The funds will be used to increase generation capacity to 1 gigawatt from 295 megawatts in two years. India, currently the third-biggest in wind market, is attracting investments as the cost of wind power drops and fossil-fuel imports increases, making renewable energy more competitive with coal. Developers? bids in auctions for coal-fired power stations have ranged from $49 to $78 a megawatt-hour, compared with tariffs for wind farms between $66 and $105 a megawatt-hour. http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2013/01/green-infra-seeking-150-million-for-wind-farms-considers-ipo?cmpid=rss Hanergy Acquires Solar Panel Maker MiaSole Hanergy Holding Group Ltd. bought MiaSole Inc., a California-based thin-film panel maker, to increase capacity in anticipation of a solar industry revival.The acquisition by the Beijing-based renewable-energy producer is its second in a less than a year after it bought the Solibro unit of Germany. Chinese renewable-energy companies, including solar-wafer maker LDK Solar Co., are buying companies in the west, where slowing demand and rising supply have trimmed profit margins. The purchases also give Hanergy technology to compete with First Solar Inc., the biggest maker of thin-film panels by shipments. http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2013/01/hanergy-buys-thin-film-solar-panel-maker-miasole?cmpid=rss Yingli Ships Record Number of PV Panels Yingli Green Energy Holding Co.
