Building the U.S. Offshore Wind Supply Chain SESSION

The U.S. Offshore Wind Collaborative and Clean Energy States Alliance hosted the first of a three-part series of webinars for state energy and environmental officials on Building the U.S. Offshore Wind Supply Chain, on Wednesday, December 1, 2010, 9:30-11 a.m. ET. For coastal and Great Lakes states working to help launch the U.S. offshore wind energy industry, the offshore wind supply chain represents an important opportunity to stimulate state and regional economic development. As states individually and regionally begin to consider their capacities to establish the complex infrastructure necessary to implement their offshore wind development strategies, there is much to be learned by looking at the experience of the world-leading UK offshore wind market. The first webinar in this series explained the components of the supply chain and lessons learned through the first two rounds of offshore wind development in the UK, providing participants with a comprehensive overview of the UK experience in offshore wind industry supply chain development.

Nigeria’s Solar Energy Market: Trends, Best Practices and Prospects

Susty Vibes

It is estimated that 600 million people living in Africa lack adequate power supply. With Sub-Saharan Africa having a combined economic growth forecast of 5%, the importance of meeting its energy and infrastructural needs cannot be overemphasised. In Nigeria, solar power systems are subtly but steadily enabling increased access to energy with the emergence of innovative business model like the pay-as-you go options and mini solar home systems but there are clearly many gaps able to be filled by enterprising business solutions.

Implementing Renewable Energy Zones for Integrated Transmission and Generation Planning

Greening the Grid

In many countries, integrating significant renewable energy to the grid requires new transmission to access the best wind and solar resources and accommodate generation from large projects. The renewable energy zone (REZ) approach provides a policy framework for planning new transmission to encourage utility-scale renewable energy development in areas that have the highest likelihood of being cost-effective. This webinar introduced the REZ approach, including the value of REZ to a power system, crucial components of the REZ process, technical approach to defining REZs using geospatial analysis, and case studies to highlight examples and key lessons for implementing REZ in other parts of the world.
