A retreat from wind power could have devastating consequences, as it is set to play a pivotal role in global efforts to transition to green energy.

By the end of 2021, global renewable generation capacity amounted to 3 064 Gigawatt (GW), increasing the stock of renewable power by 9.1 per cent.

A requirement to function through a 10-day period of low/no wind and solar and to recharge storage over the succeeding 10-day period, with a 20% capacity reserve margin, would require renewable generating capacity approximately 2.4 times peak demand on the grid.

The Brent price will average $108/b in 2Q22 and $102/b in the second half of 2022 (2H22).

Nuclear's share of energy in the UK is currently about 16%, however almost half of the country's current capacity is due to be retired by 2025 and all but one of its reactors will retire by 2030.

Wind turbines last Tuesday generated over 2,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity, edging out electricity generated by nuclear and coal (but still trailing behind natural gas).

According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), the global wind capacity increased by 93.6 GW in 2021 (+12%), to 837 GW.

According to the Turkiye Climate Change Perception Report, 79% of the participants see renewable energy as a good opportunity for economic development and 75% of them favor renewables for increasing the country's exports.

Turkey produced 203,069 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity from wind farms on Saturday, according to data provided by TEIAŞ.

According to data compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for ‘Energy’ in February 2022 was 25.6% higher than in February 2021, which is more than triple the increase of the CPI for ‘All Items,’ which was 7.9% higher over the same period.

Renewable sources accounted for more than one-eighth (12.61%) of the U.S. energy produced and 12.49% of the energy consumed for electricity, transportation, heating, and other uses.

The German energy regulator Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur or BNetzA) has launched a tender for the development of 1,320 MW of onshore wind capacity.

The country currently generates around 60% of its electricity from renewables (hydropower, wind and solar) and expects to reach 80% before 2030.

The company has 2,278 MW of nuclear generation in Michigan, 450 MW of purchased wind generation from Indiana, more than 22 MW of hydro generation in both states, nearly 35 MW of large-scale solar generation in both states, and 2,620 MW of coal-fired generation in Indiana.

The Aurora project, which will be located 20 km south of Gotland and 30 km east of Öland, consist of up to 370 turbines with a maximum height of 370 meters.
