Finland-based Vaisala last week released a paper that compares observational data from nearly 200 ground stations across six continents with satellite-derived irradiance records from five different versions of the company’s global solar dataset.
DONG Energy last month selected SeaRoc Group’s marine management software solution for a centralized hub for UK offshore wind farm construction.
According to the latest issue of EIA's "Electric Power Monthly" (with data through Feb. 28, 2017), electrical generation by non-hydro renewables (including distributed solar PV) increased by 7.49 percent during the first two months of this year compared with the same period in 2016.

But the story about the demise of Westinghouse is more nuanced, read on to find out how and why solar killed nuclear.
