In doing so, it will launch the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), to take decisions on cross border energy supply. ACER will draft framework guidelines for the operation of cross border electricity networks, establishing rules that are consistent with these guidelines, the Commission said. Its role will be to monitor the newly managed internal European electricity market, including retail prices, available network access for electricity produced from renewable sources.

Implementing the Power VI plan approved by the Government, the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) is striving to accelerate the construction and complete the whole Son La hydropower project (capacity of 2,400 MW) at the end of 2012. In the short term, in 2011, EVN has planned to power on unit 2 on Apr 30th; unit 3 on Aug 31st and unit 4 on Dec 31st.

Will electric car charging networks have the type of roaming commonly found between cell phone providers? If Nokia Siemens Networks– a joint venture between the European networking giants — has anything to say about it, in Europe they will. This week at Mobile World Congress (MWC), an annual telecom conference in Barcelona, Nokia Siemens and a German public utility group called Smartlab announced they are developing an authentication and authorization service to enable electric vehicle drivers to “roam” when charging up via various service providers.

Hãng Drayson và Đại học Aston sẽ phối hợp phát triển và thử nghiệm công nghệ phát thải ít carbon ở ô tô. Nhóm thực hiện sẽ nghiên cứu nhiên liệu sinh học thế hệ thứ hai được sản xuất từ chất thải sinh khối như rơm, gỗ và nước thải, từ đó sản xuất ra các loại ô tô trình diễn cao cấp, phát thải ít carbon.

Drayson Racing and Aston University have announced a collaboration to develop and demonstrate low carbon automotive technologies. The partnership will investigate 'second generation' biofuels produced from waste biomass such as straw, wood and sewage sludge to create high performance cars with reduced CO2 emissions.

Award winning Israeli company Solaris Synergy has designed solar energy grids that can float on water, reducing energy production costs, and preventing water loss. Generating energy from the sun would be more practical if not for two huge drawbacks: The expense of the silicon material that converts light to electricity, and the large tracts of land needed for solar farms.

Loại pin này sử dụng tế bào nhiên liệu sạch tiên tiến cho hiệu quả chuyển hóa hydro thành điện năng cao. PowerTrekk có thích thước nhỏ gọn có thể bỏ túi với vỏ bọc không thấm nước có thể chịu được va đập mạnh. Giải pháp pin di động mà nhà sản xuất đưa ra đó là hai trong một. Ngoài khả năng tạo điện tức thời PowerTrekk vẫn được tích hợp thêm một pin thông thường cho phép hoạt động độc lập hoặc đóng vai trò là pin tích điện.

The site allows homeowners and property developers to work out the optimum size of any solar power system they wish to install, and provides users with links to local installers. The site is designed to encourage more uptake of renewable energy in the region and to fuel job growth, according to DRCOG executive director, Jennifer Schaufele.

You might dream of living off the grid someday, but for billions of people around the world, it's a reality and not a choice. The International Energy Agency estimates that when the Earth's population exeeds 8 billion around 2030, 1.3 billion will still live without electricity. Of those, 700 million will be in Africa.

Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) Group yesterday officially started construction on the second turbine of Song Tranh 2 hydropower plant with designed capacity of 95MW. The Song Tranh 2 hydropower plant project has been conducted by EVN Group as the main investor. It's the second hydropower plant to be built on Vu Gia-Thu Bon river system. It is expected that the hydropower plant will produce annual electricity output of 679.6 million KWh to join the national grid.

Chief minister Narendra Modi on Thursday formally launched work on the 500 MW solar power park, Asia's largest such project, at Charanka village in Patan district, and expressed confidence that the park would bring a lot of benefits for the local populace and the area.

Scientists with USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) have found that barley grain can be used to produce ethanol, and the leftover byproducts-barley straw, hulls , and dried distillers grains (DDGS)-can be used to produce an energy-rich oil called bio-oil. The bio-oil could then be used either for transportation fuels or for producing heat and power needed for the grain-to-ethanol conversion. ARS is USDA's principal intramural scientific research agency, and these results support the USDA priority of developing new sources of bioenergy.

Abengoa Solar Inc. expects to start construction in mid-2011 on a plant in Arizona that will store sun-generated heat to provide six extra hours a day of electric-generating capacity. The heat creates steam that is used to turn power turbines. Abengoa's $2 billion Solana plant is expected to be the first major stored-heat plant in the U.S. when it enters service in 2013. Some already exist in Spain and a few more are on the drawing board for Nevada and California.

Ontario residents will see a 10 per cent rebate on electricity costs for the next five years, starting January 2011, the province announced on Nov. 18. The Ontario Clean Energy Benefit is intended to help Ontarians cope with rising hydro costs, Sudbury MPP Rick Bartolucci stated in a press release. "This is more than the provincial portion of the HST and will help the average family save more than $100 per year in hydro costs," he added.

Theo công bố của tỉnh Ontario (Canada) người dân Ontario sẽ được hưởng mức giảm trừ hóa đơn tiền điện 10% trong vòng 5 năm tới, bắt đầu từ tháng 1 năm 2011. Trong một thông cáo báo chí, Rick Bartolucci – thạc sĩ chính sách công quận Subury cho biết tổ chức Trợ cấp năng lượng sạch Ontario được chỉ định giúp người dân tỉnh Ontario đối phó với giá hydro ngày càng tăng cao.

The sun power industry in Germany, the world's leader in solar energy, is facing a tough year amid the threat of growing competition from Asia and falling prices. German solar-power companies rebounded last year from a dramatic slump in profit during 2009 as a boom in the sector took shape last year.

Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) Group announced that there will be additional 2 billion KWh to be supplied to national grid by Son La hydropower plant and Song Tranh 2 hydropower plant. On January 7, 2011, EVN will officially put into operation the first turbine of Son La hydropower plant after over five years of construction. At the same time, the group will also have the first turbine of Song Tranh 2 hydropower plant joined the national grid.

Sweden and Norway have agreed the bases for a common green certificate market, energy ministers for both nations said on Wednesday. A green certificate is a tradable commodity proving that a certain electricity has been produced using a renewable source of energy, such as wind, solar or hydropower. Environmental groups hope they can boost the use of renewables.

Bộ trưởng năng lượng của Thụy Điển và Na Uy cho biết hai nước đã thống nhất những nền tảng của thị trường tín chỉ xanh chung. Tín chỉ xanh là một loại chứng chỉ chứng minh rằng lượng điện năng đó đã được sản xuất từ các nguồn năng lượng tái tạo như năng lượng gió, mặt trời, hydro và có thể mua bán được. Các tổ chức môi trường hi vọng rằng chúng có thể đẩy mạnh việc sử dụng năng lượng tái tạo.

The two countries' interest in cooperation is quite natural. The Czech Republic is preparing a lucrative tender for the completion of the nuclear power plant Temelin, near the Austrian border, in which the US firm Westinghouse has expressed interest. Westinghouse has a Japanese owner but its seat and operations are in the USA. The project is worth several hundred billion crowns. Besides Westinghouse, the other bidders are Czech-Russian consortium of Skoda JS Atomstroyexport and France's Areva.
