A utility in China has started to build the first new nuclear plant since Beijing lifted a construction ban following the Fukushima disaster. We investigate how China plans to improve the process of construction to ensure the safety of new systems and equipment. We also explore India’s nuclear new-build programme and the role of indigenous technology as well as technical cooperation with foreign vendors.

We take a look at Ethiopia’s plans to invest $12bn by 2035 to build an array of hydro-power projects, including Africa’s largest dam currently being built on the river Nile, and ask how construction is progressing.
Moreover, we check in on other renewable energy projects currently being built, including the UK’s West of Duddon Sands offshore wind farm and the Rio Mesa solar power plant in the US, and find out why concrete gravity bases have the potential to become the next generation of offshore wind turbine foundation. Finally, we find out how UK companies can address cultural differences to succeed overseas.

Next issue: Clean Progress
The rapid growth in renewable energy generation is placing considerable pressure on Europe’s power system. We examine why flexibility and integration are critical to meeting Europe’s long-term generation challenge, and hear from the advisory board of Power-Gen Europe about the key challenges faced by the industry, such as de-carbonisation targets, policy harmonisation and market design.
We also look at Google’s $1bn investment strategy for renewable energy projects, and investigate the potential of shale gas as a green solution to US power demand and the controversy surrounding fracking.
New research suggests the full potential of electric cars will only be realised when vehicles are integrated into home energy management systems. We explore the possibilities of connecting electric car schems to the grid and what effect it could have on demand management, the infrastructure and power producers.
