The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and Greenpeace International have released the 2014 edition of the Global Wind Energy Outlook in Beijing. The report shows that wind power could reach 2,000 GW by 2030, and supply up to 17-19% of global electricity, creating over 2 million new jobs and reducing
Allied Fiber, the United States’ first open-access, integrated, network-neutral colocation and dark fiber superstructure, has announced that Summit Broadband, a regional service provider headquartered in Orlando, Florida, a subsidiary of Cable Bahamas, has executed a 20-year Indefeasible Right of Us
In the last months, SCHOTTEL successfully tested its hydrokinetic turbines in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland. The full-scale tests included 260 operating hours under realistic conditions. One turbine with a rotor diameter of four meters generates 50 kW per second at a rated water velocity of 2.7
