WAG, this post is from datamonitor regarding Guams solar power plant project. One point - I find it odd that Boeing corp. is a partner with NRG because Boeing does a lot of civil aviation, military and commercial satellite work, etc. Strange that they are in a JV for a solar power project. Take a read: NRG Energy, Inc., a power generation and retail electricity company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary NRG Solar LLC, and the Boeing Company have started the construction on Dandan, the first solar power plant in Guam . NRG will bring its experience and ingenuity as a solar innovator to this project, proven by the companys successful development of solutions ranging from the worlds largest solar thermal and photovoltaic facilities to professional sports stadium rooftops to customizable solar canopies. Boeing will provide its engineering, procurement and construction expertise to the project. Dandan will generate 25 megawatts (AC), enough clean energy to power 10,000 homes and offset consumption of almost 2 million barrels of fuel oil and diesel. Energy generated will be sold to the Guam Power Authority, the islands sole electric utility, under two 25-year power purchase agreements that will help Guam achieve its renewable energy goals by 2015. Guam is taking a strong step forward in realizing its sustainability goals, both from an environmental and economic point of view, said Joaquin C. Flores, general manager, Guam Power Authority. We look forward to seeing the facility completed and observing how it will serve as a catalyst for more interest in renewable energy on the island. NRG Solars objective is to be at the forefront of the clean tech industry to provide affordable and reliable energy options by spearheading innovative financing and procurement strategies that drive down the balance of system costs, said Tom Doyle, President and CEO of NRG Solar. Dandan paves the way for other renewable energy possibilities in the region. We are proud to own this project and look forward to being a part of the positive lasting impact it will make on Guam . Clean, affordable, and secure power is a big need for Guam and throughout the world, said Tim Noonan, vice president of Ventures, part of Boeings Defense, Space and Security division. Our engineering, procurement and program management expertise coupled with NRGs approach to providing leading edge energy solutions creates a powerful and capable team. Its a great global market for Boeing outside of our core business.
