28th March 2008: EGL Energy solar power for oil industry

Solar for pipeline telemetryEGL Energy recently completed a project with one of the major international oil company. The project uses solar power system designed by EGL Energy to power remote oil pipeline radio telemetry stretching over 50km in Oman.

The solar kit designed by EGL Energy is quick and easy to deploy. The solar tower is versatile and can be installed anywhere along the facility. The solar power is very stable for the radio telemetry equipment, allowing the operations people to monitor the pipeline from the remote control office.

Using renewable energy saved the customer a huge investment in diesel generators, fuel tank facilities construction and on-going high maintenance associated with 20KVA diesel generator power solutions.

EGL Energy's AGM deep-cycle batteries perform well day and night, even in extreme desert weather conditions.

23rd December 2007: Christmas message

Thank you for your support in 2007.

Wind power installations around the world have reduced CO2 emissions by 5% this year. This is equivalent to replacing 23 medium-sized coal fired power plants. That's good news for the environment. At the same time, with the fast increasing oil and natural gas prices, the returns on investment in renewable energy projects are becoming sooner than expected.

Many leading countries, including China, have successfully implemented their renewable energy mandates and achieved over their initial targets. How have these countries done it? The answer is simple. They pay for it. They have made a political decision that all renewables are desirable and needed, in fact they are needed now.

In 2007, EGL Energy has achieved significant success especially in the introduction of wind-solar hybrid power solutions into government sectors. Some projects worth mentioning include the adoption of EGL's wind-solar solutions by the Hong Kong government housing department; the implementation the world's first wifi network powered solely by wind and solar energy by the government of the Republic of Nauru.

In the coming year, EGL Energy will continue to introduce innovative solutions to help tackle the energy and environmental issues. We look forward to your continuous support and efforts to promote renewable energy to your organisations, customers and countries.

From all the staff at EGL Energy, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy reNewable Year.

25th November 2007: Oceanic Broadband built the world's first wind-solar powered wifi network

Hybrid WifiEGL Energy partner Oceanic Broadband has recently completed the installation work of a state-of-art Wi-fi/Wi-max network powered only by renewable energy source. Situated in Nauru, a small island-nation in the Pacific, the wind-solar hybrid wifi service is the world's first true wireless network.

The solution is based on Colubris Wi-fi transmitters and receivers on a Wi-max backbone to provide full service coverage for the island. All 40 repeater and base stations are powered by EGL Enegy wind turbines and solar modules. This solves the power issues without damaging the island natural eco-system and environment.

Oceanic Broadband will be promoting this world-class solution at the Satcom Australia 2007 at Soffitel Hotel, Sydney, 3rd - 5th December 2007. Click here to see photos of Nauru installation.
