According to researchers at Aalto University, by using suitable systems, more than 80% of heating energy for Finnish households could be produced using solar energy. As the price of heating energy obtained from solar heating systems needed to be competitive with the currently used hea...
Some 17 percent anticipate the value invested during this time will ‘increase dramatically’ while only 8 percent anticipate a decline. Over the longer term, exposure to renewables from investors will be even stronger. Between now and 2022, 75 percent of investors interviewed expect th...
Nominal rating is 4.0MW, but all will be available with a 4.2MW power mode option. Three rotor diameters are offered — 117, 136 and 150 metres. The V150-4.0/4.2MW turbine has the largest rotor diameter in its class, just four metres shorter than Siemens’ 7-8MW offshore turbine. Combin...
He will propose to increase from 27% to 35% the amount of energy from renewable sources to be reached in the EU by 2030. He will ask to reintroduce national binding targets (as they are up to 2020), which governments wanted to ditch. He will say that policies to support renewables sho...
