The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) has recently released the global wind report for 2021 and let’s just say things have been windy for the industry. The global wind industry set a new annual record in the past year of 93 gigawatt installations around the world even in the face of a global pandemic! What does this mean?
Texas had been targeted by a massive snowstorm which was unlike anything the state had experienced before. One of the biggest advantage of a microgeneration wind turbine is that is it connect directly to the residence and does not rely on the grid to generate electricity for the owner. By having this backup that does not rely on grid energy, Texas could had avoided the heat-less, and waterless days.
Remote communities and island nations have had to rely on fossil-fuel generators for many years, costing them vast amounts of money for fuel and pumping greenhouse gasses into our atmosphere. Luckily, many are beginning the transition to renewable energy generation.
