GEM have researched and invested in new forms of renewable energy this is encouraged by government body because of the rising demands of the current state of our planet.
The demands have been set in place because of the increase of global warning and our aim is to provide the public with energy without creating the emissions that cause greenhouse effects which pollutes and kills our environment.

The other main objective is to lower our customer bills, so is about time we start using technologies that can generate renewable electricity. At G.E.M we are investing money into renewable energy sources; solar absorbs energy from the sun light rays that hit earth.

Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells. The amazing thing is that these can generate electricity just by the sunlight hitting the solar panels, for example small items like calculators that need small amounts of electricity to run. Small simple solar cells are fitted to them and then they just can run off just sunlight. The sunlight charges up a small battery as well the calculator so that it can run consistently even when its night time.

Wind is another renewable energy source, this works by using big tall wind turbines. These are normally placed in remote parts of the country. Even though it's a renewable energy source, people see this as damaging the environment by creating an eye saw.

Hydropower is designed to renew energy from water, countries all over the world have built big dams this builds up a huge lake. This controls the build up of water then when the time is rite they release it.

The water passes through massive turbines then the pressure of the water drives the turbines and generates electricity. So as you can see from some of the examples Renewable energy is an on going process which one day we hope it will become part of normal life so we can put a stop to using fossil fuels and just use renewable energy.
