Siemens launches new 6-MW direct drive offshore wind turbine

Siemens Energy recently launched its new 6-megawatt direct drive wind turbine at the European Offshore Wind Energy Conference in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The new SWT-6.0 will be available with rotor diameters of 120 and 154 meters and is designed for the most challenging offshore sites.
U.S. has large geothermal resources, but recent growth is slower than wind or solar

Geothermal is one of the main renewable energy sources used to generate U.S. electricity, even though its growth has not been as strong as wind and solar over the last three years during a big push to increase generation from renewables.
Tiny solar cell could make a big difference

How small can a solar cell be and still be a powerhouse? How about six hundred microns wide — about the diameter of a dot made by a ballpoint pen?
Electric utility efficiency program results, budgets steadily growing, new report shows

Electric energy efficiency savings are on a growth path in the U.S., and electric utilities are a major force behind the trend. The findings come from a new report published by the Institute for Electric Efficiency.

Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

From reducing petroleum consumption by 2% each year to planning net-zero buildings by 2020, energy efficiency and renewable energy adaptation are central to the comprehensive requirements of Executive Order 13514. This section contains resources about renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.
