Renewables and Efficiency

The energy company will develop two wind farms in South Lanarkshire, with the potential to power 100,000 Scottish homes with clean energy.

The partnership seeks to improve the performance of offshore facilities by substituting hydrocarbon-powered oil and gas production platforms with floating wind systems.

The city has become the first US municipality to execute a renewable power agreement under its Green Source Advantage programme.

The wind farm has an installed capacity of 350MW and consists of 64 wind turbines.

ScotWind is the next round of seabed leasing for offshore wind development off the Scottish coast – the organisations aim to develop large-scale projects which will enhance the Scottish supply chain and economy.

The electricity generated by the Western Downs Solar farm will power more than 235,000 Queensland homes.

Pop-up bike lanes, wider pavements, safer junctions and cycle and bus-only corridors will be created in the UK within weeks as part of a £250 million emergency active travel fund.

The international body said the wind industry holds the potential to create jobs, generate zero carbon renewable power and drive green investment.

A record 1,800MW of new capacity was installed across the nation in the first three months of 2020.

The organisations recommend enhancing green investments in the region in a bid to strengthen health systems and support pandemic-hit economies.
