  • What Clean Energy Jobs? These Clean Energy Jobs!
    What Clean Energy Jobs? These Clean Energy Jobs! A couple of months ago, Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2) noticed an outpouring of stories questioning the health and growth of the clean energy economy. This just didn’t agree with the reality we’re seeing in our daily work. All across America, we’re witnessing clean energy jobs being created almost every day—helping to rebuild our economy, address our energy problems, and improve our national security. So E2, whose 800+ members represent a broad cross-section of business leaders, including many on the front lines of clean energy, set out to document this growth with weekly newsletters that compile job announcements from news sources around the country.1 So far, we’ve published six of these newsletters, in an attempt to provide some perspective from outside the Beltway, where one solar company’s failure isn’t indicative of the downfall of an entire industry. You can find each newsletter at www.e2.org/cleanjobs. In the past six weeks, E2 has identified 118 energy-efficiency retrofits, and other announcements from announcements by more than 100 companies, the clean economy. These projects are taking place across organizations, and projects in various stages the country—in 40 states and 96 congressional districts. of development and completion. They include Based on these published reports, if all these projects from manufacturing plants, power generation projects, just the last six weeks come to fruition, 32,000 jobs could be created.2 For more information, please contact Judith Albert, Executive Director, Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2) at 212-727-4568.

  • BNEF Long Form
    THE EVOLVING LANDSCAPE FOR EPCS IN US RENEWABLES 14 OCTOBER 2014 SECTION 4. THE PLAYERS This section of the report analyzes players in EPC for solar and wind in the US. About this analysis This section is based mostly on data gathered from companies’ websites. Much of this analysis relies on linking firms to projects in our database, which contains nearly 3,000 wind and solar projects in the US at various stages of development. The information mapping projects to their EPCs is captured in our Industry Intelligence database, available to subscribers of our service. There are a number of assumptions, caveats, and methodological points that are important to note in the context of this analysis; an Appendix at the end of this report identifies these. 4.1. LEAGUE TABLES The charts below show the top EPC firms for solar and wind, ranked strictly in terms of historic activity – ie, this does not reflect any kind of qualitative assessment about firms’ competencies. • Top-ranked solar EPCs includes the three vertically-integrated giants – SunPower, First Solar, and SunEdison – and some EPC specialists, like Bechtel and Fluor, that have performed a small number of very large projects. • The league tables for wind are headlined by Mortenson, IEA, RES Americas, and Blattner (with Blattner under-represented, as explained in the Appendix).

  • Fire Fighter Safety and Emergency Response for Solar Power Systems
    Fire Fighter Safety and Emergency Response for Solar Power Systems Final Report A DHS/Assistance to Firefighter Grants (AFG) Funded Study Prepared by: Casey C. Grant, P.E. Fire Protection Research Foundation The Fire Protection Research Foundation One Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA, USA 02169-7471 Email: [email protected] http://www.nfpa.org/foundation © Copyright Fire Protection Research Foundation May 2010 Revised: October, 2013 (This page left intentionally blank) FOREWORD Today's emergency responders face unexpected challenges as new uses of alternative energy increase. These renewable power sources save on the use of conventional fuels such as petroleum and other fossil fuels, but they also introduce unfamiliar hazards that require new fire fighting strategies and procedures. Among these alternative energy uses are buildings equipped with solar power systems, which can present a variety of significant hazards should a fire occur. This study focuses on structural fire fighting in buildings and structures involving solar power systems utilizing solar panels that generate thermal and/or electrical energy, with a particular focus on solar photovoltaic panels used for electric power generation. The safety of fire fighters and other emergency first responder personnel depends on understanding and properly handling these hazards through adequate training and preparation. The goal of this project has been to assemble and widely disseminate core principle and best practice information for fire fighters, fire ground incident commanders, and other emergency first responders to assist in their decision making process at emergencies involving solar power systems on buildings. Methods used include collecting information and data from a wide range of credible sources, along with a one-day workshop of applicable subject matter experts that have provided their review and evaluation on the topic.

  • Assessment of the Risks Associated with Thin Film Solar Panel Technology
    Assessment of the Risks Associated with Thin Film Solar Panel Technology Submitted to First Solar by The Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research Virginia Tech 8 March 2019 Blacksburg, Virginia, USA VIRGINIA CENTER FOR COAL AND ENERGY RESEARCH www.energy.vt.edu The Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research (VCCER) was created by an Act of the Virginia General Assembly on March 30, 1977, as an interdisciplinary study, research, information and resource facility for the Commonwealth of Virginia. In July of that year, a directive approved by the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) Board of Visitors placed the VCCER under the University Provost because of its intercollegiate character, and because the Center's mandate encompasses the three missions of the University: instruction, research and extension. Derived from its legislative mandate and years of experience, the mission of the VCCER involves five primary functions: • Research in interdisciplinary energy and coal-related issues of interest to the Commonwealth • Coordination of coal and energy research at Virginia Tech • Dissemination of coal and energy research information and data to users in the Commonwealth • Examination of socio-economic implications related to energy and coal development and associated environmental impacts • Assistance to the Commonwealth of Virginia in implementing the Commonwealth's energy plan Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research (MC 0411) Randolph Hall, Room 133 460 Old Turner Street Virginia Tech Blacksburg, Virginia 24061 Phone: 540-231-5038 Fax: 540-231-4078 Report Authors The primary author for this report is William Reynolds, Jr., Professor, Department of Mate- rials Science and Engineering, Virginia Tech; contributing author is Michael Karmis, Stonie Barker Professor, Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering & Director, Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research (VCCER), Virginia Tech.
