Renewable Energy

The department for Energy and Climate Change has recently published the UK Renewable Energy Strategy. In this article I take a closer look at what this means for development projects in the UK.

Of all the sources of renewable energy systems, water is considered to be one of the most commonly used form of renewable energy source. This is why it comes in various kinds. There is the hydroelectric energy that is acquired from large river dams. This is usually found in large river systems that have a high volume of water. This is then used to provide kinetic energy, which is then used to produce electricity. Other forms of water energy systems include those that utilize the energy of waves and those that make use of the energy of the tides.

As with residential solar power systems, there are numerous pre-packaged marine systems that are out on the market. However, if you are looking to save some money (as off the shelf solar kits can run several thousands of dollars), are handy with tools (chances are if you own a boat you are pretty handy with tools), have a little bit of time, you can design and build your own marine solar power system.

Aside from the first two, renewable energy can also be derived from the wind through the use of wind farms. It uses the same principle found in hydroelectric dams to convert the wind energy to kinetic energy and then to electricity. Geothermal power is also a good form of renewable energy system. This, on the other hand, makes use of the heat from deep inside the earth to produce electricity. Various methods are used to do this like harnessing the steam that naturally comes out of fissures on the ground.

This is of course good news for a large number of developers. Although the capital cost will not be affected, at least during the operation of the building there will be a higher return on the investments made. For certain development projects this new mechanism can even mean that providing renewable energy as part of the development project may have a positive financial effect
