Wind is here to stay

Sunny Barcelona offered an ideal setting for the EWEA 2014 Wind Energy event, although it was clear that wind power development in Spain has collapsed. This is just one example of how dynamically the wind power market can shift from one country to another. At the conference, many great keynote speakers gave very positive speeches…

Betting against the wind?

As an investor in renewable energy, you most likely consider return on investment (ROI) to be a key metric when assessing investments in areas such as wind power. Without a doubt, this can be crucial.

See you at EWEA Offshore 2013

We are looking forward to meet you at EWEA Offshore 2013 and to discuss how we can lower the cost of energy for your turbine!

The Switch introduces technology to maximize wind turbine efficiency and energy production

New style of drive train leverages an optimized permanent magnet generator and full-power converter package to capitalize on variable wind speeds for maximum energy capture and delivery to the grid.

With its innovative drive train technology, The Switch plans to take successes gained in European and Asian wind installations to bolster its presence in North America, one of the highest growth areas for new wind turbine installations.

Reached 1600 MW mark of installed capacity

The Switch has just achieved more than 1600 MW of installed capacity for wind turbine power generation, built in only three years. This installed capacity matches that of the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant, on the west coast of Finland, which has taken already four years to build and is still under construction.

As the world seeks to produce 20% of its power by renewable energy, a concern will be how quickly new capacity can be fully up and running. Wind and solar power change the game in the power production industry, since they offer the possibility to bring new capacity online fast.
