| Bilfinger Berger joins Desertec initiative German builder Bilfinger Berger has joined the Desertec industrial initiative (Dii) as an Associated Partner. The construction and services Group sees the project as a tremendous opportunity for its services business in particular. The objective of the Desertec project is to cover about 15 percent of Europe's electricity needs with solar and wind energy by the year 2050. The project includes plans to produce electricity from extensive solar and wind power plants in countries across North Africa and the Middle East and connect them to the European grid through a series of pipelines. A significant portion of electricity needs in the countries where the electricity is produced will also be covered. Dii, the planning company, is working hard to ensure that this ambitious concept becomes reality in the near future. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
