Scotland has 85% of the UK’s hydro-electric energy resource, much of it developed by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board in the 1950s. The “Hydro Board”, which brought “power from the glens”, was a nationalised industry at the time although it was privatised in 1989 and is now part of Scottish and Southern Energy plc. [...]

Energy customers can choose to pay a fixed 20 year rate on power obtained from renewable energy sources such as wind power by enrolling in the ”GreenChoice” plan. Austin Energy purchases wind power generated in West Texas and power generated through the burning of landfill gas at landfills in Austin and San Antonio. As part [...]
Electric boats were very popular from the 1880s until the 1920s, when the internal combustion engine took dominance. Since the energy crises of the 1970s, interest in this quiet and potentially renewable marine energy source has been increasing steadily again, especially as solar cells became available, for the first time making possible motorboats with an [...]

multi-junction solar cells are currently the most efficient solar cells. Huge efforts have been made to improve the production of renewable energy. One of the most promising technologies is photovoltaic solar panels which convert solar energy into electrical energy. The first solar cell was a c-Si solar cell realised in 1954 by researchers at Bell [...]
Intermittent energy source is a term usually used to refer to some sources of renewable energy, such as wind and solar, (but not to geothermal generated electricity or hydroelectricity), because these sources of electric power generation may be uncontrollably variable or more intermittent than conventional power sources in normal operational conditions. Intermittency is a problem [...]
