The first solar panel in history came into being at the end of the 19th century, but the use of the sun as an energy source dates back to the very origins of mankind. The history of photovoltaic technology has been shaped by various scientific advances that came one after another to obtain electricity from the sun. Find out about its origin, its evolution and why it’s one of the main sources of renewable energy.
Offshore wind farms’ location is carefully chosen taking into account a number of factors to maximise energy generation and minimise environmental and social impacts. Find out what the criteria are for selecting the best locations for offshore wind farms.

Electrical energy is a form of energy resulting from the flow of charged particles, such as electrons, through a conductor. Its main value lies in its versatility, its energy efficiency and its low environmental impact when used with renewable sources.
The Whitelee battery energy storage system, with an installed capacity of 50 MW, is located just a few kilometres from Glasgow (south-west of Scotland), next to our Whitelee onshore wind farm with almost 540 MW of renewable capacity.
