Quebec's power generation future looks green and clean
QUEBEC - Quebec is a clean and green province with 17,338 megawatts (MW) of installed power generation capacity, of which 84% is produced by renewable energy sources (hydroelectric, wind and biomass).
Power generators are planning projects that would increase generation capacity by 42%, up to 24,678 MW.
About 99% of the new generation planned is from renewable sources, increasing the renewable energy from 14,572 MW to 21,888 MW or about 88% of the total generation.

To Limit Climate Change, Scientists Try To Improve Solar And Wind Power
WASHINGTON - Solar energy in Wisconsin continued to grow in 2019, as more homeowners had rooftop panels installed and big utilities started building multi-panel solar farms.
Wind power is increasing more slowly in the state. However, developers are again coming forward with proposals for multiple turbines.
Nationally, researchers are working on ways to get even more energy from solar and wind, as states like Wisconsin aim to reduce their carbon emissions over the next few decades.
One reason solar energy is growing in Wisconsin is due to the silicon panels becoming more efficient. But scientists haven't finished trying to improve panel efficiency. The…
