Sinovel Wind Group Co ( SHA: 601558), another leading Chinese manufacturer in large-scale onshore, offshore and inter-tidal wind turbines, reported a net loss of 280.3 million yuan during the same period.
FORBES: First Solar, Now China Wind Power In Washington's Crosshairs
The research by the University of Liverpool found that the seabirds fed in nine areas earmarked for tidal, wind or wave power developments.
The Renewable Energy Commission has also been looking at the potential for offshore tidal and wind power, which Deputy Duhamel said could play a significant role in improving the island's energy security in the future.
We need renewables -- wind, tidal -- but these are not useable in the transport sector.
The Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult centre will focus on offshore wind, tidal and wave power.
Their presence in the colder northern waters is thought to be due to wind and tidal factors.
Under the new plan, developing more expensive technologies (such as offshore wind or tidal power) will attract more money.
ECONOMIST: Nuclear power: The wind, the sun—and the atom | The
The Department for the Environment has suggested a long-term plan involving alternative energy sources, such as wind and tidal, and reducing waste.
"We simply can't compete on cost efficiency with a gas-fired plant, though I think that we will be able to compete with off-shore wind and tidal projects, " says Skilhagen.
In the next decade meeting our existing renewables and efficiency targets would safely close any "energy gap" we might face and cut emissions, while leaving plenty of potential to expand clean energy solutions like wind, tidal and solar even further later.
Compared to offshore wind farms, tidal energy devices like the turbine trialed in Scotland are completely hidden from view.
Ambitious plans for offshore renewable energy projects are crowding the waters--floating wind farms, tidal-power turbines and wave-energy barges--all expected in the next decade.
There are lots of small initiatives, either at the user end -- e.g. turning off stand-by switches, drinking tap water -- or the supply end -- e.g. wind energy, tidal energy.
The Highlands and Islands has been seen as a prime location for wind, wave and tidal power projects.
But how much more could it be when offshore wind, wave and tidal turbines are in place and generating power?
Wind, wave, tidal, and solar energies tossed us about like toys for a week, wreaking havoc and laying low our homes, roads, communications, power sources, and commerce.
FORBES: Hurricanes Drive Home Appeal Of Alternative Energy Sources
The invisibility of tidal power may have helped it beat offshore wind in the race to deliver juice to the grid.
In mid-July, the department's Mineral Management Services, which controls the mineral rights on federal lands, asserted its jurisdiction over renewable energy projects--wind, wave, solar and tidal energy--on federal waters in the Outer Continental Shelf.
He began to learn all this as a baby, when his grandfather, himself a master navigator, held his tiny body in tidal pools to teach him how waves and wind blew differently from place to place.
The electricity generators operate like wind turbines but with blades driven by tidal wave action.
While tidal power got to the grid first, offshore wind has the potential to create a great deal more electricity.
Installed on the ocean floor, tidal machines also handily dodge the aesthetic concerns posed by offshore wind turbines.
FORBES: Wave Energy: The Latest Battleground in the Conservation vs. Innovation Debate
Count hydropower, biomass, tidal, geothermal, waste-to-energy, solar and wind, and you have only 6.1% of the rich world's energy supply in 1995.
He is also offering operating subsidies through the renewable-obligations mechanism, which will pay tidal generators three times as much as the subsidy paid to onshore wind farms, and wave generators five times as much.
Tidal turbines can be installed closer to shore than wave energy equipment, and thanks to the regularity of the tides, tidal power offers a more stable renewable energy source than, say, intermittent wind or solar.
FORBES: Wave Energy: The Latest Battleground in the Conservation vs. Innovation Debate
They are a pretty basic technology, they are a one hit, while if we develop lagoons, if we develop other forms of tidal and wave and other ways of extracting the energy from the water and the wind then I think we've got a great potential export trade.
Tidal Energy Ltd is working with renewable energy company Eco2 Ltd which has developed projects in biomass, wind and landfill gas.
