E.ON EC&R surpasses the 1,000 MW threshold
“Despite these economic times, EC&R remains on schedule to deliver some of the industry’s most efficient wind energy projects,” said Declan Flanagan, chief executive officer, EC&R North America. “Surpassing the 1,000 MW threshold is proof that EC&R has the expertise and financial strength to meet the nation’s growing demand for renewable energy.”
EC&R remains committed to the long-term investment and development of high-quality renewable energy projects in the U.S. Recently, EC&R began construction on two new wind farms: Papalote Creek, located near Corpus Christi, Texas, and Stonycreek wind farm, located in Somerset County, Pa.

Why Canada should invest in "macrogrids" for greener, more reliable electricity
OTTAWA - As the recent disaster in Texas showed, climate change requires electricity utilities to prepare for extreme events. This “global weirding” leads to more intense storms, higher wind speeds, heatwaves and droughts that can threaten the performance of electricity systems.
The electricity sector must adapt to this changing climate while also playing a central role in mitigating climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced a number of ways, but the electricity sector is expected to play a central role in decarbonization. Zero-emissions electricity can be used to electrify transportation, heating and industry and help achieve emissions reduction in…
