Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas said it had been chosen the preferred supplier for wind projects with total capacity of 1,655 megawatts to be installed in Spain in 2012-14.

An order of that size would be significant for Vestas, the world's largest wind turbine maker, which has forecast its 2010 order intake will reach 8,000-9,000 MW, falling to 7,000-8,000 MW the year after.

Vestas Wind Systems A/S said in a statement its position as "preferred technology partner" was confirmed by the regional government of Galacia following a public tendering round.

More than 70 percent of the total tender capacity of 2,325 MW has been awarded to 20 bidding companies which had submitted proposals based exclusively on Vestas technology, Vestas said.

"Vestas will now continue the negotiations with the different companies, and the orders will be announced as they become firm and unconditional and moreover comply with Vestas' rules of disclosure," said Vestas, which forecast no growth in profit and revenue next year.

Why Nuclear Fusion Is Still The Holy Grail Of Clean Energy

WASHINGTON - Just 100 years ago, when English mathematician and astronomer Arthur Eddington suggested that the stars power themselves through a process of merging atoms to create energy, heat, and light, the idea was an unthinkable novelty. Now, in 2021, we’re getting remarkably close to recreating the process of nuclear fusion here on Earth. Over the last century, scientists have been steadily chasing commercial nuclear fusion, ‘the holy grail of clean energy.’ The first direct demonstration of fusion in a lab took place just 12 years after it was conceptualized, at Cambridge University in 1932, followed by the world’s first…
