I visited Little Cheyne Court today!

Ed Miliband opened this wind farm in 2009 when he was Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change and visited it 15 years later when he became Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero last year :)

The UK Set To Subsidize Onshore Renewables In 2021 For The First Time In 6 Years

The UK government is including onshore solar and wind power projects in the next renewable energy auction for the first time since 2015. It aims to double the amount of renewable energy it will subsidize by doing so. The auction will be held at the end of 2021. The last...

Current state of renewable energy

The United Nations and Bloomberg New Energy Finance recently published a report covering global trends in the renewable energy space for 2017. 

Here are some of their key findings:

- 2016 was a record year in terms of renewable power capacity installed worldwide. This includes wind, solar, biomass and waste-to-energy, geothermal, small hydro, and marine sources.

- The share of global electricity generated from renewable sources rose from 10.3% (2015) to 11.3% (2016).

- However, overall investment in renewables declined in 2016 for two main reasons. Costs went down (good news). And China and Japan exhibited a dramatic slowdown in terms of investment activity (bad news).

- Acquisitions of renewal assets, such as wind farms and solar parks, hit a new peak at $72.7 billion.

- A number of promising new pricing records set in 2016: $29.10 per MWh for solar in Chile and $30 per MWh for onshore wind in Morocco.

- In one year, the cost of solar generation dropped on average about 17% and onshore wind dropped about 18%.

Governments Still Funding CO2 Emitting Coal Despite Costs

Carbon Tracker think tank recently ran the numbers and found wind and solar is already cheaper than 60 percent of operating coal plants. The new report states coal developers are at risk of losing more than $600 billion from the fact that renewable energy is cheaper. Not only are renewables...

Global investment in new renewables capacity rose 5% in 1H 2020: BNEF

Global #investment in new #RenewableEnergy capacity rose 5% in 1H 2020: #BNEF #ClimateSamurai #Wind #Solar #renewables

Renewable energy capacity investment showed great resilience in the first half of 2020, in the face of the unprecedented economic shock caused by the coronavirus, according to the latest figures from research company BloombergNEF (BNEF).

The data, drawn from BNEF’s world-leading database of deals and projects, show that one sub-sector of renewables – offshore wind – had by far its busiest half…
