GREEDY energy giants have pushed up household bills by more than £250 a year and given their profits a multi-billion pound boost.

New research reveals today that power industry mark-ups - the difference between what firms pay for energy and the price they charge customers - rocketed by 39% for electricity and 69% for gas in the past 10 years.

The following information was released by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan (METI):

The Agency for Natural Resources and Energy (ANRE) compiled the present status of introduction for facilities generating renewable energy as of February 30, 2013, and hereby announces the results.

Europe could save €45bn by 2030 if renewable energy installations were built on sites that offer the highest power yields, according to a new study by Siemens.

ABOUT now the world has reached a significant milestone. For the first time in 2.5 million years, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is over 400 parts per million (ppm). Before the industrial revolution, it was less than 300ppm.

Does this matter? Well, the last time it was at 400ppm, there were forests in the Canadian Arctic and sea levels were 5 metres higher.

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority has issued a notification, paving the way for power distribution companies to gradually recover fuel price adjustment of past eight months from consumers, an unpopular move that may spell trouble for the incoming PML-N government.

Math guts nuclear myth- May 12

Some very significant costs associated solely with nuclear plants were omitted from the article.

During the nuclear plant's 60-year operating life, what will it cost to regularly remove, contain, transport and store (basically forever) all the radioactive waste regularly generated at the plant (i.e. spent fuel rods, containment suits, coolant, tools, etc.)?

In 2009, Coenraad van Blerk, a director of Green Hydro Power, obtained a patent from the South African patent office for an "electricity generating arrangement" but two years later Rand Water put out a tender for what he has claimed is the same thing.

At stake for Rand Water is a tender to build four hydropower plants on Johannesburg's vast hydraulic network, which could generate R43-million worth of electricity each year.

On May 6, 2013 the World Trade Organization's (WTO) Appellate Body, the highest court at the WTO, released its report with respect to Canada, Japan and the European Union's (EU) appeals against the decision made by the WTO Panel on the domestic content requirements of Ontario's Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) Program.

History of Proceedings

Ontario's domestic content requirements for the FIT Program were challenged at the WTO by Japan and the EU on the basis that they are contrary to Canada's free trade obligations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, 1994 (GATT). The WTO Panel Report of December 19, 2012, which partially ruled that the FIT Program breaches Canada's international trade obligations, was appealed by Canada, Japan and EU.

Pakistan is going through intense energy crisis and to resolve it the government should have give the solar sector a serious focus Energy crisis, especially very costly and scarce electricity is the most pressing economic problem of Pakistan and the government needs to fully utilized abundant solar energy in the country and the first steps in this regard would be turning all government buildings offices, schools, colleges, universities, healthcare centers, police stations, streetlights, railways installations, etc on total solar power.

This single step if carried out dedicatedly would not only save billions of rupees in the head of electricity bills but also help in provision of more electricity to domestic sector and industry, thus denting the menace of load shedding.
