NEW York-developers and financiers invested $1.9 trillion build clean energy power plants worldwide from 2012 to 2018 as demand for electricity rises, according to the Pew Charitable trusts.
Development costs for solar and wind farms and other types of renewable energy assets rising to $327 billion in 2018 by about $200 billion in the last year, according to a report, which is now published on the Bank's website.
These numbers can increase even more if Governments to create national energy policy, contain the obligations for renewables, Phyllis Cuttino, Director of Pew said clean energy program in Washington, yesterday in a telephone interview. The incentives should give duration defined clarity of the industry.
The "political role", she said. "You've got to have a renewable energies target or a standard. Or something in the tax code. Or to remove market obstacles. There are several guidelines that you can use to get there, but you have to do something. You can have not only no national energy policy."
Global energy consumption is expected to increase by 47 percent by 2010 to 2035 and investments in the renewable energy industry can $5.9 trillion in the same period the Pike research LLC was prepared according to the report, approach.
"" "" Said industry has clearly given us, "what we need is we need to have certainty," said Cuttino. "It was an unequal playing field, tilted in favor of established technologies. And we need to get over the hump."

Phoenix Rising: Renewable energy good news comes to light after Hurricane sandy
Thursday, November 22, 2012
Nashua, NH-as sandy devastated parts of North America three weeks ago, hundreds of current wealth generation were threatened. According to SNL, there were energy, 731 operational power stations above 10 MW or greater in the path of the storm. These facilities 20 nuclear power stations, 80 coal plants, 237 gas power plants and 394 plants of various other types of fuel, hydro power, solar energy, biomass and wind were power plants including.
Although Sandy left many customers in the dark, most of the power outages were to actual generating assets caused by distribution and transmission line damage rather than damage. In other words, were ramped at least three nuclear power plants on "Grid overload-garde", SNL, also, that a nuclear power plant, the Exelon's Oyster Creek in New Jersey reported an emergency declared said event during the storm, due to flooding of the work of the circulating water system. The emergency event was the third heaviest on the NRC event matrix.
How to survivors through the rubble and hit the hardest work seven restore a semblance of life, which they had before the storm, be we all remembered the power of mother nature and his ability to destroy, what man has several decades building. The damage that left behind by the storm many people request for further use "safer" forms of energy and meaningful measures to combat climate change.
Renewable energy takes both calls. Reducing our dependence on CO2 will serve spouting fossil fuel-fired power plants reduce the alarming pollution that our planet has been warming since the industrial revolution has. In addition, the renewable energy systems are strong, safe and resistant to damage.
We offer here a few tidbits of the encouraging news for renewable energy. Here many people are still suffering from the damage the storm caused one to inspire six ideas.
Caribbean and southeastern coast wind turbine rate even with sandy
Barely a week after Hurricane sandy, Northern power systems, that 74 of its wind turbines, including three in the Caribbean, was announced on the path the hurricane sandy and were not damaged by the high winds. According to Irene, a category 3 hurricane that hit Sandy was the second powerful Atlantic in 2011 storm, Northern power turbines within one year hit and run all turbines affected easily as expected.
"The losses from Hurricane Sandy experienced that how powerful nature can be a tragic reminder," said Troy Patton, Northern power systems President and CEO. "Directly into the path of many of our turbines on the East coast of the United States, the Caribbean, were the hurricane Sandy but none were damaged by the high winds. We have Northern power systems continue to produce the experience and commitment, which are safe and reliable."
As evidence for the design of the Northern power turbines of as soon as each turbine Sandys hurricane winds, recognized it entered automatically in safe mode. Conditions returned to normal, electricity resumed each turbine, the company said.

13 K jobs adds solar industry 13.2 percent, growing
Monday, November 12, 2012
Salt Lake City, UT--news of jobs is always a good thing. But if that news just happens on a segment as a conflict-prone with challenges such as the solar industry applied, crosses the line from good to great. Today the solar Foundation (TSF) encouraging statistics announced the show, despite the recent setbacks and reports of layoffs, US solare industry builds on a clip almost six times that of the economy as a whole,.
According to the TSF national solar jobs census in 2012 US solare industry added 13.872 jobs between September 2011 and September 2012. What is the total number of employees of solar industry workers to 119.016, this jump is 13.2 increase in employment. In comparison, 2.3 percent came slow the economy as a whole during the same period, according to information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics along.
In a press release of TSF, Executive Director Andrea gap said "The solar industry at significantly higher prices than in most other industries in recent years what grew it into one of the most important creators of new jobs in the United States." "These new solar industry jobs are sustainable, can not be outsourced and play a crucial role in our country to economic recovery."
Rhone Resch, President and CEO of the Washington, D.C.-based non-profit solar energy industries Association (SEIA), said: "The solar industry jobs in America create when we need it the most." "The rapid growth of jobs in the solar industry shows are clear that investment tax credit, Americans put intelligent policy, including the Federal Republic back to work."
Query information from the voluntary online census, of the more than 1,000 solar companies, provided also illuminating information with regard to the main driving factors behind the growth industry in. Most of the participants cited almost a third, falling prices for solar components as an important engine of growth. Others referred to tax incentives and State legislation allows third-party property as well as the adoption of renewable portfolio to promote increased production of solar energy standards.
"This is what happens when the Government provides a stable political environment," added Resch. "The private industry does, what it does best to create new jobs for Americans."
Monique Hanis, spokesperson for SEIA, strong said continued growth of the U.S. solar industry on the protection and the extension of the successful State and federal policy, additional funding for solar projects and operations will hinge.
Public perception about the State of the solar industry is another factor for the growth of vital importance and has been under the microscope recently, due to the recent reports of layoffs come - but HANIS points out, the solar companies most of the layoffs in the manufacturing sector, which accounts for a small percentage of all solar jobs have been affected. Census TSF 2011 solar, this percentage was less than 14 percent.
"This is similar to other industries, which have developed over time," HANIS said. "We have seen this in the automotive industry, in the computer industry, IT and telecommunications." It is a natural development as an industry matures. "You going to to see consolidation in some sectors."
Currently, total installed solar capacity in the United States adds up to 5.7 gigawatts (5,700 megawatts). Until the end of 2012, it is expected that a further 3.2 gigawatt almost doubled last year's growth are added. Estimated 2013 in addition a further 3.9 gigawatts will see solar capacity in the United States
Under the direction of TSF and BW research with help from Cornell University, contain the numbers that the national solar jobs census 2012 a variety of jobs in the solar industry for a total of 31 different professions, including manufacturing, sales, installation and software development collected by. The full report will be published probably on November 14.

Mexico's sunny Sonora State promotes solar PV growth
Sunday, November 11, 2012
Say Hermosillo, Sonora-Mexico's Sonora State, which has the highest rate of sunlight in North America, consistently works to promote photovoltaic research, electricity generation and lines for the demand within the Member State, as well as for export, several heads of State.
Last week in Hermosillo, Sonora announced State Governor Guillermo Padrés Elias Sonora a new national solar research center that would host Centro Mexicano de Innovación en Energía solar, the $25 million in financing would receive. Padrés has organized on the 19th annual border energy Forum, the announcement here of the Texas Land Office. The new Centre will allow cooperation between 49 educational institutions, private sector solar companies and Government institutions.
In the same place, Padrés confirms a letter of intent with SunEdison for a 50-MW PV system. He also noted that France Heliotrope soon an $867 million concentration solar system within the State, in order given by the National Agency for Comision Federal de Electricidad, CFE would install.
Among other new PV projects developed in the State is a $75 million 22 MW solar Park along the 60-mile road from the State capital Hermosillo to Bahía de Kino is to be positioned on the sea of Cortez. As well, "the State Government, which to build city of knowledge in an integrated and sustainable urban real estate development, universities, housing and a 10 MW solar Park will host" plant after State Secretary of economic development, Moisés Gómez Reyna.
And Mexico's first solar-powered treatment plant, Los Alisos, use a 902-kW grid-connected PV system in Nogales, Sonora, to supply the system full energy demand, to María Elena Giner, general manager of the border cooperation environmental Commission, based in Juarez, Chihuahua State. Giner, spoke also at the border energy forum.
During much of the solar energy produced how to use Bimbo, Wal-Mart and other companies within the State by CFE and private sector buyers, for Reyna, the potential for power in the United States growing export. "Border States in Mexico, renewable energy sources have on betting since 2005 been." We want to be considered provider of wind and solar power within the country and to our foreign neighbors, "he said recently in response to questions from the world of renewable energy."
"Sonora has State land available for rent or lease, which can be used by private solar power plant developers, although it is important to mention that it said also land availability, which is privately owned," Reyna. The private sector has given the opportunity, and it is the State in the development also drives the infrastructure for this purpose. "Currently, no power line crossing have Sonora to Arizona, but energy, exports in the State vision to develop of the renewable sector are included," he said.
Cross-border transmission line infrastructure is now a key project, he noted. "This is done now;" There are private projects, which do business with shared network owners, to develop solar power plants. Business plans will be discussed and negotiated, proof of a current dynamism of this sector. On the other hand under the last Sonora-Arizona Commission on the absence of a line to export/import of energy, we started working and we constituted a Taskforce, CFE, the Secretary of State for economy, the Secretary General of the Government Affairs and U.S. Government representatives, including the Arizona State Government. "This team will identify and keep track of the steps they need to take to build this infrastructure," said Reyna.
New transmission links export solar generated electricity in several U.S. States of Sonora, will enable calculated Reyna. "The energy corridor in Mexico is very well across the country and has the ability, with solar or wind is generated in addition to the amount of CFE already produced will be fed." The current network are the opposite no constraint, rather, as new investments in the infrastructure for the near future are planned. "Baja California soon the rest of the Mexican transmission lines connected is Sonora not just to export to Arizona, but in the United States enable", he said.
Federal has already started cooperation between Mexico and the United States in this effort. "The United States and Mexico could cross border electricity task force will certainly grow one way, the energy sector in the State of Sonora and the Arizona-Sonora region evolve, because it would be possible to further projects in Sonora will be installed"

Renewable energy industry weighs for Obama win
Saturday, November 10, 2012
Salt Lake City, UT--with the 2012 election over and President Barack Obama secured re-election, producers of renewable energy already provided search us, what they expect will be four more years of more support for their efforts.
A collective sigh of relief
According to Ed Feo, co-founder of USRG renewable finance (USRGRF), the last night of Obama brings victory "a continuation of politics, which are favourable to renewable energy." FEO is also, that one of the most important imminent expiration of wind power emits production tax credit on December 31 to the hand as one, as a consequence of the election result will probably robust support. "I think that will promote Obama management for the" FEO said.
FEO is not the only one that Obama to take victory as a new breath of life for a group of industries is 2012 can be occurred which during certain points concerning future during the election campaign. For Scott Sklar, President of the Stella group, the Obama has re-election "consequential positive impact on growth and development of the U.S.-energy efficiency and renewable energy."
"The President clean energy, one of the best three planks of his Administration has made," said Sklar in a press release today. "The President has extension of the wind energy production tax credit, supports, while his opponents the extension against and green jobs called, 'Imagination'." Sklar is forecasting double-digit growth in the market overall renewable energy as a result of ongoing procurement for energy efficiency of federal and national Governments, and shows announced report, the $282 billion of global private investments in 2012, as evidence of massive worldwide interest in renewables status on the this year's REN21 renewables global.
Industry experts give renewed hope
Rhone Resch, CEO of the solar energy industries Association (SEIA), shares the Sklar optimism and gets Obama "huge trailer of solar energy." Resch sees a continuation of support for solar power from the Obama management, he says that this significantly, the industry has been job growth. "Today, the solar industry employs more than 119,000 Americans at 5,600 companies, mostly small businesses in all 50 States - which is more than twice as many Americans in solar in 2009 work" Resch said in a press release published today.
Resch added that since Obama of the election in 2008, "the height the solar vehicle drive real estate, businesses and military bases of 1,100 megawatts in 2008 on more than 400 percent today - has 5,700 megawatts." "The Government issued a policy to allow the solar systems for the first time on public lands and target a large drivers of this growth was used to allow additional renewable energy projects on public land, to 10 gigawatts by the end of 2012." Resch cited also that figures show U.S. solar installations in 2012 will be "another year of record growth" for the solar industry.
Finding support from both sides of the political corridor, Denise Bode, CEO who was American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), which recently reported in 2012, the most profitable year for the U.S. wind industry, pointed to the last night renewal House representative Dave Reichert (R - WA), Steve King (R - IA), Tom Latham (R - IA) and Senator Dean Heller (R - NV) as positive steps for the wind industry. All four have offered support to the wind energy initiatives and potentially critical player for the extension of the PTC. "We saw election results, to authorize the Americans with an overwhelming majority of wind energy, and they vote for politicians who support them in the" bode said.
Addressing certain hurdles, the still in the way of the wind energy PTC's extension also lack of commitment under leadership in the House of representatives and suggestions that the PTC can only be extended if the tax credit finally expiring on agreement is available, said bode, "wind power will forever need a tax credit not." Bode added, "when the production tax credit for wind, wind support are the only energy source without federal income tax and that would be bad policy." Bode and the AWEA remain nevertheless optimistic that Obama provides the re-election, that the necessary leadership to ensure government support continued.
"We have more work to do"
Echo of Obama the words during his victory speech in Chicago last night - where the President "we have declared supporters, to do a lot" - FEO pointed out, that although profits are made, there is more to support the renewable energy initiatives to be carried out. "We need to expand financing instruments that represent other sectors - such as master limited partnerships - on renewable energy," said FEO.
Also, FEO stressed the need for investment in renewable energy by extending an incentive and continuous support the credit control systems such as PTC, and the investment tax credit (ITC) - the latter of which is planned, to see a significant decline in percentage terms at the end of 2016. "I think the Obama administration will push to extend or retain some support," said FEO.
Perhaps as a sign that it is not only the area of which, continued coal shares renewable energy that takes Obama seriously on his intention, the pursuit of more clean energy initiatives a steep jump on Wednesday after the election results. This news is no surprise that consciously the Obama plans stricter rules for oil and coal producers in his second term, including new EPA forced limits on CO2 emissions for coal-powered power plants, and even stricter restrictions on mercury and sulphur dioxide, is expected which to cause a sharp rise in the cost of the combustion of coal.

Solyndra sues Suntech claims the solar antitrust conspiracy
Sunday, October 14, 2012
SAN FRANCISCO--Solyndra LLC, the bankruptcy of solar-panel maker, received a $535 million loan guarantee U.S. Government, threw to destroy Suntech Power Holdings Co. and other Chinese companies by running an illegal cartel.
Solyndra, the protection of creditors in August 2011 sought compensation searches "for the loss of the $1.5 billion value his business and more which defendant destroyed", said filed yesterday in Federal Court in San Francisco lawyers for the firm in a complaint.
The Fremont, California said the defendants with each other, suppliers of raw materials and certain lenders, to flood the U.S. solar market with solar panels at prices below the cost intrigiert, enterprises in the complaint. Solyndra says Panel prices for Suntech, the largest manufacturer of solar panel and the other two companies in tandem, falling 75 percent in four years in the US market.
Suntech and Yingli Green energy holding co., and Trina solar Ltd. has the money from American investors in the application through the sale of Depositary Shares American competitors like Solyndra, to destroy.
An energy trade association, China's energy management, Chinese banks and Chinese polysilicon manufacturers are named as co-conspirators in the lawsuit.
The U.S. Department of Commerce noted that Yingli, Suntech and Trina solar panels, dumped in the application.
A phone message left with Suntech Media Office in San Francisco and looking for comment on the lawsuit after regular business hours yesterday was not immediately returned.
The case is Solyndra LLC v. Suntech Power Holdings Ltd., 12-05272, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco). The bankruptcy is Solyndra LLC, 11-12799, U.S. bankruptcy court, district of Delaware (Wilmington).
Solyndra, the protection of creditors in August 2011 sought compensation searches "for the loss of the $1.5 billion value his business and more which defendant destroyed", said filed yesterday in Federal Court in San Francisco lawyers for the firm in a complaint.
The Fremont, California said the defendants with each other, suppliers of raw materials and certain lenders, to flood the U.S. solar market with solar panels at prices below the cost intrigiert, enterprises in the complaint. Solyndra says Panel prices for Suntech, the largest manufacturer of solar panel and the other two companies in tandem, falling 75 percent in four years in the US market.
Suntech and Yingli Green energy holding co., and Trina solar Ltd. has the money from American investors in the application through the sale of Depositary Shares American competitors like Solyndra, to destroy.
An energy trade association, China's energy management, Chinese banks and Chinese polysilicon manufacturers are named as co-conspirators in the lawsuit.

Two years, SunShot firm in his solar mission
Wednesday, June 20, 2012
New Hampshire, USA-Ramamoorthy Ramesh is a man in a hurry. As the Director of the Department of energy SunShot sounds initiative he the clock is ticking as the program-inch on his mission to the installed lower solar 75 percent by the end of the Decade.
The dual principles of NULL-support solar and the looming 2020 Orient goal two years in the ambitious program, Ramesh and its employees.
"There is a sense of urgency, because the stakes are so high", said that Ramesh in an interview prior to the program this week in Denver, collect Colorado
In an industry that often on a quarterly basis increased installation numbers and incremental from yesterday's share prices, efficiency judged is Ramesh's role to a holistic, long-term view of the industry, the value of which he says will extend well into the trillions of dollars. What are the challenges where the bottlenecks are and what are the technologies that solar make a free-standing industry, to produce the 15 to 18 percent of America's electricity by 2030? And how can it align better America's growing capacity with its shrinking production site?
The SunShot initiative tries the type calendar same national focus, the challenge to land a man on the Moon was called by President Kennedy until the end of the 1960s in the life. This was a movement defined by innovation and proud. The SunShot certainly not initiative will increase at this level in the national consciousness, but those political invested - from the White House later in the program – expect from mirror the moon landing of the success in linking new technologies with American production and purchasing power.
Initiative is working, the DOE's SunShot to also do this, and it is more than just the crystalline silicon panels, which currently dominates the industry view. What he is looking for, those technologies and models, the challenge with high risk, high reward folk wisdom and define the features of the US solar market.
The program with a $310 million budget for next year is planned look at lots of options: from the reduction in the cost of concentrating solar power (CSP), concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) and all kinds of thin films for their financing and policy models. But it does so in a way quite different that much maligned loan program guarantee the program. Rather than large sums of private companies to effectively scale up pump, smaller amounts of cash in national laboratories has the SunShot and academic institutions as well as private companies - installed all with the objective of reducing the solar is the bottom line.
All of this takes place against the backdrop of the political reality. Organisations such as the Heartland Institute have criticised it as another example of "solar always a handout", and it is unlikely that it would get a vote of confidence by a Romney administration. So a Watt installation in this sense is the initiative in a greater hurry to prove their effectiveness and a viable course towards its stated $1 to set goals.
In the past a number of activities, which could drive cost reduction in manufacturing, financing and installation days alone - as it announced the program for a two-year update type in Denver, geared - up. And in typical SunShot fashion, it has United in a way, the participants through a shared vision. Here are three new projects that underline the diversity of the programme approach.
Production: Competition through cooperation
