Phoenix Solar AG to Build System for British Investor

Phoenix Solar AG, which went by the name of Phonix SonnenStrom AG until mid-June, is to build a solar electricity plant for the first time for a British investor. Consensus Business Group (CBG) – the London-based direct investor – is to buy a turnkey photovoltaic plant from Phoenix Solar with a peak power output of 3 megawatt (MW). The site chosen for the plant is Longuich near Trier in Germany. “In our view, renewable energies are an extremely high-growth market, and we have already invested more than USD 500 million in our technology programme. More funds totalling an annual USD 250 million are to follow. We are delighted that such a reputable company as Phoenix Solar AG is to partner us in the 3 MW photovoltaic project in Longuich. “We intend to realise more projects together with Phoenix Solar AG in the future as well”, commented Vincent Tchenguiz, Chairman of CBG.

If mayors from across the country have their way, every child in America will be attending a green school within a generation. In a move to better support the health and well-being of America’s students, the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM), which represents more than 1,100 mayors, unanimously supported a green schools resolution last week at its 75th annual meeting in Los Angeles. The resolution, introduced by Mayor T.M. Franklin Cownie of Des Moines and co-sponsored by 16 additional mayors, also urges Congress to provide funding of K-12 green school demonstration projects as well as support new research funding to better understand the environmental, economic and health benefits of green schools. Citing the urgent need for healthier and more productive places of learning, the mayors issued the resolution on behalf of the 55 million students and 5 million faculty and staff who spend their days in school buildings. “Studies show that children in green schools are healthier and more productive because of improved indoor air quality, lower levels of chemical emissions and a generous provision of natural day lighting,” said Mayor Cownie. “The benefit of cleaner indoor air quality – a key emphasis of green schools – have been linked […]
