First Solar is having a small problem getting it’s large California PV farm underway.
From the WSJ online we find:
“First Solar Inc., one of the world’s largest solar-panel manufacturers, warned Thursday that it might have to buy back the 230-megawatt plant it sold to Exelon Corp. if the Department of Energy doesn’t begin funding a loan made to finance the deal later this month.
The project has yet to receive any payments from a $646 million federal-government loan finalized in September because of an issue with a construction permit that First Solar obtained from Los Angeles County.”
Here’s a new investment we added to the portfolio. We have entered the buy date as the 3rd of Jan 2011 since that is when we started our portfolio
Ocean Power Technologies:
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. manufactures equipment that generates electricity from the motion of ocean waves. The Company’s PowerBuoy system has capacity of up to 100MW and can be used as either a primary or secondary source of electricity, and can power desalination, natural resource processing and hydrogen production plants and other facilities.
Here’s the website for Ocean Power Technologies
We’ve always felt the move away from oil and gas would be gradual as numerous solutions to the energy matrix are added. Wave power is another form of energy production.
Here’s your portfolio as of close of business on Friday February 10th, 2012
