Colombia's renewables share rises to 82% in March

 

Colombia produced 81.57% of its power from clean and renewable energy sources in March, XM Compania de Expertos en Mercados, operator of the national interconnected system (SIN), said.

In February, the clean share in the total power production was 72.61%.

Clean power plants generated 159.51 GWh per day on average in March, up by 8.74% month-on-month, with large and small hydro driving 97.9% of the output. Hydropower plants (HPPs) benefited from the impact of the La Nina phenomenon throughout the month, XM said.

More production details are given in the table below:

Power production from fossil fuels was down by 34.87% compared to February.

Total electricity generation averaged 195.55 GWh per day, a decrease of 3.20% month-on-month which XM attributed to Holy Week festivities in March.

Uzbekistan’s hydropower potential to boost RES energy balance with EU help

  Uzbekistan’s hydropower potential is growing, and the Central Asian country is looking to boost energy efficiency and increase renewable energy’s share in the country’s energy mix with the help of the European Union, the chairman of Uzbekistan’s state hydropower producer and developer, Uzbekhydroenergo,  Abdugani Sanginov , told New Europe in an exclusive interview. “Hydropower is a renewable energy source and, in this regard, an increase in the share of hydropower in the energy balance of the Republic of Uzbekistan will help reduce the effects of climate change,” Sanginov said, adding that the technically feasible hydropower potential of Uzbekistan is estimated at 27.4 billion kWh per year and currently only 24% of this potential is used. Asked what role the EU can play in supporting renewable energy in Uzbekistan, the Uzbekhydroenergo Chairman said, “The European Union can play an important role in supporting RES in Uzbekistan by providing grants and soft loans for the dev...

Bill Gates-led Fund Invests in Startup That Built a New Hydropower Turbine

                                           https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/ Hydropower—converting moving water into energy—is the single biggest source of clean power in the world, but relies on a 200-year-old technology that hasn't changed all that much. Natel Energy Inc., a California-based hydro power startup, has developed a new turbine that updates that technology, and now the company is raising $11 million in a funding round led by Schneider Electric Ventures and Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a fund helmed by Bill Gates. The turbine lowers the construction cost of power plants, because it requires less cement and steel. It also allows for safer passage for fish, which has become a stringent environmental regulation for these types of projects in both the U.S. and Europe. Natel Energy was started by two engineers and siblings, Gia a...

Something You May Want To Know About Hydropower Dams Published on November 13, 2019

                                    https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com   A  hydroelectric dam  is one of the major components of a hydroelectric facility. A dam is a large, man-made structure built to contain some body of water. In addition to construction for the purpose of producing hydroelectric power, dams are created to control river flow and regulate flooding In some rivers, small scale dams known as weirs are built to control and measure water flow. Dams fall into the category of retaining structures, or structures that are built to create large standing bodies of water known as reserviors These reservoirs can be used for irrigation, electrical generation, or water supply. These structures are built on top of riverbeds and hold back water, raising the water level. Dikes can be built along with the dam to increase the dams effectiv...
