Britain will have excess electricity supplies for more than half of the year by 2030 as a huge expansion of wind and solar power transforms the energy system, a new analysis suggests. Energy storage technologies, including batteries and electrolysers to make hydrogen, will need to be deployed at massive scale Read more

The pioneering 50MW Kincardine floating wind farm off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland, has suffered a significant technical set back just months after it became fully operational. A major component in one of the five V164-9.5MW Vestas turbines at the site is understood to be in need of replacement. The Read more
Wind turbines spun by the airflow from passing vehicles installed on a major road in Shropshire will generate enough electricity to run all the streetlights for the nearby town in a UK first. The vertical wind turbines, invented by a British company, can harness even a moderate breeze, which they Read more
