 3.500 residencias que hay actualmente a 9,5 millones en 2040.

EDF Group is announcing the commissioning of the Ensemble Eolien Catalan wind farm, a 96 MW facility located in the Languedoc-Roussillon-Midi-Pyrénées region. EDF Energies Nouvelles is a market leader in green electricity production, with a portfolio of 9,063 MW of gross installed capacity focused for the most part on wind (onshore and offshore) and solar photovoltaic energy. Mostly operating in Europe and North America, EDF Energies Nouvelles continues its development in promising emerging areas taking position in new countries (Brazil South Africa and India). The Company is also present in other segments of the renewable energy market: marine energy, biomass and distributed energies. EDF Energies Nouvelles manages renewable energy projects’ development and construction as well as operation and maintenance for its own account and for third parties. EDF Energies Nouvelles is a subsidiary of the EDF Group dedicated to renewable energy.
The wind farm is equipped with “stealth” wind turbines, the world’s first solution favouring the coexistence of wind farms and weather radars.
The large-scale wind farm was inaugurated today by Jean-Bernard Lévy, President and Chief Executive Officer of EDF Group, and Antoine Cahuzac, EDF’s Group Senior Executive Vice President in Renewable Energies and Chief Executive Officer of EDF Energies Nouvelles.
The Ensemble Eolien Catalan wind farm is located in the municipalities of Baixas, Calce, Pézilla-la-Rivière and Villeneuve-la-Rivière, Pyrénées-Orientales department. Developed, built, commissioned and operated by EDF Energies Nouvelles, EDF Group subsidiary dedicated to renewable energy, the wind farm is comprised of 35 turbines, each with a unit capacity of 2-3 MW.
The 96 MW Ensemble Eolien Catalan facility is now France’s most powerful wind farm, ahead of Salles-Curan (87 MW), commissioned by EDF Energies Nouvelles in 2008. Output is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 120,000 people, or 25% of the department’s population.
This high-tech facility is equipped with “stealth” wind turbines. This innovation, borrowed from the military stealth technology, is the result of a partnership between EDF Energies Nouvelles, Danish turbines manufacturer Vestas and QinetiQ, the international defence, security and technology company. With a technology that sharply decreases the reflectivity of their components, the stealth wind turbines significantly reduce their footprint on the radars operated by Météo France, such as the one located close to the wind farm.
The wind farm will be operated and maintained by EDF EN Services, EDF Energies Nouvelles’ dedicated subsidiary.
With the commissioning of this new facility, the Group operates 51% of the wind power capacity located in the region and a total of over 1.1 GW across France.
During the inauguration, Jean-Bernard Lévy, President and Chief Executive Officer of EDF, said: “European leader in low-carbon electricity, EDF Group is present on all renewable sectors. As part of our CAP 2030 strategy, we will further accelerate our development in these energies in France. This illustrates our aim to build a diversified generation mix serving the energy transition. Technological innovation has always been at the heart of our commitment and will be a major driver of this development.”

Danish blade manufacturer LM Wind Power on Tuesday announced it had developed the world’s longest turbine blade with a length of 88.4 meters. The new blade is specifically designed for offshore wind turbine manufacturer Adwen’s wind turbine model AD 8-180, with eight megawatts (MW) nominal capacity and 180 meter rotor diameter, LM Wind Power said in a statement.

The first of these massive blades has just been manufactured at LM Wind Power’s pilot plant in Lunderskov, Denmark and will be transported to a facility in Aalborg in the next few days for testing.
According to LM Wind Power, the length of 88.4 meters is the best compromise between swept area — the area of the circle created by the blades as they sweep through the air — energy production, weight, and the loads transferred to the wind turbine.
This combination provides the optimum balance of plant costs and contributes to one of the most competitive leveled cost of energy in the industry, the company said.
The new blade is “an extraordinary example of industrialized innovation at record breaking scale,” said Marc de Jong, CEO of LM Wind Power.
Founded in Lunderskov in 1940, LM Wind Power is the world’s largest independent supplier of rotor blades for wind turbines. Approximately one in five wind turbines installed worldwide has LM Wind Power blades.
The company has a history of breaking size records with the LM 61.5 P as the world’s first blade exceeding 60 meters in 2004, followed by the record-breaking LM 73.5 P in 2011.

Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) voted in favour of increasing the European Union’s target for renewables to ‘at least’ 30% by 2030.

Europe current has a target of at least 27%, which was agreed by European leaders in October 2014.
The parliamentary vote, which has no direct legislative impact, sends a clear message to the European Commission to be more ambitious on its upcoming proposal for a renewables law that will extend into the next decade. The European Commission is expected to come forward with its proposal before the end of this year.
MEPs stressed the need for the European Commission to have enhanced oversight on Member State progress toward the target with the possibility to intervene if EU countries impose measures that have a counterproductive impact on the deployment of renewables.
Additionally, the Commission should set national benchmarks for Member States to ensure countries stick to their commitments. Such benchmarks should come as part of a strong, robust and transparent governance system to guarantee that Europe can meet its 27% goal.
Giles Dickson, Chief Executive Officer of WindEurope, said: “We welcome the Parliament’s call for an at least 30% target for renewables by 2030. The Commission now needs to define the additional measures and encourage member states to show the necessary level of ambition in their national plans. Without this ambition, Member States will only hurt themselves as investors will put renewables projects on ice and that will have knock-on effects for jobs and growth in Europe.”

HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) announced today the selected bidder for the 800 megawatt (MW) third phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which will be constructed based on the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model. HE Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of State, and Chairman of Masdar, the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, was present. The selected bidder for the project is a Masdar-led consortium including the Spanish companies FRV (Fotowatio Renewable Ventures) and Gransolar Group. The consortium bid a Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE), of 2.99 US cents per kilowatt hour (kW/h).

The announcement was made at a press conference at the Armani hotel in Dubai, which was attended by Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, Chief Executive Officer of Masdar, Executive Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents from DEWA, the senior management team of Masdar, and local and international media.
The consortium was selected following a sizable competition and an evaluation of numerous offers. DEWA has received 95 Expressions of Interest (EOI) from international energy companies, in response to its tender request over 8-29 September 2015.
DEWA requested companies to submit their requests for qualification before November 2015. This was followed by a Request for Proposals (RFP), to qualified bidders on 28 December 2015. DEWA received 5 bids from international organisations. The lowest recorded bid at the opening of the envelopes was 2.99 US cents per kW/h. In preparation for the next phase, DEWA will develop shareholder and power-purchase agreements that will be signed in Q4 of 2016.
“The selection of the Masdar-led consortium is a testament to the vision of the UAE leadership, the foresight of the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, and the commitment of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority to realise ambitious renewable energy projects,” said H.E Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber. “It also reflects the technical expertise and proven track record that Masdar has built over the last ten years.”
“The UAE firmly believes that meeting the world’s growing energy demand requires a mix of energy sources, where we build on our existing assets of conventional energy, complementing them with alternative sources. By using multiple sources of energy such as natural gas, nuclear and solar, we are delivering both baseload generating capacity and the ability to meet peak energy demand efficiently and cost effectively.”

“Today, we take another step forward for solar energy by announcing the selected bidder for the 800 megawatt (MW) third phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. We have a roadmap to achieve this, which includes ambitious initiatives and development projects to provide excellent government services based on world-class standards, to achieve everyone’s happiness. This is a new phase of our economy that is based on environmental sustainability and clean energy to make Dubai the city with the lowest carbon footprint in the world.”
“DEWA has received a globally-competitive price of 2.99 US cents per kilowatt hour (kW/h) for the park’s third phase, which will use photovoltaic technology and will be operational by 2020. This is based on the IPP model, thanks to the Masdar-led consortium including the Spanish companies FRV (Fotowatio Renewable Ventures) and Gransolar Group. The importance of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar park lies in two points: it is the first of its kind in the region, and in its capacity. It is the first of several promising projects to use renewable energy to generate electricity in Dubai,” added Al Tayer.
“Since the announcement of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar park, the project has attracted huge interest from the business and energy sectors. DEWA received several offers from international solar energy companies, reflecting the trust and interest from investors in large projects by Dubai Government. This has been encouraged by favourable current regulations and legislation in Dubai that permit private sector partnerships in power-production projects in the Emirate.”
“We are very proud of the UAE’s achievements. We have accomplished significant success in photovoltaic energy. We strive to implement the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 to diversify the energy mix so clean energy will generate 25% of Dubai’s total power output by 2030 and 75% by 2050. This strategy relies on innovation, and Research and Development (R&D) as the basis for the future of energy, preparing the plans and initiatives to make developments in science and technology.”
“Earlier this month, and in adherence with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, we launched the largest Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) project in the world, using the IPP model, with an expected capacity of 1,000 MW by 2030, at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which is the largest single-site solar park in the world with a planned capacity of 5,000MW by 2030 with a total investment of AED 50 billion,” said Al Tayer.
“DEWA has released a tender for leading international CSP consultants to submit their proposals for advisory services for the 200MW first project of the CSP plant. It will be operational by April 2021. DEWA will generate 1,000MW using this technology by 2030 at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar park. The solar park’s 13MW first phase became operational in October 2013. The 200MW second phase will be operational in April 2017. When it’s completed, the project will achieve a reduction of approximately 6.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.”
“Energy is an integral part of the social and economic development of all countries, and the transformation towards clean energy has positive environmental, social, and economic effects, making conventional energy less competitive and attractive for further investments. Clean energy is a great opportunity for the future as demand keeps rising around the world. Oil prices and improved technology have helped increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix. This makes technology a key factor in the transformation towards clean energy. At DEWA, we encourage research and development in solar energy, to enhance energy security and sustainability.”
“Our wise leadership has a vision to make the UAE the most sustainable country in the world by launching projects in clean and renewable energy, ensuring the Emirate’s continuous growth, while at the same time protecting its natural resources, and shaping the future of energy in the region as a whole, to achieve sustainable development and promote the welfare of citizens, residents, and visitors, to ensure a sustainable future, for generations to come,” concluded Al Tayer.
“The selection of the Masdar consortium to develop phase three of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is a historical achievement for our company as we mark ten years of operations,” said Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, Chief Executive Officer of Masdar.
“The Masdar consortium will devote all of its experience and expertise to realising this world-class project. It is thanks to the technical clarity and transparency provided by DEWA that we have been able to deliver such a highly competitive bid.”
“Masdar is committed to accelerating the adoption of clean technologies and renewable energy, building on our decade-long experience and supporting the UAE’s strategy to increase the share of clean energy in its energy mix,” Al Ramahi added. “We stand ready to develop new opportunities in the UAE and elsewhere in the GCC, including new markets such as Saudi Arabia.”
