100% renewable energy
100% renewable energy is the goal of using fully renewable resources for all electric energy consumption. 100% renewable energy for electricity, heating, cooling and transport is motivated by greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and other environmental issues, as well as economic and energy security concerns.
Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology
The Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST) is a research centre into renewable energy based in the Department of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering, Loughborough University in England.
Renewable energy in Mexico
Renewable energy in Mexico contributes to 26 percent of electricity generation in Mexico. As of 2009, electricity generation from renewable energy comes from biomass, hydro power, geothermal, solar power and wind.
Renewable energy in the United Kingdom
Renewable energy in the United Kingdom refers to energy from renewable sources used for electricity generation, heat and transport in the United Kingdom. In 2024, renewables accounted for 50.4% of UK electricity generation and 16.2% of gross final energy consumption.
International Renewable Energy Agency
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is an intergovernmental organization mandated to facilitate cooperation, advance knowledge, and promote the adoption and sustainable use of renewable energy. It is the first international organization to focus exclusively on renewable energy, addressing needs in both…
Variable renewable energy
Variable renewable energy (VRE) or intermittent renewable energy sources (IRES) are renewable energy sources that are not dispatchable (adjustable on demand) due to their fluctuating nature, such as wind power and solar power, as opposed to controllable renewable energy sources, such as dammed hydroelectricity or…
Renewable energy in Germany
Renewable energy in Germany comes mainly from wind power, solar power and biomass and is a central component of the country's Energiewende. In 2025, renewable sources accounted for 23.8% of Germany's gross final energy consumption.
Canadian property bubble
The Canadian property bubble refers to the significant rise in Canadian real estate prices between 2002 and 2022, with short periods of falling prices in 2008 and 2018.
Renewable energy commercialization
Renewable energy commercialization involves the deployment of three generations of renewable energy technologies dating back more than 100 years. First-generation technologies, which are already mature and economically competitive, include biomass, hydroelectricity, geothermal power and heat.
Electric power transmission
Electric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, such as a power plant, to an electrical substation. A long conductor used to facilitate such movement is called a transmission line.
