Comments on: New Renewable Energy for Antarctic Base http://www.windenergyplanning.com/new-renewable-energy-for-antarctic-base/ Renewable energy is essential to modern society - reducing harmful emissions from fossil fuels and making us more self sufficient. This site will explore what people are doing to help get us closer to a greener, renewable energy sourced world Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:15:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: UNDP/GEF WEP http://www.windenergyplanning.com/new-renewable-energy-for-antarctic-base/comment-page-1/#comment-296 UNDP/GEF WEP Mon, 23 Feb 2009 06:41:08 +0000 http://www.windenergyplanning.com/?p=1363#comment-296 Wind energy has been regarded as one of the most promising forms of renewable energy to be utilized for electric power generated for current and future needs. Historically wind energy has been harnessed for a vast number of human needs for approximately 5500 years. As a ‘futuristic green source of energy’, wind energy is now being harnessed at a growing rate globally, as we face a dramatic change in our environment. In view of the above, The United Nations Development Program - UNDP has initiated the project "Sustainable Development of Commercial Scale Wind Power Generation Project” referred simply to as the Wind Energy Project (WEP). This project has been undertaken as an effort to curb the current global environmental crisis being faced in light of heavy emissions of green house gases to fuel a growing population. The project is focused on both developed and developing countries, and is in Phase I of its implementation in Pakistan. The project is being undertaken in association with the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) and the Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB). Please visit our website www.wep.org.pk for a detailed analysis into the implementation of wind energy in Pakistan based the UNDP directive, including specific and thorough investigations into wind energy, wind resource assessment, key financial instruments for tariff refinement, detailed EIA and EA guidelines with reference to potential windy sites in Pakistan, and a list of informative websites on wind energy.
