Officials anticipate needing eight more weeks to examine whether the gas that caused an explosion in Wheatley on August 26th of last year originates from a single or multiple sources.

A state of emergency declared in Wheatley on Thursday over a gas leak has left evacuated residents and some businesses in limbo.

Ontario’s hazmat team is on scene surveying conditions following a gas leak on Erie. St. N. in Wheatley.

A state of emergency has been declared and some residents have been evacuated due to a gas leak in downtown Wheatley.

2021 Storage 100: The Data Conversation Starts Here How storage is deployed rests with solution providers assessing exactly what their customers are trying to accomplish. These 100 companies aim to be part of that discussion. By Joseph F. Kovar April 12, 2021, 11:00 AM EDT There are many choices to be made in how data will be stored, protected and managed to meet changing customer requirements. As the debate over storing data on-premises versus in the cloud con...

In innovative perovskite solar systems, the volume of solar energy that can be converted into electricity from a single solar cell has set a new world record.  The innovative cell manufactured by Oxford PV has proven itself by transforming 29.52% solar power into electricity independently. By comparison, the average convertibility rate for regular silicon cells for millions of households globally is just 15-20% and the realistic optimum conversion rate is about 26%. Solar energy is key in deca...

This has been certified by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory located in Colorado, US, according to the company, and is in comparison to the average conversion rate of silicon cells of between 15% and 20% and a practical maximum conversion rate of around 26%. The companys silicon solar cells are coated with a thin film of perovskite to better...

British company breaks record for solar power efficiency  Oxford PV sets new world record for the amount of the sun’s energy that can be converted into electricity by a single solar cell 21 December 2020 • 12:24pm An Oxford-based lab has created a photovoltaic solar cell that it says has surpassed the efficiency that silicon can ever reach.  Oxford PV, a spin-off from the University, says it has set a new world record for the amount of the sun’s energy that can be converted into electri...

Courtesy of Oxford PV The ground-breaking cell produced by Oxford PV has been independently proven to convert 29.52% of solar energy into electricity. In contrast, standard silicon cells used on millions of homes globally have an average conversion rate of just 15-20% and a practical maximum conversion rate of around 26%. Solar is crucial in decarbonizing the world’s energy supply and is predicted to provide 50% of global electricity generation by 2050.* The technology used in Oxford PV’s...
