LePage seeks wind changes before supporting energy bill compromise
05/24/2013
AUGUSTA -- Gov. Paul LePage is withholding support for a compromise bill being worked out by the Legislature's Energy Committee that's aimed at expanding Maine's natural gas infrastructure, boosting funding for energy efficiency, directly lowering businesses' electricity costs and making it more affordable for residents to abandon oil heat. LePage won't support the bill unless it also requires wind developers prove their projects will lower electricity costs in order to receive state approval and raises the 100-megawatt limit energy generation facilities must meet so they can count toward the state's renewable energy goals, according to Patrick Woodcock, who directs LePage's energy office. |

Positive energy: how Google is pioneering corporate access to renewables
05/24/2013
Nestled in the shadow of the iconic Blue Ridge Mountains some 190 miles west of the state capital of Raleigh, the unassuming town of Lenoir, North Carolina, is a living monument to the accelerated pace of technological change that has characterised American industry during the past quarter of a century. Once a flourishing factory town serving the US furniture industry, the cacophony of noise emanating from Lenoir's carpentry mills has long since been replaced by the barely audible hum generated by row after row of servers housed inside Google's $1.2bn data centre. Constructed in 2007 and home to 110 employees and contractors, the 215-acre facility - one of six such server farms in the US - houses computer systems and associated components that support Google Search, Gmail, Google+ and YouTube. |

AfDB powering a climate-smart and greener continent
05/24/2013
/ PRNewswire Africa / - For the African Development Bank's Energy, Environment and Climate Change Department, transforming Africa means powering a climate-smart and greener continent. It entails supporting transformative infrastructure projects to increase energy access backed by both large-scale and off-grid solutions, promoting sustainable use of natural resources, supporting climate-resilience with concessional climate and environmental finance, and ensuring that all projects comply with international and social best practices. Some energy projects are large-scale transformative projects. They involve blending public and private capital with the help of concessional climate and environmental finance and diversifying the energy mix to include clean and renewable energy sources such as hydro (e.g Inga in Democratic Republic of Congo), geothermal (e.g. Rift Valley) or wind and solar power (e.g. in Morocco). |
