Pennsylvania AEPS Alternative Energy Credit Program | Welcome. Welcome to the Pennsylvania Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard Program website The Pennsylvania Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard (AEPS) requires that an annually increasing percentage of electricity sold to retail customers in Pennsylvania is from alternative energy sources. The program requires that retail energy suppliers utilize Alternative Energy Credits (AECs) for demonstrating compliance with the standard.
An AEC is created each time a qualified alternative energy facility produces 1000 kWh of electricity. The AEC is then be sold or traded separately from the power. This makes it easy for individuals and businesses to finance and invest in clean, emission free solar power. This website provides a portal for the application and registration of alternative energy facilities that qualify for the AEPS program.
To be qualified as an alternative energy facility under this program, an application must be submitted. For questions about the PA AEPS Program or this web site, contact: Alternative Energy. Technip buys Scottish offshore wind subsea cable installer Subocean. By Renewable Energy Focus staff Technip says the acquisition is part of its strategy to “develop a leading position in the renewables market in the coming years, focusing on offshore wind services.” Technip launched its operating centre in Aberdeen, Scotland, as its headquarters for all European offshore wind projects in early 2010.
Subocean Group Ltd and its subsidiaries went into administration on 28 January following cash flow pressures in recent months. Around 300 of Subocean’s 380 strong workforce will be taken on by Technip. Bruce Cartwright, Head of Business Recovery Services at PwC and Joint Administrator for Subocean, says: “Subocean operate in what is still an emerging and immature market, and over recent weeks and months, the directors have worked tirelessly to find a solvent solution that would protect creditors and jobs. Unfortunately it became clear that this strategic approach was no longer feasible and as a result the directors requested the appointment of administrators.”

The cost to build a new coal-fired power plant in Cassville or Portage has soared because of higher construction prices, Alliant Energy Corp. said Friday. The 300-megawatt power plant, which would generate enough power to supply 150,000 homes, is now projected to cost $1.1 billion if it is built in southwestern Wisconsin and $1.2 billion if it is built in Portage, the utility said.
The cost of building power plants has risen in recent years as the prices of steel, concrete and other materials have escalated, Alliant Energy spokesman Rob Crain said. Earlier this year, the utility projected that the plant would cost $850 million to $950 million, but costs have continued to rise. The new figures were included in documents filed with state and federal regulators. “You’re talking about an extremely expensive plant, with fuel costs rising and capital costs rising and carbon costs rising, you’re talking about a huge increase in rates for Alliant’s ratepayers in Wisconsin,?

The grant, which will be spread over two years, will help AzCATI get established and serve as a statewide launching pad for commercial applications for algae research, which is going on at both ASU and the University of Arizona in Tucson.
ASU received $6 million in July as part of a U.S.
