Nabrawind to Build Africa’s Tallest Wind Farm Tower in Morocco

Construction Week Online reported that Spanish firm Nabrawind to Build Africa’s Tallest Wind Farm Tower in Morocco.The tower will have a hub height of 144 meters, the tallest on the African continent, and a rated power of 3.6 MW.

Morocco is a leader in renewable energy infrastructure projects. The country has ambitious targets to bring national electricity production to 52% by 2030 and is well on track to reaching its 2020 goal of 42% renewable energy production.

The deal for the Nabralift tower shows Morocco’s willingness to invest in state-of-the-art technologies. Nabralift is a new wind turbine technology, and the Moroccan contract is the first order of the design.

Unlike other designs, the Nabralift tower can be installed without using large-size cranes, thanks to a new self-erecting system at the base of the tower pylon.

This lowers the need for special installation equipment costs and allows the tower to be installed on difficult terrain.

The Nabralift design also has a lower-cost foundation. Other towers with a gravitational foundation can require 500 meters cubed of concrete and 60 tons of steel for installation into the ground.

Wind Power Harmful to Birds & Worms – Mr Putin

Reuters reported that Russian President Mr Vladimir Putin has questioned the use of wind power, saying wind turbines were harmful to birds and worms. Mr Putin said at a conference in Yekaterinburg that "Wind powered generation is good, but are birds being taken into account in this case? How many birds are dying? Wind turbines shake, causing worms to come out of the soil. This is not a joke.”

Mr Putin added that people would not like to live on a planet dotted with rows of wind-powered generators and covered by several layers of solar panels.

Russia, a world-leading producer of fossil fuel, is lagging other countries in its development of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind-powered energy. Wind power is rarely used in the country to generate electricity.

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority has invited consultancy companies to submit their feasibility study bids for the wind power generation project in Hatta. This is part of DEWA’s efforts to contribute to the ambitious development goals of Dubai, and to support the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to develop Hatta with a comprehensive plan, while balancing economic, social and environmental development. The deadline to apply for the project is 23 July 2019.

Mr HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA said that "The Hatta power generation project aligns with DEWA’s efforts to contribute effectively in achieving the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to make Dubai a global hub for clean energy and green economy, and increase the production of clean energy to 75% by 2050. This is most relevant in the field of wind power, which has witnessed new developments in recent years, becoming a key source in renewable and clean energy worldwide.”

Mr Al Tayer stressed that DEWA is keen to transform Dubai into a global hub for clean energy and green economy, and to have the lowest carbon footprint in the world, affirming that achieving these ambitious strategic objectives requires a production capacity of more than 42,000 megawatts of clean and renewable energy by 2050. He added that “To achieve our vision of becoming a globally leading, sustainable, innovative corporation, we are working to establish sustainability as a road map to ensure a brighter and happier future in Dubai by launching world-class initiatives and leading projects in green development.”

Mr Al Tayer explained that the benefits of the wind power generation project extend to include several other advantages, since the electricity generated from wind power is clean and does not produce any pollution or gases. Also, electricity generated is produced locally, does not require fuel and will create jobs for the residents of Hatta.

DEWA, through its continued efforts to keep pace with the latest developments in the field of renewable energy, carried out reviews with experts and revealed advancements in wind power, including technological ones, data processing methods, and the possibility of installing wind turbines as tall as 200 meters using hybrid towers of concrete and steel. This is in addition to developing new wind turbines, using longer blades made of composite materials, capable of operating and generating continuous energy using reduced wind speeds. In light of these developments that relate to the various improvements in wind measuring techniques, wind turbines, and tower construction techniques, DEWA has initiated the feasibility study of the Hatta wind power generation project, which was selected due to the geographical nature of the mountains, allowing for relatively higher wind speeds than other areas.

Jelgava Plans for New Wind Farm

The Mayor reported that near the gorgeous and forward-thinking Latvian city of Jelgava, there is a bog, utilized by a local peat development company. That company’s name is SIA “Laflora” and it intends to utilize the Kaigu bog not only for the collection of peat. In the location it sees the perfect place for the construction of a brand-new wind-powered power plant.

The CEO of SIA “Laflora”, Uldis Ameriks, stated that “We manage large enough areas. And in Kaigu bog, there has been a peat extraction site for a long time. And now is the time to think about another way of using it - to recultivate this area, which is of 1,000 hectares, and to give the bog the next breath. On the one hand, it entails the cultivation of berries and forestry, but on the other hand, it could be used for wind energy.”

Currently the project is in its extremely early preliminary stages. Experts are establishing the potential reach of the power station and making risk assessments. Citizens are also being asked about their opinions on the project. According to SIA “Laflora” talks have so far been very positive and constructive, with locals demonstrating a great deal of interest in the future of the bog.
