MEMBRANES TO ‘TAKE

WATER PURIFICATION
About 400 million of the global
population are already using
desalinated water especially in
Israel, Saudi Arabia, and
Australia, and estimates show that
in a decade 14 per cent of people
will have to resort to sea water to
address the freshwater supply
shortage. However, according to
researchers from the University of
Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, CNT
membranes can be a cost
effective solution for water
purification.

Brazil Acknowledges Severe Power Generation
Crisis- Fox News Latino
Brazil's mines and energy minister
on Wednesday acknowledged the
serious, drought-triggered crisis
affecting the nation's electricity
generation system, but he said the
risk of rationing is minimal.
Eduardo Braga appeared before
Brazil's lower house of Congress to
discuss the national electrical
system in the wake of several recent
blackouts, a situation that experts
say could worsen in the short-term
due to scant rainfall during the
Southern Hemisphere summer,
which ends on March 21.
The
reservoirs
of
Brazil's
hydroelectric dams, which account
for around 70 percent of the
country's
installed
generating
capacity, are at their lowest levels
since 2001, when the South
American nation was forced to
implement a strict energy rationing
regime.

Spain's Iberdrola to buy UIL Holdings for
about $3 billion – Reuters
(Reuters) - Spanish utility Iberdrola SA (IBE.MC) will buy UIL Holdings Corp
(UIL.N) for about $3 billion to create a new listed power and gas company
and expand in the United States, where it hopes to offset falling profits at
home.
A world leader in wind turbines, Iberdrola joins other European companies
seeking to grow via acquisitions outside sluggish domestic markets. Last
year, German engineer Siemens (SIEGn.DE) agreed to buy U.S. turbine
maker Dresser-Rand (DRC.N) -Read More Here
Nuclear Power
Firms Feel
Squeeze– Wall Street
Journal
Future nuclear power plant
development in the U.S. looks
dismal as cost overruns and
multiyear delays plague four new
reactors under construction in
Georgia and South Carolina.
Southern Co. , the Atlanta-based
power utility that dominates much
of the Southeastern U.S.,
recently told Georgia regulators
that costs have ballooned by $1.4
billion for its minority stake in the
Vogtle nuclear power plant
expansion in Waynesboro, Ga.
The company’s Georgia Power
utility is now on the hook to
spend $7.5 billion for its 46%
share, while municipal utilities
own the rest. - Read More Here

Eversource Energy Agrees to Sell All Its
N.H. Power Plants– Concord Monitor

Eversource Energy will sell all of its New Hampshire power plants, including
coal-burning Merrimack Station, under a settlement agreement announced
yesterday that the company and lawmakers say will save ratepayers
millions of dollars in the long term.
Office:
The plan needs sign-off from state regulators, and it depends on the
passage of legislation that Republican Sen. Jeb Bradley introduced
yesterday.
Know of a project current or in
the future and want to explore
the option of working with
Rev1?
But Eversource – formerly Public Service of New Hampshire – predicts that
the settlement will lead to $300 million in savings over the next five years.
