February 12, 2021 Many of us might assume that the reason so much energy still comes from gas and coal power plants is simple economics: those fuels are cheaper. But though it was once true, that assumption has actually been obliterated by a recent decline in solar and wind costs over the past decade. When it comes to the cost of energy from new power plants, onshore wind and solar are now the cheapest sources—costing less than gas, geothermal, coal, or nuclear. Solar, in particular, has chea...

Electricity from wind and solar more economical than nuclear — IES Listen to article The Institute for Energy Security (IES) has revealed that generating electricity from wind and solar is cost-effective than nuclear. The institute’s analysis of data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and financial advisory and asset management firm Lazard, indicates that there are potential savings by generating electricity from renewables compared to nuclear power. According to the In...

+ The Institute for Energy Security (IES) has described as ‘wasteful and ill-advised’ government’s decision to change its energy baseload. According to the Institute, government trying to introduce nuclear into the country’s energy mix is of concern considering that countries like Italy, Spain, and Germany among others are moving away from it due to its complication. “The institute sees the push for nuclear power as backward, given that times have changed to favour solar and wind ener...

Solar power got cheap. So why aren’t we using it more? Ula Chrobak © Provided by Popular Science Solar panels have gotten more efficient—and cheaper—without you even realizing. Many of us might assume that the reason so much energy still comes from gas and coal power plants is simple economics: those fuels are cheaper. But though it was once true, that assumption has actually been obliterated by a recent decline in solar and wind costs over the past decade. When it come...

74 views Gulf Oil & Gas Siemens Gamesa’s global partnership with leading electricity supplier Engie has grown stronger following the signing of a 434 MW contract to supply the benchmark Siemens Gamesa 5.X onshore platform to the Santo Agostinho wind farm located in the north-east Rio Grande do Norte state. The contract is to supply 70 SG 5.8-170 turbines with OptimaFlex technology, enhanced to operate at 6.2 MW. This turbine boasts one of the highest power ratings in the onshore market, and a...

Deploying the technological advancement embodied in the patent into the turbine design process will reduce the turbines mass and cost, increase speed to market, and reduce manufacturing and installation costs. Steve Taber, the inventor of technology and co-founder of the Princeton Energy Group, indicates, "the improved turbine performance will result in a 5-10% projected CapEx advantage. Since wind-generated electricity is dominated by CapEx (not OpEx), this CapEx advantage goes almost directly...
