The national output of hydro-electricity decreased by 3.52% due to abnormally low precipitation, despite the construction of new dams to increase generation capacity by 6.69% in 2011 [8].
Kenya aims to increase generation capacity by 5000 MW by 2016 and by 23,000 MW by 2030 (Government of Kenya 2007; USAID 2015).
Such an approach is of great significance to society as it has least impact on both the society and environment and at the same time it results in availability of more energy and increased generation capacity.
Power system short-circuit fault current level has kept rising due to a variety of reasons, such as the increasing demand for electricity with economic development [1, 2], increasing installed generation capacity of power systems, increasing construction of the transmission network, etc.
"This would add greater resilience to the power and propulsion system by increasing electrical generation capacity".
China's reliance on coal – it is the largest consumer and producer – peaked in 2013, according to the data, and its falling coal consumption and increasing renewable generation capacity will "transform the global outlook".
Horn says demand for electricity in Europe is increasing, but generation capacity has been stagnant.
North Korea also plans to increase electricity generation capacity by building coal-fired power plants and hydropower plants, and to increase transmission capacity by extending grids to all secondary cities.
We've more than doubled the amount of renewable electricity we produce, and increased renewables generation capacity threefold.
At a time when the region must increase electrical generation capacity (front page, Aug. 14) and with the cost of natural gas having doubled since last year (news item, Aug. 15), New York City is rushing toward a 20-year contract to export its own valuable fuel resource -- garbage.
