The article discusses various energy-related developments in India, including Equinix signing a power purchase agreement with CleanMax to construct a renewable power plant in Maharashtra. Additionally, India has facilitated power trade between Nepal and Bangladesh, marking the first trilateral power transaction through the Indian grid. The Union mines ministry plans to auction offshore mineral blocks in the next two to three months, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to lay the foundation stone for India's largest Green Hydrogen Hub at Pudimadaka near Visakhapatnam.

The Brazilian wind energy sector is projected to decline until 2027 due to oversupply and high costs, despite previous growth fueled by government subsidies. ABEEolica anticipates a recovery in 2027 driven by increased electrical load, economic growth, and new demand from industries like data centers and green hydrogen. In 2024, Brazil will install 76 new wind turbine farms with a capacity of 3.3 gigawatts, marking a significant slowdown from the previous year. [Extracted from the article]

Equinix has signed its first power purchase agreement (PPA) in India with CleanMax to construct a 33MW captive renewable power plant in Maharashtra, consisting of 26.4MW of solar power and 6.6MW of onshore wind, expected to be operational by 2025. Additionally, India has facilitated a trilateral power transaction between Nepal and Bangladesh through the Indian grid, allowing for the export of up to 40 megawatts of electricity from Nepal to Bangladesh.

The article announces that wind turbine maker Suzlon Group has achieved a 35 per cent plant load factor for wind power over the last 12 months.

Focuses on an idea known as distributed generation, where U.S. buildings could generate enough of their own electricity to collectively ease the load on the nation's power grid. Alternative methods proposed by distributed-generation proponents, suggesting a growing U.S. population can not rely on the antiquated system currently in place; Comments of John Tucker, chief executive of Capstone Turbine Corp. of Chatsworth (Calif.), a manufacturer of small turbines, also known as microturbines, that generate electricity; View of industry experts that large corporations, factories and big office buildings will have to adopt distributed generation in order for it to have any effect; Statistics related to the electricity generated by distributed generation, indicating that it is only a small percentage; Limitations on diesel-powered generators; Benefits of cogeneration, which uses waste heat for other purposes.

Electricity use is up sharply this summer, but in a windowless room near Albany that is the nerve center of New York State's grid, controllers have noticed that something else is not rising: peak load. Peak load is the single hour of highest use in the course of the year, a condition for which the electric system is designed and which is the focus of utilities' operating strategies and, sometimes, prayers. Driven by each new air-conditioner, computer and flat-screen television, peak load grew inexorably from the 1980s until the recession. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The article reports that gas fired electricity generation sets (Gensets) have been installed by Victoria Oil & Gas PLC at its operating subsidiary, Gaz du Cameroun, to replace grid power on 4 customer sites located in Douala, Cameroon. It is noted that average gas consumption for these customers is anticipated to be approximately 0.75mmscf/d under expected power useage.
