We also round up the top 20 projects by capacity under construction around the world, including the Hornsea Project One offshore windfarm proposed by DONG Energy, which will be the world’s largest offshore windfarm when complete with 1.2GW capacity. In Dubai, we check in on the 5,000MW Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which will help to meet growing power requirements in the United Arab Emirates.

Finally, we take a closer look at the state of the world’s coal, gas and nuclear plants, profile the most expensive nuclear projects currently under construction, and round up the top 10 largest transmission lines being built to deliver electricity across the Americas, Europe and Africa.

Preview – Future Power December

Attention is turning with increasing urgency to the need to raise the $1.5tn needed to finance the Paris Climate Agreement. At the core of this is a new Global Green Bond Partnership, launched with help from the World Bank to support the efforts of cities, businesses and financial institutions to accelerate the issuance of green bonds. We find out how the bonds scheme will work.

Also in the final issue of 2018, we consider whether Russia is finally ready to embrace renewables in light of a new joint venture to build wind turbines, profile plans to retrofit the iconic Hoover Dam to turn it into a wind and solar-powered pump station, and ask whether recyclability should be a key function of renewables.

Plus, we profile a day in the life of a renewable energy control room such as Enel Green Power’s in Chile, which has recently opened to monitor wind, solar, hydro and geothermal technologies across the company’s network, and speak to marine energy developer Minesto about its Deep Green technology, which generates clean electricity from oceans using a marine energy kite.
