Terra-Gen Power LLC, a company specialized in renewable energy, has recently inaugurated the place where will be built the world’s largest wind power site. It will be located in central California and the project will generate about 1,550 megawatts of wind power. With the support of investment group ArcLight Capital, Terra-Gen hopes this wind farm, [...]

In November 2009 a wind turbine complex on the Zhemo Mountain in the outskirts of Dali makes China the world’s third largest wind power producer. According to Shi Lishan, vice director of the National Energy Administration’s New Energy Department the giant wind turbine complex will generate about 20 gigawatts this year. After the Germany and [...]

Capital Wind Farm was officially launched by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, NSW Premier Nathan Rees and Minister for Climate Change, Senator Penny Wong yesterday. The Capital Wind Farm, the largest wind farm in New South Wales, is situated in Bungendore and will boost Australia’s wind power capacity by more than 10 per cent.

The pumped hydro storage technology is already developed in a large scale. Riverbank Power, a new start-up founded by a former wind developer has a new idea. It wants to develop large-scale energy storage by using hills down onto the ground.

China’s officials said that until 2020, the country will build a huge wind farm in the northwest, having an energy capacity similar to the gigantic Three Gorges Dam. Feng Jianshen, a vice governor of Gansu province, told reporters that the province planned to expand the installed capacity of its wind power base to more than [...]
