Giant wind turbines that generate fossil fuel–free power add a little heat of their own to the planet.

Italian energy giant Enel Green Power has just placed an order for 70 of massive turbines from Vestas, one of the largest wind turbinecompanies in the world.

The world's largest wind farm is up and running.

It powers more than half a million homes and sits in the Irish Sea, off the coast of England. The Walney Extension opened last week with a generating capacity of 659 megawatts, and is located between northern England and the Isle of Man. 

The transportation of both Kangnas Wind Farm and Perdekraal East Wind Farm’s turbine tower sections have commenced, making their way from the West Coast’s Port of Saldanha and Atlantis.

Energy generation around the world is shifting towards renewable sources in response to the climate emergency.

Commenting on the NPC’s stance that the Integrated Resource Plan needs updating, Niveshen Govender, CEO of the SA Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) said the association is of the view that while the policy document may not be perfect, it certainly is effective in providing clear direction.
