As the world changes how it is powered, having a better understanding of the weather at any stage of the wind farm lifecycle is more critical than ever before, as a means to reduce costs and enable increased renewable energy integration in our lives. But with weather patterns difficult to predict, particularly long-term, how can a complete set of weather and environmental technologies help?
Renewable energy is on the rise. As the world increases efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the dangerous impact of climate change, the rapid growth of solar and wind power provides hope that we can meet the greatest energy challenges of today and the most ambitious climate goals of tomorrow.
With stronger policies, raised climate goals and shrinking costs of advancing technologies, the renewable energy sector is experiencing exponential growth. While the wind and solar energy markets combined made up just 1.7% of global electricity generation in 2010, the share of renewables in global electricity generation jumped to 29% in 2020. Even better, high-capacity additions are becoming the ‘new normal’ in 2022, with renewables accounting for 90% of new power capacity expansion around the world.
