About 50 people attended a rally Saturday 23 January 2010 on the Victorian parliament house steps to Save Solar Systems and build the Mildura Solar Thermal Power Plant.
Solar Systems pioneeed the solar technology of mirrored dishes that concentrate light on a central panel of high-quality photovoltaic material. Due to the pressure of the financial crisis the company went into voluntary administration in September 2009. The Victorian Government promised $125million in 2006 in total funding for the project, of which only $2million-$3million has been paid.

Decorative pinwheel stands guard over a gravesite in the village cemetery. I paused to watch as the rotation slowed, then increased in response to the breezes blowing over the gravestones. At times it would spin madly as if about to take flight, creating an odd buzzing sound in the process. I've always loved things designed to take advantage of wind energy, kites, windmills, flags. Even watching trees swaying in the wind is comforting. Guess it just pleases me at some level to see visual evidence of wind, and to feel it against my skin. Anyway this little pinwheel made my day. I waited until it went into a rotational blur to take this photo, and dragged the shutter to make sure it would convey motion.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the energy sector globally. The forced shutdown of many economies worldwide has resulted in decreased energy demand and a decline in oil prices. While Mauritius is heavily dependent on fossil fuels to power its economy, with imported fossil fuel supplying 80% of primary energy requirements, the current uncertainties have made the need to diversify the energy mix of the island only more evident. The Government of Mauritius has a target of using renewables to supply 35% of the country’s energy needs by 2025.
The solar PV farm at Henrietta is located close to the Tamarind Falls Dam and comprises a 2MWp grid-tie ground-mounted solar photovoltaic farm with all necessary accessories supporting the structures and interconnection facilities over a surface area of 20,000 square metres. The equipment to be installed consists of 5,900 solar photovoltaic panels, inverters, ground-mounting structures, switchgears and transformers, amongst others.

AltaRock Energy is working on a project involving new technology, techniques, and advanced monitoring protocols for the purpose of testing the feasibility and viability of enhanced geothermal systems for renewable energy production.
The project area is 22 miles south of Bend, Oregon, within the Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest. The entire project is located on National Forest System Lands and would utilize an existing well pad and existing 10,000-ft deep geothermal well on a Federal geothermal lease. This geothermal project will enable the AltaRock Energy to create, test, and demonstrate the Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) reservoir technology and its potential for electricity generation in areas with underground heat but little or no natural water. The EGS projects produce electricity using heat extracted with engineered fluid flow paths in hot rocks. These pathways are developed by stimulating them with cold water injected into a well at a relatively high pressure.
Development and testing of the EGS will involve several components, including the development of an underground reservoir, one “stimulation” well to help create the reservoir and transport water to it, two production wells to transport heated water out of the reservoir, and an array of up to 20 surface and “down-hole” seismic monitoring devices.
Eleven of the monitoring sites are on Federal geothermal leases administered by the BLM, and nine are on lands that are administered by the U.S. Forest Service, including one surface micro-seismic monitoring station and a motion sensor installed in the Newberry National Monument.
The United States leads the world in electricity generation with geothermal power. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that in 2012, U.S geothermal power plants produced about 17 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh), or 0.4% of total U.S. electricity generation. Six states had geothermal power plants: California had 36 plants producing about 80% of the Nation's geothermal-produced electricity; Nevada had 21 plants producing about 16% of the Nation's geothermal-produced electricity; Utah had two plants; and Hawaii, Idaho, and Oregon each had one plant. Geothermal energy is also used directly for space and water heating applications.
The Geothermal Steam Act of 1970, as amended (84 Stat, 1566; 30 U.S.C. 1001-1025), provides the Secretary of the Interior with the authority to lease public lands (245 million acres) and other federal lands, including National Forest lands (193 million acres), for geothermal exploration and development in an environmentally sound manner. This authority has been delegated to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
Leases are required to explore for or develop geothermal resources on public lands. Leasing requirements are described in the 43 CFR 3200 Geothermal Leasing Regulations.
As of June 5, 2013 there were 78 federal geothermal leases encompassing 102,484 acres in Oregon, a 2% acreage decrease since May 2012, and four leases encompassing 8,436 acres in Washington representing no change over the same period. There have also been 15 parcels nominated for leasing, 6 in Oregon (11,452 acres) and 9 in Washington (35,480 acres). Three of these are on BLM land; the remaining 12 are on U.S. Forest Service (USFS) land.

Major milestone for offshore renewable projects – Foster
Energy Minister Arlene Foster today welcomed the signing of agreements for a 600MW offshore wind project and a 200MW tidal development in Northern Ireland’s first
offshore renewable energy Leasing Round.
The Crown Estate, which grants seabed lease development rights for offshore renewable projects, announced that agreements have been signed with First Flight Wind Limited, Tidal Ventures and DP Marine Energy Limited of Ireland and DEME N.V. (Dredging, Environmental and Marine Engineering) of Belgium.
Minister Foster is pictured with Rob Hastings, Director of The Crown Estate at today's announcement.

Arlene Foster said: “Today’s announcement by The Crown Estate represents a major milestone for Northern Ireland. I am greatly encouraged by the progress made to date to develop our offshore renewable resource and that these key companies want to invest in our waters.
“The development of offshore renewables is an excellent opportunity for Northern Ireland in so many ways – energy security and diversity; climate change mitigation; a contribution to the Executive’s 2020 targets and the business supply chain opportunities for local companies over the next few years as these projects come on stream.”

The 2nd Meeting of the D-8 Working Committee on Renewable Energy was successfully held from 16-17 November 2011 in Bali, Indonesia. The Meeting, attended by all D-8 member countries, was hosted by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia and also attracted active participation from private sectors in the renewable energy sector.
During the first meeting in Ankara last year, potential project and technical assistance proposals for further promotion of cooperation in this field were made. In this second meeting in Bali, Indonesia, the progress and explore future development and wider cooperation were among the topics elaborated by the participants.
