Hoggan & Associates Inc.: 'Clean' Companies Beat Overall Canadian and U.S. Stock Markets in 2009

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA-- Jan. 20, 2010

- Market value scoreboards: Hoggan lists top Canadian and B.C. clean companies

- Investors choose revenue producing clean energy/tech companies over pie-in-the-sky

The largest clean energy/technology companies traded on Canada's two major stock exchanges dramatically outperformed the overall Canadian and United States equity markets in 2009, according to the latest update of the Hoggan 20-10 Clean Company List released today.

- The average value gain of the 20 largest clean energy/technology companies traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) was 75% compared with the TSX composite average's 31% gain.

- The average value gain of the 10 largest clean energy/technology companies traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture (TSXV) market was 161% compared with the TSXV composite average's 91% gain.

- In the U.S., the S&P 500 increased 23.5%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 7.37% and the NASDAQ composite average increased 43.9%.

The Hoggan 20-10 Clean Company List includes the 20 largest clean energy/technology companies traded on the TSX and the 10 largest clean energy/technology companies traded on the TSXV as measured by market value at close of trading December 31, 2009.

The lists are updated quarterly by Hoggan & Associates, a Vancouver-based communication firm that specializes in the clean energy/technology sector, and based on market data reported by the Toronto Stock Exchange. (1) (2)

Shafiq Jamal, Hoggan & Associates Executive Vice President, said the best of these companies have received investor support because they have been able to effectively demonstrate their increasing operating revenues from renewable energy projects or from sales of technology.

"Investors have shown they are not interested in pie-in-the-sky ideas. They are interested in companies that can fill the huge need for commercial alternatives to fossil fuels and energy waste," said Jamal. "Clean energy/technology companies that want to compete successfully for investor attention must effectively demonstrate that their business plans are leading to commercial products and services that generate revenue and profits."

"The Toronto Stock Exchange has become the global leader for clean energy/technology listings - and the Hoggan 20-10 and B.C. Clean 15 lists are scoreboards highlighting the success these companies are having at attracting investors," said Jamal.

Hoggan 20-10 Clean Company List

The biggest market value increases for TSX clean energy/technology companies in 2009 were achieved by:

- Brookfield Renewable Power Fund, which owns, operates and invests in hydroelectric generating stations located on nine river systems in three provinces and New England, whose market value increased $128% to $2 billion.

Green Investor News - Energy Conversion Devices (Nasdaq: ENER) Announces Plan To Build Manufacturing Facility in France

Energy Conversion Devices (Nasdaq: ENER) Announces Plan To Build Manufacturing Facility in France


ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (ECD) (Nasdaq: ENER), the leading global manufacturer of thin-film flexible solar laminate products for the building integrated and commercial rooftop markets, today announced plans to establish a 30MW solar laminate manufacturing facility in France. The company has started its initial site selection process and is evaluating various sites, particularly in the Alsace region.


Mark Morelli, ECD's president and chief executive officer, said, "France is one of the world's fastest growing and most progressive solar markets. It has expressed its long-term support of alternative energy in the Grenelle de l'environnement objectives, and the recent change to its feed-in-tariff structure establishes a sustainable foundation to meet those objectives. We are pleased that France is continuing to support the development of high added-value technology and innovative solutions like UNI-SOLAR® laminates, which protect the aesthetics of France's cultural heritage by integrating into the building architecture. We are also pleased that France is clearly showing leadership to avoid the speculative bubble we have seen in solar energy in other markets in the past."
"We relocated our European headquarters to Paris last year, and believe it is now an excellent time to locate manufacturing in this market close to our channel partners and customers. With the new tariff structure resolved, and the high concentration of low-load bearing buildings that are ideally suited for our lightweight and low impact UNI-SOLAR solutions, we see growing demand for our solar products in France. We look forward to working with French officials to identify the right support to realize this project, and to create local jobs in both research and development and manufacturing," added Mr. Morelli.
Expected terms of the project, including anticipated launch date, were not disclosed and are subject to completion.

Green Investor News - Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) Appoints New Executive to Lead Wind Power Development

Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) Appoints New Executive to Lead Wind Power Development

Download image CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 15 -- Duke Energy Generation Services, part of Duke Energy's commercial businesses, has appointed Tony Dorazio as senior vice president for wind energy development.


Dorazio, who previously helped launch London-based BP Alternative Energy's wind power business, will lead the project development efforts of a rapidly expanding Duke Energy unit.
Duke Energy Generation Services, or DEGS, owns and operates 733 megawatts of clean, renewable electric generation at seven wind farms in Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming. The company expects to bring an additional 251 megawatts on line in 2010 through the construction of wind farms in Wyoming and Colorado.

"As an outside observer, I've watched Duke Energy quickly emerge as a national wind energy leader," Dorazio said. "I look forward to taking the company's wind development efforts to an even higher level in the years ahead."
Dorazio's role will focus on the development of DEGS' wind power projects, including wind farm site selection, permit application processes, marketing projects to potential large-scale electricity buyers and identifying opportunities to grow the business.

$2.3 Billion in New Clean Energy Manufacturing Tax Credits

$2.3 Billion in New Clean Energy Manufacturing Tax Credits
January 8, 2010
http://www.energy.gov/
President Obama announced awardees of the clean energy manufacturing tax credit in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
In order to foster investment and job creation in clean energy manufacturing, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act included a tax credit for investments in manufacturing facilities for clean energy technologies. The Section 48C program will provide a 30 percent tax credit for investments in 183 manufacturing facilities for clean energy products across 43 states.
This tax credit program will help build a robust high technology, US manufacturing capacity to supply clean energy projects with US made parts and equipment. These manufacturing facilities should also support significant growth in US exports of US manufactured clean energy products.
The $2.3 billion in tax credits is being allocated on a competitive basis. Projects are assessed based on the following criteria,: commercial viability, domestic job creation, technological innovation, speed to project completion, and potential for reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The Department of Energy also considered additional factors including diversity of geography, technology and project size, and regional economic development.
The program is currently capped at $2.3 billion in tax credits and was oversubscribed by a ratio of more than 3 to 1, reflecting a deep pipeline of high quality clean energy manufacturing opportunities in the U.S. These tax credits for clean energy manufacturing will help rebuild domestic manufacturing and bring private capital off the sidelines.
With this announcement, IRS has certified applications (MS Excel), and notified the certified projects with the approved amount of their tax credit. Awardees will receive acceptance agreements from the IRS by April 16, 2010. Credits will be allocated until the program funding ($2.3 billion) is exhausted. Subsequent allocation periods will depend on remaining funds.
Estimated Jobs Impact and Timeline of the 48C Manufacturing Tax Credits:Recovery Act investments of up to $2.3 billion for advanced energy manufacturing facilities will generate more than 17,000 jobs. This investment will be matched by as much as $5.4 billion in private sector funding likely supporting up to 41,000 additional jobs.
Timing of Projects: The statute authorizing the 48C tax credits allows projects that are completed on or after February 17, 2009, when the Recovery Act was signed. Projects must be commissioned before February 17, 2013. The statute favors the selection of projects that are in service early. As a result, some of the selected projects already have been completed and begun operation.
Applicant Pool:The application deadline for the 48C program was October 16, 2009. Over 500 applications were received with tax credit requests totaling over $8 billion. The 48C applications pool was distributed across many clean energy technologies and was geographically distributed to more than 40 states.
Qualifying manufacturing facilities included the production of a wide range of clean energy products:
Solar, wind, geothermal, or other renewable energy equipment
Electric grids and storage for renewables
Fuel cells and microturbines
Energy storage systems for electric or hybrid vehicles
Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration equipment
Equipment for refining or blending renewable fuels
Equipment for energy conservation, including lighting and smart grid technologies
Plug-in electric vehicles or their components, such as electric motors, generators, and power control units
Other advanced energy property designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may also be eligible as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The statutorily specified review criteria included:
Greatest domestic job creation (direct and indirect)
Greatest net impact in avoiding or reducing air pollutants or emissions of greenhouse gases; lowest levelized cost of energy
Greatest potential for technological innovation and commercial deployment
Shortest project time from certification to completion
Expanded Support for 48C Tax Credits to Accelerate Manufacturing Job Creation:Because the 48C program generated far more interest than anticipated, DOE and Treasury have a substantial backlog of technically acceptable applications. Instead of turning down worthy applicants who are willing to invest private resources to build and equip factories that manufacture clean energy products in America, the Administration has called on Congress to provide an additional $5 billion to expand the program. Because there is already an existing pipeline of worthy projects and substantial interest in this area, these funds will be deployed quickly to create jobs and support economic activity. In doing so, the Administration will employ new approaches to ensure that we maximize private investment for every dollar we invest.

SunEdison and Xcel Energy Strike Deal for 50MW (AC) / 55MW (DC) of Solar PV Energy in New Mexico System to Be Fully Operational by the End of 2011

SunEdison and Xcel Energy Strike Deal for 50MW (AC) / 55MW (DC) of Solar PV Energy in New Mexico System to Be Fully Operational by the End of 2011

Will Produce Enough Clean Solar Energy to Power 10,000 Homes

SANTA FE, N.M--SunEdison, North America’s largest solar energy services provider, a subsidiary of MEMC Electronic Materials (NYSE: WFR), and Xcel Energy’s regional operating company, Southwestern Public Service Company, today announced a deal for five photovoltaic solar installations in New Mexico that will total 50 megawatts (MW) in generation capacity.

“I am most appreciative of SunEdison and Xcel Energy for working together for a renewable energy source that will serve southeastern New Mexico and West Texas. This will be of benefit not only as an additional source of energy but also as economic development for Lea and Eddy Counties.”.The five 10MW sites, to be located in Lea and Eddy counties in southeastern New Mexico, will comprise a utility-scale, ground-mount system that will be fully operational by the end of 2011. In total, the installations will generate enough power for more than 10,000 homes in its first full year of operation.

This total project will enable Xcel Energy to continue meeting New Mexico’s renewable portfolio standard, which requires that regulated electric utilities meet 15 percent of their electricity needs by 2015, and 20 percent by 2020, through renewable energy sources.

The five installations will be built, financed and maintained by SunEdison, under a 20-year solar power services agreement (SPSA) with Xcel Energy, which will buy the solar power generated by the plant.

“We are thrilled to begin harvesting New Mexico’s rich solar resources, and we are equally proud to add this project to our growing base of wind energy, as we diversify our renewable energy portfolio,” said Riley Hill, president and CEO of Southwestern Public Service Company, an Xcel Energy company. “We are also pleased to be working with SunEdison, a leader in solar development with the experience and financial strength to ensure a smooth project completion.”

This project eclipses the 8.22MW (DC) solar power system SunEdison activated for Xcel Energy in Alamosa, Colorado in December 2007. At 50MW, the Xcel Energy project will be one of the largest in North America.

Governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson said the project reflects New Mexico’s sustained commitment to solar energy leadership. “Excellent natural resources, competitive incentives and pro business policies have positioned New Mexico at the forefront of the clean energy economy, and our commitment continues to generate economic development and well-paying jobs throughout the state,” Governor Richardson said.

New Mexico State Senator, Carroll Leavell commented, “I am most appreciative of SunEdison and Xcel Energy for working together for a renewable energy source that will serve southeastern New Mexico and West Texas. This will be of benefit not only as an additional source of energy but also as economic development for Lea and Eddy Counties.”

Lisa Hardison, interim president of the Economic Development Corporation of Lea County, said, “Thanks to Xcel Energy, our vision to brand and market Lea County as the EnergyPlex is becoming more and more a reality,” Hardison said. “Xcel Energy’s infrastructure and commitment to the Renewable Portfolio Standard – energy development, overall – are critical to our efforts. With SunEdison in the EnergyPlex now, we have the nation’s most significant energy players across the petroleum, nuclear and renewables industries developing their projects right here.”

Some system facts:

Once completed, it is estimated the five 10MW systems will:

•Power more than 10,000 homes in the first full year of operation by producing 110 million kWh. •Produce over 2 billion kWh of clean solar energy over a 20-year lifespan. That is enough energy to power over 187,000 homes for one year. •Offset more than 1.3 million metric tons of CO2 over a 20-year lifespan, equivalent of removing more than 290,000 cars from the road for one year. Carlos Domenech, President of SunEdison and Executive Vice President of MEMC, noted, "Xcel Energy is a visionary electric utility. The company understands how to make utility-scale renewable energy a reality. Their vision enabled by the local and state leadership will facilitate the creation of green jobs in New Mexico.” Domenech continues, “SunEdison welcomes the opportunity to bring its proven track record in utility-scale solar, financial strength and the most cost-effective technologies to address Xcel Energy’s needs.”

IBM and Dassault Systèmes Help European Automaker Create Digital Design Infrastructure to Speed Up Delivery of Fuel Efficient


VELIZY, FRANCE and MUNICH, GERMANY and ARMONK, NYMar 12, 2009 -- IBM (NYSE:IBM ) and Dassault Systèmes (DS) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) today announced BMW's use of a single digital software environment for the design of all BMW engines across its fuel and diesel-powered cars, motorcycles, and its newest line of eco-friendly, hybrid cars including the industry's first hydrogen-powered vehicle.


Using IBM and Dassault Systemes 3D digital design software, product manufacturers can speed up the product design process with partners and suppliers globally by sharing information across a digital infrastructure platform to ensure product quality and performance.

· http://www.ibm.com/solutions/plm · http://www.ibm.com/press With the use of CATIA software, a 3D virtual design platform, engineers can consolidate design environments and create a single reference model for the design of all future BMW engines. IBM and Dassault Systèmes PLM experts have helped the automaker to harmonize and consolidate all design initiatives into a digital infrastructure that provides the latest technologies to aid in the software simulation, calculation and testing of new engine models.

As industrial sector companies intensify efforts to deliver more value to customers, they are using smart technology to help launch a new class of products. For example, working with IBM and Dassault Systèmes, BMW has developed a series of software design initiatives aimed at equipping new cars with fuel-saving technologies. From designing smaller engines to increasing piston and cylinder performance for better ignition and fuel performance, product lifecycle management software continues to play a key role in the intelligent design of new products.
In the past, aerodynamicists, physicists, and product engineers relied on CAD geometry and manual changes to create new design models. With CATIA, product designers can use multiple engineering applications to significantly enhance a manufacturer's ability to share master versions of an engine design before signing off on production and manufacturing plans.

"BMW is in a leadership position to speed up change in the auto industry. With a digital design infrastructure, a company can quickly respond to consumer changes and production demand by having immediate access to global design plans and making those updates digitally so they are instantly shared across global manufacturing sites and with partners in the supply chain," said Steve Mills, senior vice president and group executive, IBM Software.

Using CATIA software, BMW has shipped 22 new cars with engines that produce less than 140 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kilometer, an achievement that meets the goals set by Kyoto Protocol participants in 1992 as part of an international treaty on climate change to reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally.

"We are convinced that the extended deployment of our 3D PLM software across all BMW divisions will deliver quick results for BMW and its customers," said Bruno Latchague, executive vice president, Dassault Systèmes. "BMW can now streamline all its design and product development activities on a single platform that is easy to share with its suppliers. This reflects an important move in times where return on investment is more critical than ever."

A pioneer in the 3D software market since 1981, Dassault Systèmes develops and markets PLM application software and services that support industrial processes and provide a 3D vision of the entire lifecycle of products from conception to maintenance to recycling. The Dassault Systèmes portfolio consists of CATIA for designing the virtual product -- SolidWorks for 3D mechanical design -- DELMIA for virtual production -- SIMULIA for virtual testing -- ENOVIA for global collaborative lifecycle management, and 3DVIA for online 3D lifelike experiences.
