Eastern Europe
California-based solar developer Premier Power has started constructing a 16.2-megawatt solar farm in Bulgaria.
Touted when first announced in January of 2010 as “likely to create hundreds of jobs”, the world’s largest wood pellet plant – a joint effort between German firm RWE Innogy (ETR:RWE) and Swedish firm BMC – cost $170 million to build and occupies about 300 acres in the Waycross (Georgia) Industrial Park. RWE Innogy delivers renewable energy in Europe. BMC is a project and technology development company vested in wood-based biomass.
Over the past few years, E.ON AG (OTC: EONGY), Germany's largest utility, has been swallowing European wind farm operators and expanding its portfolio of holdings in the UK, Spain and Portugal.
Like a fierce gale sweeping across the landscape, Spain's Iberdrola (OTC: IBDRY), the world's largest wind farm owner, continues adding to its wind assets (in 10 countries and counting).
Enphase Energy, the California-based solar microinverter system company, has been on a roll.
