Solar power, text messages fight maternal deaths in rural Cameroon

Solar power, text messages fight maternal deaths in rural Cameroon

Julianna Senze, 40, had been in heavy labor for eight hours when she arrived at the Idenau Health Centre in Limbe, on the southwest coast of Cameroon.

Like many women in the country, she had had no prenatal care, so what should have been a routine delivery was now a high-risk medical procedure. The nurses, looking worn and tired, rushed her to the delivery room.

“We had to get her here quickly from Batoke village, some eight kilometers away, after receiving an SMS message from the doctor on duty,” said her husband, his voice strained with worry. Less than an hour later, Senze safely delivered a healthy baby boy.

Oman to encourage household generation of solar power

Oman to encourage household generation of solar power

Oman will encourage households to generate electricity with solar panels and feed it into the national grid, Qais al-Zakwani, executive director of the Authority for Electricity Regulation, said on Monday. The policy could put Oman in the forefront of Middle East nations promoting widespread use of solar power. Its finances severely damaged by low oil prices, the Omani government is seeking ways to save money, including a cut in electricity subsidies for commercial and industrial users. Zakwani told Reuters the authority aimed to have a mechanism in place by mid-year for households to generate power using solar roofing panels, and provide the power to the grid in exchange for cuts in their electricity tariffs.

Seeing no end to power crisis, Gazans turn to the sun

Seeing no end to power crisis, Gazans turn to the sun

Faced with power blackouts lasting anything from eight to 12 hours a day, residents and businesses in Gaza are increasingly turning to the sun to supply their energy needs.

Not only are solar panels more reliable and cheaper in the long run, but in some cases, including that of Tamer al-Burai, they have become essential to staying alive.

“To me, power is not just about lights or entertainment, it’s a matter of life and death,” said Burai, 40, who suffers from a severe sleep disorder that affects his breathing and has to be hooked up to an oxygen ventilator at night.

Why Big Retailers Are Going Solar

Why Big Retailers Are Going Solar

It’s about economics, not just environmentalism.

Years ago, big retailers and tech companies installed solar panels as a way to take an environmental stance. But these days it’s often an economic choice that is fueled by the promise of lower and less volatile energy costs.

On Tuesday, Whole Foods WFM 0.78% said that it planned a huge project to cover nearly one-fourth of its stores with solar panels. After construction is complete, Whole Foods says it could be among the top 25 biggest commercial U.S. solar suppliers alongside Walmart WMT 0.37% , Walgreens WBA -0.48% , and Target TGT -0.51% .

Vivint Solar terminates $2.2 billion merger with SunEdison

Vivint Solar terminates $2.2 billion merger with SunEdison

Rooftop solar panel installer Vivint Solar Inc (VSLR.N) said on Tuesday it had terminated an agreement under which it would have been taken over by solar energy company SunEdison Inc (SUNE.N) after SunEdison failed to “consummate” the deal.

The cash-and-stock deal, worth $2.2. billion when it was forged last July, had faced criticism from hedge funds and other investors as SunEdison’s finances and share price weakened.

SunEdison shares were up 41 percent at $2.68 in premarket trading, while Vivint’s were little changed at $5.20.

Vivint said it intended to “seek all legal remedies available” as a result of the “willful breach” of the merger agreement by SunEdison.

Singapore feeds first solar power into retail grid to reduce emissions

Singapore feeds first solar power into retail grid to reduce emissions

Singapore on Monday announced it had begun to feed solar power into its retail electric grid for the first time, as it seeks to reduce emissions and prepares to fully liberalize its electricity market.

Singapore, one of the sunniest cities in the world, generates almost all its power from imported natural gas, with solar fuelling less than 1 percent.

In countries like Germany and Japan, rooftop solar panels have helped boost capacity and bring record levels of renewable energy into the power mix.

Under Singapore’s plan, commercial and industrial power users can purchase solar-generated power from the power grid. The power is generated through rooftop solar panels owned and operated by Singapore’s Sun Electric, the first solar company given an electricity retail licence, it was announced at an event held by Sun Electric and Singapore’s electricity regulator, the Energy Market Authority (EMA).

Is the US undermining India’s solar power programme?

Is the US undermining India’s solar power programme?

Whatever happened to all the talk of international co-operation to tackle climate change that we heard during the climate conference in Paris just a few months ago?

That is what many environmentalists are asking after the United States delivered a damaging blow to India’s ambitious solar power programme this week.

In response to a US complaint, a World Trade Organization (WTO) panel has ruled that India’s National Solar Mission breaches trade rules. Read More…
