Renewable Energy and Cooling Technologies Key to Reduce Water Use in India’s Power Sector
Abu Dhabi, UAE – A new policy brief co-authored by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the World Resources Institute (WRI) finds that increasing the share of renewables, in particular solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind, in India’s power mix, and implementing changes in cooling technologies mandated for thermal power plants would not only lower carbon emissions intensity, but also substantially reduce water withdrawal and consumption intensity of power generation. The brief, W...
REPORT: Untapped Energy in US Wind Fleet Could Power 1.1M Homes
CHICAGO—The current U.S. wind fleet could produce an estimated 12 terawatt hours (TWh) more energy—enough untapped energy to power roughly 1.1 million homes—according to a new report by Uptake, an advanced analytics software company. That’s equal to nearly all the homes in the city of Chicago. “Current wind turbines can produce much more energy than they do today,” said Sonny Garg, global energy solutions lead for Uptake. “With the ability to predict problems before they happen, the potential...
