October 10, 2018
As Europe ramps up its investment in wind power, turbines have bloomed like wildflowers across the continent. Wind-energy production has more than doubled — from 150 terawatt-hours in 2010 to 364 terawatt-hours in 2017 — and now makes up more than 11 percent of the European Union’s electricity, according to a report by Agora Energiewende and Sandbag.

New Power Generation: Why America’s Largest Electric Utility Is Adding Renewables To Its Energy Mix

June 28, 2018
Electric power was still a luxury few could afford when American industrialist James Buchanan Duke and his partners decided to build a clever system of lakes and dams on the Catawba River, which runs through the Carolinas. Their first power station, which came online in 1904, used the river’s bottled-up energy to generate a meager 6,600 kilowatts.

The Rise Of The Hybrids: This Plant Combines Wind And Solar Power To Keep Renewable Electricity Flowing

Fred Guterl
June 24, 2018

Dan Juhl was building a wind farm in Woodstock, Minnesota, back in 1998, and he’d hit a snag. He needed to supply electricity to a small office building for the farm’s engineers and operators, but he couldn’t afford the local utility’s fees for hooking the building up to the grid. He could tap the wind turbines, but then how would he keep the lights on through the summer doldrums, when the wind dies down for days or weeks at a time? The solution seemed obvious: use solar panels to complement the wind.
