Whilst many people in most first world countries have access to a reliable and steady flow of electricity, there are still some corners of the world where access to energy is a huge issue. This is mainly prevalent in the remote isolated communities located in south east Asia even with good economic progress being made in past years.

Offshore wind turbine projects along with new onshore ventures in China and the United States have provided one of the strongest recorded years for wind power.

Renewable energy sources, wind and solar power, will soon be cheaper than the existing cost for coal fired power, a recent report claims.

The German supermarket chain Lidl has had a gigantic increase in its business rates to 528% due to a change in the valuation of having solar installations at its sites.
