Tiny Country May Beat Virginia to the Wind Power Punch
September 28, 2015 EWPA's blog - Tuul
This week, Dominion Virginia Power said it still hoped to build a couple of wind turbines off Virginia Beach. The federal government has promised more than $50 million for planning and construction, but the utility could only find one company willing to build the demonstration project, and it wanted far more money than the firm was willing to pay. Dominion says it will seek a new round of bids early next year. Read more »
We Only Get One Planet – An American Experience with Wind Power
August 27, 2015 EWPA's blog - Tuul
How do you create jobs, drive the economy and also do the right thing by the environment? GE’s partners from the Estonian Wind Power Cluster recently visited the United States, exploring how the country is going to increase wind energy production, and examined the type of opportunities it might create for European businesses. They shared with us their views on US energy policy, a part of which is the Clean Power Plan, just launched by US President Barack Obama and the US Environmental Protection Agency.

The most distant island of Estonia is called Ruhnu where less than 60 habitants live all year round. The island does not have electricity grid connected to the mainland and relies on expensive diesel generation. Mainly for that reason but also thanks to good wind the Estonian Wind Power Cluster – a consortium working under the Estonian Wind Power Association decided to gather over 20 people and give its effort on making the island more green.
Today is Global Wind Day!
