Renewable energy includes sources of power that are replaceable or non-depletable within a reasonable time frame. Sources of power such as solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and hydropower are usually classified as renewable.

Solar

Solar energy is heat or light shining on the earth from the sun. The heat and light we experience everyday are obvious examples of solar energy.

For more information visit the solar energy section of this site.

Wind

Wind is an indirect form of solar energy. Heat from the sun warms the air in the atmosphere creating regions of high and low pressure and causing the air to move.

For more information visit the wind energy section of this site.

Biomass

Biomass is biological material (plant or animal) that can be used to generate electricity.

For more information visit the biomass section of this site.

Geothermal

Geothermal energy is heat available from the earth. Some of this heat energy finds its way to the surface in the form of hot springs or geysers

For more information visit the geothermal energy section of this site.

Hydropower

Hydropower is electricity that has been generated from moving water.
