  • Renewables Bounced Back in 2010, Finds REN21 Global Report

    Updated: 2011-09-29 14:00:00
    In the last year, the world has seen many significant developments that have had an impact – both direct and indirect – on renewable energy. The global economic recession entered a new phase in 2010, marked by massive public finance crises – felt most acutely in Europe – that led several governments to announce incentive cuts for solar energy. Natural gas prices remained low, temporarily reducing the competitiveness of renewable energy. At the same time, worldwide developments highlighted the security, economic and human costs of relying so heavily on fossil and nuclear energy.

  • Brazil Soars in Clean Energy Rankings

    Updated: 2011-09-28 12:53:00
    There is an old joke that says Brazil is the country of the future – and always will be. But with rapid economic growth, the government claiming that some 40 million people have been lifted out of poverty in the past decade and the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro on the horizon, it seems the joke is about to fall flat. Brazil's time has arrived and the country of sun, sea and samba is keen to showcase itself to the world as a positive example of how to exploit renewable energy sources as well as how to perform on the football pitch.

  • Creating Canada's Next Renewable Energy Shark?

    Updated: 2011-07-06 14:02:00
    Success in the renewable energy sector is largely determined by having a large balance sheet and a small cost of capital. Small developers can do all the little things right and eventually build a large portfolio of operating projects and an attractive pipeline, but at the end of the day the big utilities will have their way. But does it have to be like this? Economics teaches us that young, fragmented industries eventually experience consolidation, but is it possible that one or more of Canada's renewable energy minnows could become a shark?
