China's wind farms are reported to have a total theoretical operating capacity of 115,000 megawatts. In comparison, Americas nuclear reactors have a total combined capacity of 98,400 megawatts. It is worth noting that capacity does not directly equal output. Instead, it represents the maximum amount of energy that could be produced under perfect conditions. Clearly, with a source as variable as the wind, th ...

Renewable power producer Mytrah Energy has secured a Rs8,527.8m ($137.5m) loan for 150MW of wind power development in India.

India's renewable power capacity is set to reach 170GW by 2022, reducing power shortages and bringing electricity to off-grid of rural communities for the first time. But it may also have an unintended consequence - cutting off investment in India's troubled coal sector as prospects for future profitability evaporate.. As wind and solar power increase, coal-fired power stations will be working for fewer hou ...

China boosted its installed wind energy capacity last year to a record 19.81 million kilowatts as the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter tries to switch its power grid to cleaner energy sources. The National Energy Administration said Thursday that wind farms produced 153.4 billion kilowatt hours of electric power in 2014, making up 2.8 percent of total generated electricity.
