If we could fast forward 15 years the technology that would really blow ones mind would not be the copious fields of wind turbines but in truth the thousands of developments that have entered our daily lives through more energy efficient applications. In turn through greater energy efficiency in our daily lives will present a reduced energy demand full stop...
A fascinating statistic shows that roughly 40 percent of all wind capacity within Europe is directed over the UK. This creates an ideal domain particularly for home owners to reap the domestic rewards from installing a small wind turbine which can comfortably generate more green energy than your properties electrical demand including lights, electric radiators and other electrical appliances. What...
With the governments £11 billion smart meter rollout currently underway are we actually up to date with what they are and why they are so beneficial that the government has made such a commitment to offer installation in every home and business in the UK. The rollout of smart meters commenced at the begging of this year 2016, although with...
Over the last 2 years we have seen a sharp decline in coal power and a global switch to renewable energy sources which has in turn produced a halt in carbon emissions for a second succession in a row. According to a recent analysis by the International Energy Agency, in 2015 there was vast growth in renewable energy generation, mainly...
Renewable electricity generation swiftly overtook coal in Q3 of 2015 tipping to 23.5 per cent. A majority of which was accumulated by Solar and wind turbines. The question is are there more efficient approaches unturned? Of course there is! Like any technology there is a continuous cycle of groundbreaking materials and design built using pre-existing materials and technologies to create...
As a result from the continuing development amongst storage and smart technology combined with the plummeting costs in renewable energy, a new survey has revelled that the UK could generate over 80% of it’s electricity supply purely though solar, tidal and wind generation. The research arrives during the same week that Mr Cameron controversially agreed the go ahead to a...
The program works through inviting bids in exchange for contracts for renewable energy developers. Inevitably the lowest bidders usually capture government backing. As a result developers are having their hands forced into offering the most efficient economy projects, as they are fully aware that only these schemes will progress. Only very recently IRENA published a report labeled Renewable Energy Auctions...
The scheme could be powered using Tunisian sunshine by 2018, composing sufficient energy for approximately 2.5 million UK dwellings. The TuNur program is lining up a move to distribute nearly two gigawatts of solar powered energy to Britain. However that is only on the condition that the organization can tie up a contract for difference with the UK government. As...
Ed Davey, The UK Energy Minister expressed that compromise should be available towards enhancing energy efficiency 30% by 2030 of which EU members plan to discuss as of next week. The focus for Europe to reach a minimum renewable energy market share of 27% by 2030 has been described by many as a nice compromise from the EU. It means it...
Over much talk surrounding renewable energy, the big question is how has it been doing here in the UK? It may surprise you that renewable energy contributed to a 5th of our UK power during the first 3 months of 2014. That being a product from rainfall, heavy winds and a surge in wind farm and solar construction. Recent Government...
