Sea trials under way for wind-powered sail in bid to
The Government, which provided funding for the project, estimates that up to 40,000 ships could use wind power, according to the university. Di Gilpin, the chief executive of Smart Green Shipping which developed the wing-sail, said it is the "race of our lives" to face the climate and nature emergency, and if all ships who could use wind do
Offshore wind power
The proposed wind farm, with a capacity of up to 1,000MW, would produce enough electricity to meet Jersey''s needs with any extra power being exported. In April 2024, the States Assembly agreed that: Jersey should pursue the opportunities arising from the development of offshore wind in the south-west of its territorial waters
Project Overview
Project Overview The Guernsey Power Station is a 1,875 megawatt, natural gas fired energy generation facility that produces electricity roughly equivalent to serve the power needs of approximately 1.4 million homes. Guernsey Power Station is located in southern Guernsey County in Southeastern Ohio, in the heart of the state''s Utica and Marcellus shale

UK: From pioneer of coal-fired electricity to
In 2023, 47.3% of power came from renewables, with 28.7% from wind alone, with the rest from other sources such as solar, hydro, biomass, while 36.3% was from fossil fuels, mostly gas, at 34.3%. Low carbon power, renewables and nuclear, accounted for 61.5% of
Britain''s wind turbines break new generation record
1 天前· Onshore and offshore wind farms set a record of more than 22.5 gigawatts (GW) of power on Wednesday, providing 68.3% of the country''s electricity. The data from the National Electricity System Operator (Neso) show the new record was set just days after wind power generated more than 22GW for the first time, with 22.4GW recorded on Sunday.
''Unfavourable'' weather hits wind power production at SSE
Energy company SSE doubled down on its outlook for the year even as poor weather conditions and delays to a wind farm hit power production at the company''s renewables arm. SSE said it has seen a big drop in production from its onshore wind farms, down from 1.2 terawatt hours (TWh) in the first six months of last year to 788 gigawatt hours (GWh).
Time to act over wind power
Plans for a wind farm off Jersey continue apace and Guernsey remains very much in the other island''s thoughts, despite repeated references to the critical vibes which emerged in September''s electricity strategy debate when someone suggested the two islands could work more closely together on matters electric.

Guernsey Could Make Millions From Wind Farm
Even if we push this forward as quickly as possible the wind farm will still take up to 12 years to start generating power. Although, significant option and lease fees can still be earned by Guernsey while the wind farm is being developed." The three Scoping Reports are being presented to the Policy and Resources Committee.
Guernsey''s wind farm proposals move step closer

Fact check: Many wind power auctions set prices below
If they win a contract, the builders of solar and wind farms are promised that during the lifetime of the contract they will be paid a fixed price for every megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity they produce. This fixed price is called a "strike price". Companies are therefore reassured that if electricity prices fall in the future, they will remain protected – they will still be

UK gets nine new offshore wind farms after latest green power
The nine new projects compare to none last year, and include what will be Europe''s largest and second-largest wind farm projects – Hornsea 3 and Hornsea 4 off the Yorkshire coast. They are part of a new wave of green power projects including onshore wind and solar farms, which officials said will generate enough power for 11 million homes.
UK renewables auction brings 9.6GW of clean power projects
It also includes a combined 115 solar and onshore wind projects, which is more than the total number of projects delivered in the last auction round. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said the new clean power projects would generate enough electricity to power 11 million homes.
Island has ''incredible potential'' for exploiting offshore wind
Dr Mark Leybourne is returning to his home island of Jersey from Washington DC, where he worked at the World Bank. There, over the course of four years, he helped 26 governments worldwide to create plans to use power generated by wind farms as their main source of energy. ''Guernsey has an incredible potential for offshore wind,'' he said
Heat pumps powered by community wind turbines could
Community energy schemes using onshore wind to power heat pumps could cut household bills by more than a quarter compared to gas, a report suggests.
