The city of Aspen wants to add a second turbine and generator unit to its hydroelectric plant at the base of Ruedi Dam, which officials say will allow for more power generation during times of ...

Jet engines are relatively simple in their basic design, but advancements in gas turbine engine technology have mostly done away with the cool-looking bucket-type reverse thrust systems.

The temporary closure, the second within two years, is planned for August-September pending the full onboarding onto the national grid of the 600-megawatts Karuma hydro-dam power, multiple sources ...
