    WUHAN, CHINA - APRIL 27: Chinese workers from Wuhan Guangsheng Photovoltaic Company install solar panels on the roof of a building on April 27, 2017 in Wuhan, China. As the world's most populated nation, China consumes more electricity and creates more carbon emissions than any other country. Yet it is also the world's leader in renewable energy, known for its sprawling solar fields and large-scale wind turbine projects in western rural areas. Greenpeace estimates that by 2030 renewable energy could replace fossil fuels as China's primary source of power. However, much of the energy being produced by rural projects is wasted during transmission to urban areas or by rising curtailment rates (a measure of potential supply lost to low consumption). To harness the potential for renewable energy to power China's expanding cities, solar and wind projects are increasingly being brought into urban areas where supplies can be generated and consumed locally. In Wuhan, a relatively small Chinese city with a population of 10.6 million, rooftop solar panel systems being installed on houses and buildings to provide energy and subsidies to owners. Any surplus energy is sold to the state power grid, though there are often delays in bringing new renewable projects into the grid system. Still, the concept is slowly gaining acceptance among urban consumers who find it increasingly accessible, according to Wuhan Guangsheng Photovoltaic Company, which is responsible for more than 80 percent of the city's installations. To ease the country's longtime dependence on coal and other fossil fuels, China's government has made strategic investments in the solar panel industry which has created intense global competition in the estimated $100 billion global solar energy market.

    Nest scheme in strategic push to protect retirement savings from environmental change

    The Scroby Sands Wind Farm, is the first of its kind on the Norfolk coast. Located on the Scroby Sands sandbank in the North Sea, 2.5 kilometres off the coast of Great Yarmouth in eastern England, United Kingdom. It was commissioned in March 2004 by Powergen Renewables Offshore, a division of E.ON UK. 
									It has a nameplate capacity of 60 megawatts and is able to produce power to supply 41,000 households. In comparation the Dudgeon Wind Farm will produce power to supply up to 410.000 households.
									
									The farm consists of 30 wind turbines, located in water from 13 to 20 metres deep. Each turbine has three 40-metre blades that rotate around a centre-point some 60 metres above the mean sea level. The hollow 4.5-metre  diameter steel masts that carry the turbines are piled as much as 30 metres into the sea bed, to provide stability on a substrate of shifting sands.
									
									The wind turbines were designed and manufactured by a Danish firm, Vestas. Each turbine has a capacity of 2 megawatts. Turbines were installed by the Danish offshore wind farms services provider A2SEA. 
									
									The wind farm has an information centre serving around 35,000 visitors per year, and has become a local attraction.
