Energy World September 2014
Welcome to the new-look Energy World, including this month major features on offshore wind and marine energy both in the UK and internationally.
As the UK leads the world on the development of offshore wind power, it’s only fitting that the Carbon Trust should be advising China on its offshore wind efforts – see page 14. We also include articles about the still massive potential for wind farms sited off UK coasts, along with news from the wind energy industry and its safety practices offshore.
The UK is also pioneering marine energy in both its wave and tidal forms, so we round-up the status of R&D facilities for devices being tested, installed and, in a few cases, connected to the grid – see page 24. Why not also look at prospects for another country with a long coastline: Chile.
We also include articles on small-scale rural electrification projects in Africa, and this month’s interview marking the centenary of the EI, with Drax’s Dorothy Thompson. Finally, there’s the usual extensive news coverage, opinion pages and diary section.
Do feel free to let us know your thoughts on the new design of the magazine.
