Benjamin Moore and Constellation Energy are on the verge of completing a new solar power system that is expected to generate 68% of the electricity required to power Benjamin Moore's 80,000 square foot research and development facility in Flanders, New Jersey. The 1.7MW plant, which comprises of 8,600 crystalline PV solar panels and can generate 2,230,000kW hours of electricity per annum, is expected to be operational by the end of the year and will reduce the company's greenhouse gas emissions by 1,600 metric tonnes.

Foster Wheeler will design and supply equipment for the planned 100MW Shams-1 solar power plant at Madinat Zayed, United Arab Emirates. The plant, located just outside Abu Dhabi, will receive the equipment in the third quarter of 2011.

Neo Solar Power has signed a poly silicon supply contract with Hankook Silicon, which will provide them with 11,600 tonnes of poly silicon between 2011 and 2017. The agreement not only provides Neo Solar Power with a stable long-term poly silicon supply but also reinforces the strategic alliance between the two companies.
