Tindaya drain oil and alternative energy rises stagnate

Wind

The nuclear alert ordered in Japan after terromoto magnitude 9 and subsequent tsunami that destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant has not only reinforced the idea that the future is clean energy or not. Nuclear energy, of great importance in many developed countries (in Spain contributed around 19% of electricity) has shown that it is vulnerable.

The Canary archipelago meets two conditions ideal for wind and solar photovoltaics, wind and sun much attached to a small isolated power system in which to generate with diesel or fuel is more expensive than the Peninsula. Produce here Wind power is already cheaper than fossil fuels do, according to the Ministry of Industry. So the government has taken an extra quota of 600 MW for the archipelago, four times the power currently installed.

clustering of renewable local businesses did a study that highlighted the convenience of betting on this technology. According to his calculations, and taking into account the variability of the cost of energy produced with fossil fuels, a kilowatt hour farm in Canary costs almost half that produced a 37% fuel than diesel . The use of these energy sources to produce electricity is practically abandoned in the Peninsula, where it has been replaced by natural gas. But in the archipelago can only be built large gas plants, associated with the gasification plants in the larger islands. For smaller towns is not economically viable.

Wind Energy Association estimates that the projected savings respect to fossil fuel production will be 108 million euros a year and welcomes the system, especially since it was a paradise Canary untapped wind. If the Peninsula mills operate average 2,200 hours per year, the islands reach the 3,200.

However, the dispersion legislation, protection of land and for procurement scandals have made the Canaries only have 4% of electricity from wind (18% in Spain) and the quota can approach the media. Without it, the wind was at risk of becoming paralyzed as the new registration system would be unworkable most parks in the archipelago. Galicia is considered the quota discriminatiorio and calls for similar treatment (this community produces 64% of its renewable consumption).

The next challenge is linking the windmills to water pumping systems for wind energy not be wasted if it comes at times when demand is low.

Generating electricity using wind energy in the Canary Islands would cost half that of conventional media currently used, diesel and fuel oil, while the photovoltaic also be more profitable. That's one of the initial findings of the study just presented the Innovative Business Group on Renewable Energy, Environment and Water Resources Canary Ricamo Cluster, at a meeting to be held with the Minister of Employment, Industry and Trade of Self-Government , Jorge Rodriguez and the director general of Energy, Adrian Mendoza.
