Not exact matches

South Africa plans to double national electricity output by 2035, while Europe has no such objective.

By the 2030s, offshore investment in this scenario — currently heavily weighted towards oil — is split into three roughly equal parts as oil and (to a lesser extent) gas output growth is lower than in our main scenario, while offshore electricity generation grows twice as fast and provides 4 % of global power generation by 2040.

WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: «While Sunday's weather caused disruption for many people, it also proved to be a good day for wind power output, with wind turbines alone providing the equivalent of all Scotland's total electricity needs.

While total output from low carbon technologies, such as hydro, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and nuclear power, has continued to grow, their share of global primary energy supply has remained relatively constant; fossil fuels have maintained their dominance and carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has yet to be applied to electricity production at scale.

While some of these facilities may be able to adjust their output to a limited degree, these manoeuvres typically take place when total demand for electricity is forecast to be less than the usual output from these baseload generators.

Specifically, the two turbines have been increased from 8.4 MW to 8.8 MW, which in turn increases EOWDC's output to 93.2 MW, and as such it will generate 70 % of Aberdeen's domestic electricity demand while displacing 134,128 tonnes of CO2 annually.

Shell is one of the nation's top five generators of wind power, while BP's Alternative Energy group — launched 16 months ago — aims to develop projects that produce 550 megawatts of electricity this year, one - sixth of the projected US wind energy output in 2007.

The idea is that situating two or more of them together not only increases the electricity output from each hectare of land while sharing one grid connection, but also reduces overall intermittency and operating costs.

This is true, but per average kilowatt of output, solar is much better at meeting demand than nuclear as it is load following, producing electricity during the day when demand is higher, while nuclear output is as constant as possible and is not dispatchable.

And while electricity output will be slightly compromised, the trade off of demonstrating to the public that renewables and conservation can exist hand - in - hand is surely worth a slightly lower yield.

Big Coal says that capturing and storing CO2 from these new coal plants is a slam - dunk technology — but one that's not quite ready for prime time yet (capturing CO2 from existing combustion coal plants, while possible, is expensive and cuts the electricity output of the plant by as much as 30 percent).

Gas and gas / oil duel - fuel generators accounted for 44 % of NYISO electricity output in 2015, while nuclear generated 31 %, and hydropower (mostly imported from Canada) accounted for 18 %.

While nuclear, imported hydropower and renewables made up more than half of the state's generation output in 2015, regulators are concerned low - priced natural gas generation would replace retiring nuclear plants in electricity markets, raising emissions and putting the goal in doubt.
