Report: Renewable energy overtaking declining nuclear http://www.pv-tech.org/news/solar_overtakes_nuclear_in_global_energy_output 12 July 13, Only
1.2GW of nuclear generation capacity was installed last year globally
compared to 32GW of solar, according to a report proclaiming the end of
the “nuclear renaissance”.The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2013, published yesterday, was written by numerous academics and independent energy consultants as a “reality check” on global use of nuclear energy.
It claims that with global electricity generation from nuclear decreasing “historically” by 7% last year, nuclear power is in decline as a power source compared to renewable energies.
The report singled out solar and wind as energy forms that were beginning to rival nuclear. It said that 80% of those it surveyed thought renewables would be able to compete with major power and utilities sectors, and that “all forms of solar will not need subsidies to compete” by 2030.
The largest investment in renewable energy was in utility-scale renewable energy parks, and second was in rooftop solar PV installations. Read more »
