L. & Pol'y Rev. 425 (2013), http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmelpr/vol37/iss2/4 Copyright c 2013 by the authors. This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmelpr BEYOND SOLYNDRA: EXAMINING THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY’S LOAN GUARANTEE PROGRAM HILARY KAO* ABSTRACT In the year following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in March 2011, the renewable and clean energy industries faced significant turmoil— from natural disasters, to political maelstroms, from the Great Recession, to U.S. debt ceiling debates. The Department of Energy’s Loan Guarantee Program (“DOE LGP”), often a target since before it ever received a dollar of appropriations, has been both blamed and defended in the wake of the bankruptcy filing of Solyndra, a California-based solar panel manufac- turer, in September 2011, because of the $535 million loan guarantee made to it by the Department of Energy (“DOE”) in 2009.1 Critics have suggested political favoritism in loan guarantee awards and have questioned the government’s proper role in supporting renewable energy companies and the renewable energy industry generally.2 This Article looks beyond the Solyndra controversy to examine the origin, structure and purpose of the DOE LGP. It asserts that loan guaran- tees can serve as viable policy tools, but require careful crafting to have the potential to be effective programs.

  • Current Loan Guarantee Commitments
    Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program: Current Loan Guarantee Commitments Passed as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Title XVII Loan Guarantee Program has $34 billion in authority to give loan guarantees to innovative technologies. 1 The 1705 program also had about $2.4 billion in Recovery Act funds to pay for the credit subsidy cost for renewable and energy efficiency projects, but those funds expired on September 30, 2011. So far, the DOE has finalized $16.13 billion worth of loans and committed $10.65 billion. Below is a list of applicants that have a committed or finalized loan; there are other companies that are in the process of applying for a loan and at least one company that has rejected the loan terms offered by the DOE. Nuclear Power Facilities Current DOE loan guarantee authority for the financing of nuclear projects is set at $18.5 billion with an additional $4 billion now identified for uranium enrichment (see see front-end nuclear cycle below).1 President Obama is requesting more. In both his FY2011 and FY2012 budgets, he included an additional $36 billion in loan guarantee authority for nuclear reactors. If his FY2012 budget is approved, loan guarantee authority for nuclear reactors would total roughly $50 billion. This authority is under the 1703 program. So far, only one nuclear company, Southern Company, has been offered a conditional commitment. Constellation Energy was in extensive negotiations with the DOE over a loan guarantee but backed out after citing the “unreasonably burdensome” cost associated with the loan guarantee the DOE offered and claimed that it would “create unacceptable risks and costs for our company.”2 Other nuclear companies are currently under review for a loan guarantee and rely on reactor designs that are currently in use in Japan.

  • Residential Solar Financing
    RESIDENTIAL solar Financing Strategic and legal support in the residential solar space The solar energy MARKET is rapidly expanding. Having the right counsel can be a competitive advantage. The new wave of solar power is on the residential rooftop, using the third-party solar lease or power purchase agreement model, shifting high upfront capital costs from homeowners to third-party investors. New renewable energy equity funds are being created to support the purchase and installation of millions of dollars in residential solar systems across the United States, which, if properly structured, benefit from federal, state, and local tax benefits, as well as other incentives. With large institutions viewing this as a smart, profitable and practical investment, we expect to see a uptick in the pace and number of increasingly, larger-scale residential solar- lease transactions. Nixon Peabody has been an integral part of this burgeoning industry and has led the way in developing key documentation and tax analysis. We regularly appear at industry conferences addressing these structures and we have been pioneers in combining multiple sources of capital in single transactions. Our depth of experience allows us to expeditiously handle residential solar funding projects requiring fast turnaround and to provide outstanding client service. We are one of the nation’s preemi- nent law firms in structuring and closing investments in tax credit and energy transactions, and we understand the complexities of the Energy Investment Tax Credit, cash payment in lieu of energy tax credits, New Market Tax Credits and partnership tax law. We are a leader in helping developers, owners, lenders, and investors leverage available resources to structure these powerful renewable energy tax credits and related tools in creative project financing structures.

  • Espagne : Information Et Énergie : Les Deux Moteurs De La Ville Durable
    Espagne : Information et énergie : les deux moteurs de la ville durable L'information : un moyen et non une fin Dans l'imaginaire collectif, le concept de ville intelligente renvoie l'image d'une ville bourrée de capteurs et de dispositifs d'information. La présence de toutes ces nouvelles technologies d'information semble ainsi être l'essence même de ce qui va caractériser la ville de demain. Hors rien n'est plus réducteur que cette vision. Les dispositifs d'information sont au coeur de la ville intelligente mais leur présence ne transforme pas la ville perse. Les capteurs et dispositifs d'information ont pour but de rassembler un certain nombre de données afin de rendre la prise de décision plus efficace. Mais pour cela, encore faut-il mesurer les bons paramètres. Les nouvelles technologies doivent être ainsi bien pensées et utilisées afin de poser les bases de la ville intelligente. La technologie est juste une aide pour assurer une bonne gouvernance. Et, à ce titre, certaines questions se posent. Jusqu'à quel niveau d'information aller ? A quel coût ? Qui va être en charge de la collecte et de l'analyse de toutes ces informations ? La démocratisation de l'information et de son échange qui font qu'aujourd'hui plus de 9 milliards d'appareils sont reliés à internet permet d'imaginer la ville de demain comme un ordinateur ouvert. Il reste à créer pour relier les composants de cet ordinateur un système d'exploitation urbain qui permettrait d'assurer une bonne organisation de ces systèmes d'information et de tirer parti au mieux des données récoltées.

For the 460 applications to the Loan for innovative energy projects. Guarantee Program (LGP), DOE has made loan guarantees for 7 percent and Currently, DOE is authorized to make committed to an additional 2 percent. The time the LGP took to review loan up to $34 billion in section 1703 loan applications decreased over the course of the program, according to GAO’s guarantees. In February 2009, the analysis of LGP data. However, when GAO requested data from the LGP on the American Recovery and Reinvestment status of these applications, the LGP did not have consolidated data readily Act added section 1705, making available and had to assemble these data over several months from various certain commercial technologies that could start construction by September sources. Without consolidated data on applicants, LGP managers do not have 30, 2011, eligible for loan guarantees.

  • Army and Renewable Energy
    ON POINT FOR THE NATION: ARMY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY Jeremy S. Scholtes* “It’s operationally necessary, it’s fiscally prudent, and it’s mission essential for us to make sure that we have energy security and can perform our primary mission for the United States.”1 Synopsis: This article explores the U.S. Army’s efforts to incorporate renewable energy into its mission at home and abroad. It explains to the reader why the Army needs and wants renewable energy as part of its overall strategy to strengthen national security and improve its operational capabilities. The article then introduces the reader to the strategic framework which set the Army’s overall goals and shaped the landscape for development and implementation of a number of wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass projects. After an evaluation of many of the projects implemented on Army installations and in the deployed and operational setting, the author identifies some remaining challenges and offers several recommendations for enhancing the Army’s capacity to further develop, implement, and expand renewable energy projects.

Résumé : L’attractivité de l’énergie photovoltaïque, notamment par rapport aux énergies fossiles, tient au fait qu’elle n’émet pas de CO2 à l’utilisation et fonctionne à l’aide d’une ressource inépuisable, gratuite et disponible sur l’ensemble de la planète. Elle représente cependant encore nettement moins de 1% de l’électricité produite mondialement car le prix des modules photovoltaïques était jusqu’ici prohibitif pour une commercialisation de grande envergure. Des progrès techniques continus, rapides et structurels, combinés à une large surcapacité mondiale de production conjoncturelle changent aujourd’hui la donne. Fin 2011, grâce à une réduction de prix spectaculaire en partie portée par la forte production asiatique, les modules photovoltaïques se vendent au-dessous du prix mythique d’un dollar par watt-crête (Wc). Le coût d’investissement global des centrales (CAPEX) était estimé en 2011 entre 3,8 $/Wc et 4,4 $/Wc. Aux États-Unis comme ailleurs, le rythme de développement des projets photovoltaïques est en forte augmentation mais les temps sont durs pour les producteurs de modules.
