Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc (OTCBB:CWET) www.cleanwindenergytower.com
Clean Wind Energy, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc, is designing and preparing to develop, and construct large “Downdraft Towers” that use benevolent, non-toxic natural elements to generate electricity and clean water economically by integrating and synthesizing numerous proven as well as emerging technologies. In addition to constructing Downdraft Towers in the United States and abroad, the Company intends to establish partnerships at home and abroad to propagate these systems and meet increasing global demand for clean water and electricity.
Clean Wind has assembled a team of experienced business professionals, engineers and scientists with access to the breakthrough energy research upon which this technology is founded and the proven ability to bring the idea to market. Clean Wind has filed several patents that the Company believes will further enhance this potentially revolutionary technology.
Dual Renewable Energy Technology
The Downdraft Tower is a hollow cylinder with a water spray system at the top. Pumps deliver water to the top of the Downdraft Tower to spray a fine mist across the entire opening. The water evaporates and cools the hot dry air at the top. The cooled air is more dense and heavier than the outside warmer air and falls through the cylinder at speeds up to 50 mph, driving the turbines located at the base of the structure. The turbines are attached to generators to produce electricity. The exterior of the Downdraft Tower is constructed with vertical “wind vanes” that run the entire length of the structure. The Downdraft Tower's vanes capture the prevailing wind and channel it through a separate system of tunnels to turn turbines attached to generators that produce additional electrical power. This dual renewable energy resource enhances the capability and productivity of the Clean Wind system.

Environmental
Various parties in the United States and other nations are pursuing clean energy solutions that use efficient and cost- effective renewable resources to serve society while avoiding the adverse effects associated with fossil and nuclear fuels, and also the obvious limitations of solar collectors that work only when the sun shines or wind turbines that work only when the wind blows.
The Downdraft Tower has the capability of being operated with virtually no carbon footprint, fuel consumption, or waste production and this technology has the potential to generate clean, cost effective and efficient electrical power without the damaging effects caused by using fossil or nuclear fuels, and other conventional power sources. The Company also believes that increasing emphasis on green technologies and governmental incentives in the energy industry should have a positive long-term effect on the Company's planned business and the wind energy industry in general.
Partners
The Company has entered into a number of agreements with potential partners to meet the development aspects of the tower. Specifically, three of the largest companies in the world are working with clean wind providing final bids to meet the tower's specifications.

Cleantech Stocks Q&A with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor Newsletter

Cleantech Stocks Q&A with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor Newsletter

In Environment of Rising Oil Prices, Levine Sees Major Investment Opportunities in Cleantech

New York, NY, Point Roberts WA, March 3, 2011 – Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector investing including cleantech presents a Q&A with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor newsletter, discussing why cleantech's outlook is excellent for both the short and longer term. Josh discusses his research model for identifying the best pure plays within the sector.

Investorideas.com Interview:

Q: Investorideas.com

Josh, with oil prices surging above $100, cleantech is getting a lot more attention again from Wall Street and independent investors. I know you look at the long term investment picture, so what do you think is driving cleantech and what is your outlook for opportunities in this sector?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor

Let's first qualify what is meant by the term cleantech. Cleantech is often used interchangeably with green technologies and alternative energy, but it seems to be the one that's emerged to encompass all these things. Cleantech essentially covers technologies that are more energy-efficient than conventional technologies and offer more environmentally-friendly alternatives to fossil-fuel-driven energy applications.

Broadly speaking, the world is always moving towards more efficient use of resources. Year after year and decade after decade, we manage to get more out of a given amount of resources. The first industrial revolution was powered by coal and though it provided tremendous gains in production, the pollution negatively impacted the quality of life and health of millions of people.

In the past century, while coal continued to have a prominent role, oil reigned as the fuel of choice because its energy density is so high, it was incredibly abundant, and it's easy to transport. The downside is that the oil supply is finite and that the burning of it leaves an undesirable byproduct. Today, it's becoming increasingly more costly to find and produce new oil -- and that's critical in the energy equation.

This brings us to cleantech opportunities, which are only just emerging after very long periods of incubation in research and development. What's happening today is a huge shift in the consciousness of governments, corporations and consumers. Of course lots of people are talking about energy efficiency, but there are also many now taking action on all levels.

Several things are driving this shift toward cleantech including climate change, the fear of running out of global oil supplies, rising world population and the limits of natural resources, higher energy costs, and environmental concerns. And then there's the surging demand from China. That's a pretty powerful mix. And when we combine these forces with the progress being made in new energy technologies, investors have a remarkable opportunity for profits.

The first electric cars are hitting the road this year after several years of hybrids, and the prospects for broad adoption over the next several years are very promising. With this comes the need for infrastructure to support car charging and that will spawn huge investments in the electric grid and networks to support these new vehicles around the U.S. and all over the world.

Of course solar and wind will continue to grow as their costs approach parity with conventional energy and they address important niches in the energy sphere. Additionally, there are so many other technologies that are part of the cleantech ecosystem and critical to the development of these markets, including batteries, fuel cells, inverters, demand response and energy management systems, ultracapacitors, superconductor cables and so much more.

To succeed in cleantech, investors really need to stay focused on the bigger picture and to be patient. The energy space moves far slower than, for example, the IT world, so developments unfold at a different rate. But once these technologies start gaining market traction, the valuations of the leading small innovative cleantech companies will generate fantastic returns for investors who got an early start.


Q: Investorideas.com

You recently just added a new cleantech stock to your portfolio. Can you give us some insight as to what qualified this particular stock based on your investing model?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor

My latest recommendation in unusual company which has developed and commercialized environmentally safe alternatives to plastics used for food containers, utensils, product wraps, as well as a wide range of parts in autos and many other things. Importantly, it meets all of my most important criteria for a great microcap investment.

As a cleantech play, this company's biodegradeable and completely safe products can replace petroleum-based polypropylene packaging. The result is less use of oil and a better outcome for the environment. It's a strong proposition.

It's a classic microcap story with all of the fundamentals in place for soaring growth -- a unique technology platform that's been validated by major customers worldwide, an experienced and proven management team, and powerful market drivers bolstered by increasing demand.

This company is addressing markets representing annual sales in the tens of billions of dollars, it has proven technology and products that are being rapidly adopted by large corporate customers, it has manufacturing capacity to scale several times current production, and its products are already on parity with polypropylene now that oil prices are north of $100.

In 2010, sales revenue for this company was $6.3 million, a 133% increase versus 2009, and projected revenue for the 2011 full year is between $24 million and $32 million -- a whopping 300% to 400% increase over 2010!

With all this going for it, this company is still valued well below $100 million. That's the kind of microcap opportunity I absolutely love!


Q: Investorideas.com

With all the government incentives and funding from this administration, how much of a role does government play for you when you look at a sector or an individual stock?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor

First, it's important to point out that the oil and nuclear industries have enjoyed massive government subsidies forever. So it's totally ridiculous when some folks get all bent out of shape and complain about the unfair advantages for renewable energy.

Now, as for the role government plays, I would say that it is a factor on the sector level, especially as it concerns solar subsidies in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. But as we've seen, it's tough to bet on companies when from year to year you don't know what's going to happen regarding tax credits and other such things.

On the other hand, government R&D grants serve a great purpose for small companies since these funds essentially cover the costs for specific projects and enable firms with limited resources to explore technologies that they may otherwise have to put on the back burner.

There is one cleantech company in the MicroCap Investor portfolio that has benefitted considerably from government grants and the nice thing for shareholders is that any value created by these projects stays with the company.

On a final note, the government's role in basic scientific research has always been very fundamental for U.S. economic growth and that's one area that the Feds should continue to focus on. This is especially vital for energy technologies since venture capitalists and other investors don't have the patience or staying power required to take these technologies from lab to market.


Q: Investorideas.com

Within cleantech there are a lot of sub-sectors from smart grid to solar to wind to energy efficiency and others; what are you focusing on and why?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor

All of the above, but I'm especially looking at companies that solve big problems with elegant and cost-efficient solutions. There's got to be a powerful value proposition, adoption by key customers, multi-billion dollar markets, and fast-growing demand on a global scale.

There a wonderful opportunities in every segment of cleantech, but at the small company level an investor really needs to understand the dynamics of technologies and markets, not to mention to be able to evaluate management teams.

In the MicroCap Investor portfolio the cleantech companies are involved in energy storage, LED and other advanced lighting, equipment for large-scale solar projects, bioplastics, technologies for increasing the efficiency of the energy grid, and more.

I'm focusing on these companies because they could deliver profits of 100% to 1,000% over the next several years. In fact, I recently sold half of our position in one of these stocks to capture a 138% profit -- and that's just a small taste of what's ahead.


Q: Investorideas.com

What percentage of your portfolio is in the cleantech space currently and are you looking to add more companies in the space over this year?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor

About one-third of the MicroCap Investor portfolio is devoted to cleantech companies, and I've got several top prospects in my sights. It's tough to predict, but I suspect I'll be adding at least a couple of more cleantech plays to our portfolio this year.

It's really a matter of quality, not quantity, and I am extremely bullish on the current group we have today. Still, cleantech is a ripe sector and it will yield tremendous opportunities year after year for a very long time. Every growth-oriented investor should make sure a healthy portion of his or her equities portfolio is allocated to cleantech.

Wind Stocks; Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET) Unveils Green Renewable Energy Solution At NIBA Conference

Wind Stocks; Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET) Unveils Green Renewable Energy Solution At NIBA Conference

Visit this company: http://www.cleanwindenergytower.com/


Annapolis, Maryland - March 2, 2011 (InvestorIdeas.com Newswire) - Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET) announced that they would be presenting the Company at National Investment Banking Association (NIBA) Conference to be held on March 2-4, 2011 at the Westin Beach Resort & Spa in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The NIBA Conference will give Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. access to a large audience at one time, NIBA’s membership is vast and multinational, and representing over 8,800 registered reps with an estimated $78BB in assets under management.

The highlight of the Company's presentation given by Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO will be the formal unveiling of their Downdraft Tower featuring Green Dual Renewable Energy Solutions.

Mr. Pickett stated: "Reliable alternative energy is very different from just providing green solutions. The Tower produces energy 24/7. The Tower creates wind using natural solar energy and water. The Tower is actually a power plant with a predictable production of electricity. Knowing its cost of producing electricity for a long term separates the Tower from other alternative sources."

The Downdraft Tower is a hollow cylinder with a water spray system at the top. Pumps deliver water to the top of the Downdraft Tower to spray a fine mist across the entire opening. The water evaporates and cools the hot dry air at the top. The cooled air is more dense and heavier than the outside warmer air and falls through the cylinder at speeds up to 50 mph, driving the turbines located at the base of the structure. The turbines power generators to produce electricity. The Downdraft Tower has the capability of being operated with virtually no carbon footprint, fuel consumption, or waste production and this technology has the potential to generate clean, cost effective and efficient electrical power without the damaging effects caused by using fossil or nuclear fuels, and other conventional power sources.

Mr. Pickett also stated: "The exterior of the Downdraft Tower is constructed with vertical "wind vanes" that run the entire length of the structure. The Downdraft Tower's vanes capture the prevailing wind and channel it through a separate system of tunnels to turn turbines attached to generators that produce additional electrical power. This "Dual" Renewable Energy feature increases the Tower's production by approximately 30% while stabilizing the structure and actually reducing the construction cost."

The Company also believes that increasing emphasis on green technologies and governmental incentives in the energy industry should have a positive long-term effect on the Company's planned business and the wind energy industry in general.

About Clean Wind Energy, Inc. OTCBB: CWET

Clean Wind Energy, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc, is designing and preparing to develop, and construct large "Downdraft Towers" that use benevolent, non-toxic natural elements to generate electricity and clean water economically by integrating and synthesizing numerous proven as well as emerging technologies. In addition to constructing Downdraft Towers in the United States and abroad, the Company intends to establish partnerships at home and abroad to propagate these systems and meet increasing global demand for clean water and electricity.

Electric Car News; Tesla (NasdaqGS: TSLA ) Grows in Europe With Additional Sales and Service

Electric Car News; Tesla (NasdaqGS: TSLA ) Grows in Europe With Additional Sales and Service

Four Hundred European Roadsters have accumulated more than 3 million electric kilometers across the continent
GENEVA--(www.investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire )-- Tesla Motors has significantly expanded its European sales and service network in the last year as the automaker’s momentum builds from Granada, Spain to Stockholm, Sweden.

Sales in Europe have taken off in the past year, particularly in Germany and Switzerland where sports car enthusiasts have embraced the Roadster as a top performance car in addition to a zero-emissions vehicle. Responding to demand, Tesla opened new showrooms in Zurich, Copenhagen, Paris and Milan in the last year. In 2011, the company plans to launch service locations in Eindhoven, Netherlands and Oslo, Norway.

Tesla has now delivered more than 400 Roadsters in Europe. Together, they have travelled 2 million miles, saving more than 5,000 barrels of oil and about 500,000 kilograms of CO2 emissions.



“The Roadster has earned global appeal,” said Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk. “This latest delivery milestone proves Tesla is raising the bar for EVs. The Roadster’s advanced electric powertrain is the foundation of Tesla’s success.”



“18 months ago I got one of the first Tesla in Europe and my expectations got more than fulfilled,” said Lennart Hennig, who is also the owner of the 100th Roadster delivered in Germany.



Tesla is revolutionizing the automotive customer experience through its sales and service. European showrooms are designed to invite the public in to both purchase vehicles and learn about Tesla’s advanced electric powertrain technology.



Tesla has also expanded its mobile service squad in Europe. The Tesla Rangers are revolutionizing automotive service, responding to maintenance requests at Tesla owners’ homes and offices no matter where they are located. Rangers are able to diagnose issues remotely and can perform annual inspections, firmware upgrades and other services on site, creating a hassle-free customer experience.



Globally, Tesla’s fleet of over 1,500 Roadsters spans more than 30 countries. Collectively, they have accumulated close to 20 million kms in real-world driving, saving 25,000 barrels of oil and 2.2 million kilograms of CO2 emissions.



In 2010, Tesla launched the next-generation Roadster 2.5, demonstrating the company’s continuous innovation and close feedback loop with its engineers and customers.



About Tesla Motors

Tesla's goal is to produce a full range of electric cars, from premium sports cars to mass market vehicles – relentlessly driving down the cost of electric vehicles. It is currently the only automaker in the U.S. that builds and sells highway-capable EVs in serial production. Palo Alto, Calif.-based Tesla designs and manufactures EVs and EV powertrain components. Tesla has delivered more than 1,500 Roadsters to customers in North America, Europe and Asia. The Tesla Roadster accelerates faster than most sports cars yet produces no emissions.

Q&A with CEO of Green Car Dealership Company; EVCARCO (OTCBB:EVCA)

Q&A with CEO of Green Car Dealership Company; EVCARCO (OTCBB:EVCA)

Mack Sanders, C.E.O. of EVCARCO INC. Discusses the Future of
Green Cars as Oil Prices Rise

February 28, 2011 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Investorideas.com a leading global investor and industry portal covering the green and renewable energy sector released a recent interview with Mack Sanders, Chief Executive Officer of green car company, EVCARCO (OTCBB:EVCA).

With oil prices on the rise, Mr. Sanders discussed the potential future of his dealership/franchise business model for plug-in electric, alternative fuel, and pre-owned hybrid vehicles.

Interview

Q: Investorideas.com

Mack, you have recently joined EVCARCO as CEO, to lead the company with its vision of a green car dealership. Can you give us your background and what brought you to this company?

A: Mack Sanders
Thank you for this opportunity. I have been involved in nearly every facet of the Auto industry. I have over twenty years of operating automotive business in the southwest region, being involved with major franchise automotive dealers and services. In saying this, I look to bring EVCARCO into the future and make their plan of a social network of Eco-Friendly Alternative Fuel vehicles a reality now in today’s economic climate.

Q: Investorideas.com
On your company website, you show the locations of dealerships coming soon. Can you give us an idea of timelines?

A: Mack Sanders, Chief Executive Officer, EVCARCO INC.
We speak to ten to fifteen franchise leads a month. We feel as gas and oil prices increase, these will produce the franchisee with the investment to meet the requirements to open and develop EVCARCO locations. We currently plan to have four stores running within the next twelve months. As you readers are aware, the availability of product for the stores is where we spend the most time and money. Within the last two years, we have been involved with eight Electric Vehicle Manufacturers and from these, only two are still in business. We are looking to bring in three more after we have the chance to test these products.

Q: Investorideas.com
The company recently announced it will enter the natural gas vehicle market and sell CNG powered Foton MD 3000 medium-duty class 3-5 trucks at its green auto dealerships. Can you give us more details?

A: Mack Sanders, Chief Executive Officer, EVCARCO INC.
The natural gas alternative product is another example of EVCARCO’s scope of possibilities. This product answers the commercial application with outstanding results.
The average one to five businesses using this class of truck can realize 50% reduction in operating costs, as CNG fuel is half the cost of diesel fuel in any market. Combine this with the government incentives for point of purchase and rebates and this product saves money and maintains a cleaner footprint. We look for this product to be the most aggressive product yet. Foton is a large long standing manufacturer with a proven sales and service record. Through our two years of research, we find that 97% of the smaller alternative manufacturers just do not have a satisfactory sales plan, nor do they have any real service support. We, at EVCARCO, see the Foton product to provide the sales and service support necessary to maintain a long term successful customer base.

Q: Investorideas.com
With the recent spike in oil prices, is your company and website seeing an increase in interest and enquiries?

A: Mack Sanders, Chief Executive Officer, EVCARCO INC.
Yes, we have seen a daily increase in calls and emails. The best part of this answer is that EVCARCO has been on an island in the past working hard and only seeing small glimpses of results, like people waving from the deck of a cruise ship (“Wow doesn’t that look neat” or “My aren’t those cute”) We will see how that changes with a constant $4.00 a gallon gas price and $150.00 oil barrels. I think this is only the spark of interest.

Q: Investorideas.com
For investors looking at the company, you have an ambitious plan to roll out your dealerships and franchises. What happens next and will you be able to execute, is the number one question they are asking?

A: Mack Sanders, Chief Executive Officer, EVCARCO INC.
Progress always starts with ambition, I would expect this to be a “Grass Roots” undertaking that everyone would need to see succeed. We, at EVCARCO, are dedicated to the cause and the ranks are filing in behind us pushing this goal forward. Many have said we are ahead of the market, however with the current economic conditions here, as well as abroad, we clearly see the time is now. The only way small manufacturers are going to be successful building Electric Cars is to use the “EVCARCO” approach of branding a major franchise presentation to the general buying public. This will need to include all the selection, service, financing and advertising that they have come to respect in the market place. EVCARCO is a win-win pick for any investor, the only direction the alternative vehicle market can go is up. This is an opportunity to get onboard with a publicly traded company that has put in the investment and work to not only take this company public but also trademark a brand and obtain franchise licensing for nearly every State in the Union. EVCARCO is in a perfect position for EVERY Investor and the more investors that get involved, the more successful this “ambitious plan” will be!

Improving Corporate Climate Disclosure - New Ceres Report Highlights Need for Improvement, Best Practices

Improving Corporate Climate Disclosure - New Ceres Report Highlights Need for Improvement, Best Practices

NEW REPORT OUTLINES WHAT COMPANIES SHOULD BE DISCLOSING ON CLIMATE CHANGE RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

BOSTON///February 25, 2011- Amid growing evidence that climate change is impacting the global environment and the global economy, the Ceres investor coalition today announced a new report aimed at improving corporate disclosure of climate-related risks and opportunities they face.

The Ceres report, developed with input from its 90-plus member Investor Network on Climate Risk, outlines generally weak climate disclosure to date by businesses and steps for improving such disclosure, especially in annual 10-K financial filings that are next due from companies by March 31, 2011. It comes just a week after the consulting firm Mercer issued a new study warning that climate change could increase investment portfolio risk by 10 percent over the next 20 years.

"Adjusting to a world profoundly shaped by climate change is a key challenge for all leading companies," said Ceres president Mindy S. Lubber. "Ensuring that investors are getting timely, material information on climate-related impacts, including regulatory and physical impacts, is essential. This report sets the bar on what investors expect on climate disclosure so that they better understand which companies are well positioned for the future and which are not."

"As a long-term investor, we need a clear account of the environmental challenges and opportunities facing the companies we choose to invest in," added Anne Stausboll, chief executive officer of the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), the nation's largest public pension fund, which provided input on the report. "The roadmap offered by this report will guide all of us - investors and business alike - as we incorporate climate risk into our due diligence and our overall investment strategy."

The report, Disclosing Climate Risks & Opportunities in SEC Filings: A Guide for Corporate Executives, Attorneys & Directors, is available at www.ceres.org.
Today's report comes one year after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued formal interpretive guidance for companies on climate-related information they should be disclosing to investors in their 10-Ks or 20-Fs, as well as quarterly filings. The guidance, issued last February, capped a multi-year effort by leading investors, state law enforcement officials and others to boost corporate attention to the quality of their climate-related disclosure.
The report makes clear that while many more companies are disclosing climate-related information in voluntary reports - such as annual reports, sustainability reports and Carbon Disclosure Project responses - the quality of overall disclosure is still less than satisfactory.

"Assessments of corporate disclosure practices on climate change show significant improvements in recent years, particularly in voluntary disclosures," the report concludes. "However, overall disclosure continues to be highly inconsistent and often inadequate, particularly in mandatory filings, and frequently fails to meet the needs of investors."

Still, the report includes a half-dozen concrete examples of "good quality disclosure" in financial filings by companies such as Chiquita Brands International, Siemens, Rio Tinto, AES and Xcel Energy. It also lists examples of "poor" and "weak" disclosure.

Following many of the topics outlined in the SEC guidance, the report identifies five key categories of climate disclosure expected from companies, including:

* Regulatory risks and opportunities: Quality disclosure should include specific details and quantification of impacts from proposed or enacted carbon-reducing regulations on a company's direct and indirect operations, such as impacts in costs or profits from operating power plants, fossil fuel extraction or selling emission credits.

* Physical impacts: Quality disclosure should include detailed information about significant physical effects of climate change, such as increased incidence of severe weather, rising sea levels, reduced arability of farmland and reduced water availability, that may materially affect a company's operations, competitiveness and bottom-line results.

* Indirect Consequences/Business Trends: Quality disclosure should include a thoughtful and candid discussion of management's understanding of how climate change may effect its business, whether from new opportunities or risks from decreasing demand for high carbon-intensive products or rising demand for cleaner, more energy-efficient products.

* Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Quality disclosure should set forth current direct and indirect GHG emissions from their operations, methodology used to produce such data, and estimated future direct and indirect emissions from their operations, purchased electricity and product/services.

* Strategic Analysis of Climate Risks and Emissions Management: Quality disclosure should include a strategic assessment that includes a statement of the company's current position on climate change, an explanation of significant actions being taken to minimize risks and seize opportunities, and corporate governance actions relating to climate change, such as establishment of any management or board of director committees to address the topic.

The report also includes an 11-point checklist to help companies to improve the quality of their disclosure and position themselves to respond more effectively.

"This document will be an important catalyst in the major shift in attitudes towards climate change that is now taking place in the investment industry," said Kevin Parker, global head of Deutsche Asset Management. "Institutional investors everywhere are recognizing that climate change is a risk they must take full account of in their overall portfolios. As DB Climate Change Advisors demonstrated in its own recent report on this issue, Investing in Climate Change 2011, greater transparency and better information from companies is essential to enable them to assess the risk effectively. Ceres' report is critical in defining what investors need to know in setting the standard of information companies must aim at."

"This report from Ceres is an important addition in illuminating not only what to report, but insight into the quality of corporate reporting of the risks and opportunities of climate change," said Julie Gorte, senior vice president for sustainable investing at Pax World Management, a sustainable investing firm. "Five years ago, it was unusual for any company to mention climate change in a financial filing, and few provided much more than a boilerplate acknowledgment that regulation of greenhouse gas emissions might at some point have a material impact on the company. Now, with expanded investor awareness of the financial impacts of climate change, investors are looking for more, and this report gives companies critical information on what 'more' should look like."

Solar Stocks; Southern California Edison Connects 32-Acre, 5 Million Watt Solar Array to its Grid

Solar Stocks; Southern California Edison Connects 32-Acre, 5 Million Watt Solar Array to its Grid


An Edison International (NYSE:EIX) company, Southern California Edison is one of the nation’s largest electric utilities

ROSEMEAD, Calif.---- .--(www.investorideas.com renewable energy/ green newswire, a leader in cleantech investor research )--Southern California Edison (SCE) today connected the state’s largest investor-owned utility photovoltaic plant to its Central Valley power grid. The new generating station, the utility’s first ground-mount PV installation, covers 32 acres of land SCE has leased from the city of Porterville, Calif. It adds 5 million watts of peak capacity – enough power to serve 3,250 average homes – to SCE’s network of 11 solar stations.



“Our hope when we launched SCE’s Solar PV Program was that it would help California achieve its ambitious renewable energy goals, while increasing industry knowledge about solar PV efficiency and interaction with local distribution circuits”

.Construction and testing of the 29,426-panel solar array near the Porterville Municipal Airport took about six months and created 125 jobs. The new Central Valley solar station is connected directly to the utility’s neighborhood power circuits and benefits all SCE customers in the region.



“Our hope when we launched SCE’s Solar PV Program was that it would help California achieve its ambitious renewable energy goals, while increasing industry knowledge about solar PV efficiency and interaction with local distribution circuits,” said Mark Nelson, SCE’s director of Generation Planning and Strategy. “That hope has become a reality.”



In addition to building its own network of 40-50 solar stations, SCE is signing power purchase agreements with independent producers willing to construct a similar number of solar plants collectively. The combined installations are expected to create some 1,200 jobs in all.



“It is more than exciting for Porterville to take this first step with SCE. Hopefully, in years to come, a solar project like this will be commonplace,” said Mayor Ronald Irish.



About Southern California Edison



An Edison International (NYSE:EIX) company, Southern California Edison is one of the nation’s largest electric utilities, serving a population of nearly 14 million via 4.9 million customer accounts in a 50,000-square-mile service area within Central, Coastal and Southern California.
