AMP and Standard Energy to develop 300MW of solar energy

Over the next 30 years, American Municipal Power (AMP) and Standard Solar will work together for the development of 300MW of new solar energy generation. The agreement calls for AMP to offer power from Standard Energy for its 129 member utilities in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia.

“AMP is a dynamic public power leader, with a proven record in deploying new renewable generation resources in the region,” said AMP President/CEO Marc Gerken. “From undertaking the nation’s largest deployment of new run-of-the-river hydroelectric generation to building Ohio’s first and only utility-scale wind farm, we have a proven track record in renewable energy. This project offers the opportunity for further diversification of AMP members’ generation resources and advances the use of solar technology.”

Installations for solar electric facilities will be located in or near participating AMP member communities. Construction is slated to begin this year, with completion of all facilities within the next five years. The locations for installation sites and future projects will be determined at a later time.

    Photovoltaics International 16th Edition

    This sixteenth edition of Photovoltaics International marks four years of production of the quarterly journal. As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
