African Wind – New Wind Farms Announced in Ethiopia and Tunisia
Saturday, October 18th, 2008A lot has changed since November 2006. That’s when REEEP helped finance a wind farm developed by South African wind developer, Genesis Eco-Energy (Pty) Ltd., through the sale of carbon credits to the UK government. The UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) purchased the credits generated by the Jeffreys Bay 10MW wind farm to offset their 2004 air travel emissions. Two years later the projects are 12 to 30 times bigger and now you have the French and Spanish governments providing assistance for African wind projects.

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Extended Deadline for Energy Globe Award 2008
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008The Energy Globe Award has extended its deadline until 21.06.2008 for submitting projects. I would like to invite you to participate in the Energy Globe 2008 as I think it is a real great opportunity to promote good projects and create awareness for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency projects all around the world.
The Energy Globe Award is one of the most important environmental awards worldwide. The Award distinguishes projects that sustainably use our resources such as water, earth, energy and air or use renewable energy forms. This makes a significant contribution to climate and environment. Only if such harbinger projects are followed by many other projects can climate change be slowed.
The Energy Globe is awarded nationally and internationally in the categories earth, fire, water, air and youth. The first prize in each category of the international Energy Globe Award wins €10,000. Awards are made in a televised gala that is viewed worldwide.
See the Energy Globe Application site for further information and details on how to download the application form.
