Despite the fact that Sweden has shown the highest efforts in installing new wind power plants in the previous year, it is still among those countries in Europe that generate least from this renewable energy source.

In many ways, wind energy seems an ideal energy source. Fields of mighty turbines spinning in rhythm could harness carbonless power and shuttle it off to homes and industries.

All UK homes could be powered by offshore wind farms by 2020 as part of the fight against climate change under plans unveiled by John Hutton.

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) announced the successful completion of the wind and solar power system trial conducted with the GSM Association (GSMA) on MTC Namibia’s cell site at Dordabis village in the Khomas region of Namibia.

Wind power, long considered to be as fickle as wind itself, can be groomed to become a steady, dependable source of electricity and delivered at a lower cost than at present, according to scientists at Stanford University.

Siemens Power Generation (PG) will supply its most advanced wind power technology to support New Zealand in its endeavor to build up a carbon-neutral electricity sector by 2025. State-owned Meridian Energy Ltd., New Zealand’s largest electricity producer, has ordered 62 Siemens turbines for its West Wind project, located 15 kilometers west of the state capital Wellington.

Siemens Power Generation (PG) continues to expand its manufacturing capacities for its growing wind business. PG officially celebrated the grand opening of its new wind turbine blade factory in Fort Madison, Iowa, on September 21, 2007.

The development of wind power promises much in terms of providing us with renewable energy for the future and wind turbines could be the most effective way to harness that power. Danish researchers now suggest that in order to assess the overall environmental impact of wind power, however, the finite lifespan of wind turbines and the need to replace and recycle them must be taken into account.

Pointing to the very small contribution of wind, National Wind Watch calls for conservation instead of industrialization of rural and wild landscapes

On 10th July Statoil (Norway) signed an agreement giving the company considerable interests in technology company Sway, that has developed promising solutions for floating wind turbines in deep water.

Iran is to construct three wind-based power plants in Armenia.
