OVERCOMING THE FINANCIAL HURDLES OF FINANCING RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Many developing countries of the world are blessed with so much abundant natural resources that ordinarily speaking one would have thougth that harnessing this natural resources for green and renewable energy would not have been a major problem, but these countries are faced with a lot of developmental challenges that without influx of external funding, harnessing these alternative energy resources will remain a mirage for a long time to come but development partners can assist in form of long term loan , grant ,donation.

Nareva Selects GE Turbines for 100 MW Wind Farm in Morocco
As
a part of the Moroccan government’s Integrated Wind Energy Project, GE
will supply 56 1.7-100 wind turbines for its first wind farm in North
Africa. The Integrated Wind Energy Project aims to generate 2000 MW of
wind power by 2020. GE is proudly committed to helping Morocco achieve
its wind energy development goals.
GE’s first permanent magnet generator leaves factory
GE Power Conversion has successfully completed construction of its
first permanent magnet generator at its factory in Saint-Nazaire. The
factory has capacity to manufacture 100 such generators a year. The
first unit is one of 300 to be manufactured at the site. The new
generators are intended for GE’s Haliade 150-6MW offshore wind turbine.
“The factory in Saint Nazaire is the first offshore wind manufacturing site in France,” said GE Power Conversion renewables executive Frederic Maenhaut. “It is a milestone in the nation’s energy history. We are well positioned to bring clean, offshore wind energy to the domestic market as well as the export market.”
The 6MW generator is one of the largest generators of its type ever built and has a direct drive system without a mechanical gearbox. GE says this reduced component count will increase reliability and turbine availability and help to drive down the cost of wind energy. The Haliade turbine with the permanent magnet generator has been selected for the Block Island offshore windfarm in the US.

Solar-Powered Roads gaining momentum in france
France plans to install 1,000 kilometers of solar panel roadways in the next five years, Global Construction Review
reports. That’s an ambitious goal, but not at all out of reach, because
the technology is ready to go: the 7-millimeter-thick photovoltaic
panel called Wattway,
produced by French transportation infrastructure firm Colas. These
panels can glue onto existing road surfaces to draw power from the sun,
while providing enough grip for cars and trucks to drive over them.
Colas says one kilometer is enough to power public lighting for a city
of 5,000 people and 20 square meters of Wattway can power a single
French home.
