Some time ago, I posted "Renewable Power for Sale – But Who’s Buying?" a post in which I discussed the possibility of foreign capital entering the California renewables market. Well, later today we will hear a major announcment from a company called National Toll Roads (NTR) -- an Irish company that is investing in renewable energy companies in the US and worldwide.
Our connection to NTR will liekly be via the Sunrise Powerlink -- or at least will play a potential roll in its future success. You see, they are investing in the Stirling Solar company. This is the company that in recent months has had financial struggles -- well they now have a partner with deep pockets that may make the solar dish engine project work.
The success of the project will mean a potential 900 MWs of solar generation for the San Diego region -- assuming that the Sunrise Powerlink is built -- this because the Stirling project would connect to the Southern end of the Powerlink.
More information will be coming from the announcement that is scheduled for later today -- Balboa Park if my information is correct -- will be the site of a press conference -- at which the new partnership will be announced.
