For some reason, there hasn’t been a lot of news in the past few days…? But there’s been a bit. Here’s a quick cleantech and climate change news roundup (head on over to our homepage for more news):
Solar Power
AE-AMD Renewable Energy And Tenesol/SunPower Begin Work On Two Solar Projects In South Africa: “AE-AMD Renewable Energy, a joint venture between the Spanish AMDA energia and the South African Alt-E Technologies, and Tenesol, a SunPower company (NASDAQ: SPWR), [last week] announced two South African ground-mounted solar power projects totaling 33 megawatts (MW).

Energy Efficiency
On-Bill Repayment: A Way To Eliminate The Upfront Costs For Energy Efficiency Projects: “On-bill repayment (OBR) offers an opportunity for home and building owners to finance energy efficiency and renewable electricity generation projects through cost-saving loans from third-party investors. The loans are repaid through customer’s utility bills. The money comes from private sector lenders at no cost to ratepayers or taxpayers. OBR also allows for longer term loans with lower interest rates.”
Clean Transportation
