The days are numbered for coal-fired power plants

It appears that utilities are opting to decommission their old out dated coal-fired power plants rather than retrofitting due to the cost of compliance with new and future environmental standards such as the Environmental Protection Agency’s Mercury Air Toxic Standards, and the declining cost of electricity due to cheap and plentiful natural gas.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the green energy industry to fill the need for clean generation capacity. Here is a list of scheduled coal fired power plant closings Affected by EPA Regulations.

A flywheel plant energizes Pennsylvania

Re: Energy

Now this has got to the coolest use of old fashion technology: store energy in a high speed spinning wheel and convert the kinetic energy back to useful electric power to help balance the grid during peak usage. This is exactly what is being done at the 20 Megawatt flywheel plant in Hazleton, Pa., about 25 miles south of Wilkes-Barre being built by Beacon Power LLC.  [MORE]

PA Sunshine program will shut down by end of year but money is still available NOW!

PA Sunshine program is slated to end by 12/31/2013.  The program is no longer handing out grant reservations.  They are simply approving  and issues grants after systems get installed.  One of the reasons for this is a reservation allocates money for a system and if the system never gets built it ties of money that could have been used for a customer that actually wants to put solar on their home or business.

It is my understanding that systems that get build and grant request submitted by June 1st are pretty certain to see a check from the state; but between June 1st and December 31st it’s really a matter of if funds are available.  Obviously the closer we get to December 31st the lesser the change grant funds will be available.

If you are thinking of solar from your Pennsylvania home or business NOW is the time to order your system before the PA Sunshine program ends.  Please contact Dennis Murphy at 610.358.6065 x115 or email at dennis@sunnydaypower.net to get a prompt solar quote for your home of business.
