North Dakota Governor - Heartland Hydrogen Hub

Burgum applauds DOE selecting Heartland Hydrogen Hub formed by governors of ND, MN, MT, and WI. BISMARCK, ND (STL.News) North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum Friday applauded the U.S. Department of Energy’s announcement that it has selected the Heartland Hydrogen Hub for up to $925 million in funding to advance a regional clean energy project involving collaboration among the states of North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, and Wisconsin. Governors of the four states signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in October 2022 to develop a regional clean hydrogen hub to help meet the nation’s clean energy, transportation, and agricultural needs.  The Heartland Hydrogen Hub will produce low-carbon hydrogen, decarbonize regional supply chains, and create clean energy jobs across the states. “Clean hydrogen can play a major role in our all-of-the-above energy approach, and we’re grateful to the Department of Energy for recognizing our states’ expertise in agriculture and energy production that will make the Heartland Hydrogen Hub a world-class partnership,” Burgum said.  “North Dakota is already an energy and ag powerhouse, and we’re excited to build on our reputation as states that feed and fuel the world with environmental stewardship and a focus on innovation over-regulation to meet our nation’s evolving energy needs.” The University of North Dakota’s Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), Marathon Petroleum Corp., TC Energy, and Xcel Energy are leading the development of the Heartland Hydrogen Hub. Marathon and TC Energy are also engaged with the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation and Sumitomo Corp. of Americas to participate. Burgum signed an MOU with the president and CEO of Sumitomo Corp. during a trade and investment mission to Japan last year. With the Heartland Hydrogen Hub, a variety of projects will produce clean hydrogen for delivery to multiple markets, including industrial operations, fertilizer production, and natural gas blending for power generation and distribution, while reducing carbon emissions from multiple sectors by up to 1 million metric tons per year, according to EERC. Under the MOU signed last year, the four states agreed to develop a proposal for the Heartland Hydrogen Hub with the goal of obtaining federal funding from the Department of Energy’s $7 billion program to create regional clean hydrogen across the country. The funding was part of a larger hydrogen hub program included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law approved by Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden. In addition to Burgum, the MOU was signed by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte, and Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers.  The hub may also include facilities in South Dakota. Throughout the application process, hub partners have engaged with communities, tribes, and other stakeholders on strategies and programs that aim to benefit the entire region.

Lightsource bp lines up financing for 480 MW of solar capacity

Lightsource bp said it closed on a $533 million multi-project financing package and started construction on its 345 MW Ventress Solar project some 30 miles northwest of Baton Rouge in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. 

Lightsource bp will build, own and operate the facility and sell the energy to McDonald’s Corp. and eBay Inc. under long-term power purchase agreements.

Also included in the construction financing deal is the 135 MW Conway Solar project located near Happy, Arkansas, some 55 miles northeast of Little Rock. Lightsource bp will build, own and operate the facility and deliver energy to Conway Corp. under a long-term power purchase agreement for their customers in the City of Conway. 

Construction on the Conway plant will start in March, with full commercial operation expected in mid-2023. Gibson Technical Services, a unit of Orbital Energy Group, is the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor for the photovoltaic solar plant.

Debt for the entire portfolio was provided by a number of lead arrangers, with the balance of equity requirements invested and supported by Lightsource bp.

Participants included HSBC Bank USA; National Association; ING Capital LLC;  Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A., New York Branch;  NatWest; Societe Generale;  and Standard Chartered Bank.

Lightsource bp said that in the past two years it has raised more than $2.3 billion for projects in 10 states.

Construction at the Ventress Solar site has started, with full commercial operation expected in late 2023. LPL Solar is the EPC contractor, and Ampirical Solutions will be the EPC for the related substation and switchyard.

In late December, Lightsource bp closed on a $376 million multi-project financing package and mobilized construction on its 293 MW Sun Mountain solar project in Pueblo, Colorado, and its 173 MW Bellflower Solar project in Indiana. 

Lightsource bp will build, own and operate the Colorado solar facility and deliver the energy it generates to Xcel Energy under a long-term power purchase agreement. The solar project is Lightsource bp’s second in Pueblo, representing cumulatively almost 600 MW of solar capacity.

The Bellflower Solar project is about 40 miles east of Indianapolis in Henry and Rush Counties. A power purchase agreement with Verizon Communications Inc. was announced in early 2021.

Both solar projects are part of a portfolio financing package. The tax equity investment was secured from Bank of America, marking its fourth transaction with Lightsource bp in two years.

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump has ordered a rescue of the nation’s struggling coal and nuclear power industries, but that doesn’t mean utilities are reconsidering the shutdown of unprofitable plants.

Many power generators contacted said Trump’s June 1 announcement hasn’t altered their plans to retire old units even as the administration dangles the prospect of using emergency powers to force grid operators to buy power from struggling plants.

“I will tell you it is not a matter of if we are going to retire our coal fleet in this nation, it’s just a matter of when,” Ben Fowke, Xcel Energy Inc.’s chief executive officer, said June 6 at a utility trade group conference. The company announced later that day that it would retire two coal-fired units in Colorado and add thousands of megawatts of capacity from renewable power and natural gas.

That trend has been underway for years. Since 2010, nearly 40 percent of the capacity of the nation’s fleet of coal-fired power plants has either been shut down or designated for closure, according to the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, a trade-group that represents coal-fired utilities and mining companies such as Peabody Energy Corp., and Murray Energy Corp.

More than a quarter of U.S. nuclear power plants don’t make enough money to cover their operating costs, raising the threat of early retirements, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

But utilities are reluctant to reverse course on plans put in motion years ago or to backtrack on pledges to embrace renewable energy. Plant closures that have been worked out under consent decrees to settle environmental lawsuits or in deals with state regulators also can’t be easily reversed.

And there is doubt, too, that the administration’s use of rarely used emergency authority will withstand court challenges.“We don’t think it’s legal,” Abe Silverman, head of regulatory affairs for power producer NRG Energy Inc., said in a phone interview. The Energy Department didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Yes, Casino? I want to make some bets on $SPWR

Okay autists, listen up.

I'm making a long ass bet on Sun Power Corp, the solar energy company. Why? I'm glad you asked.

Stock is enjoying a nice dip after a sizable run up from $5 to about $55, down to about $20 and now sitting at $29.59. If you're into elliot waves, you could say it's starting its 3rd wave (a bull run). I can't be bothered writing some heccin DD with screenshots of the graph etc. so you can look at that your self.

What I can tell you from some digging, is that financially they're pretty sound. Got about $159.59M debt but that's always good for business expansion and such. Long term debt is at an ALL TIME LOW of $478.89M, current accrued expenses is $40.49M, down from $177.33M in 2016, aaaaaaand anything else you can look at financials on your own, I'm not going through the whole thing for you. Info only current as of 2020, as far as I know 2021 financials aren't available yet.

Now to business things:

CEO Tom Werner is being replaced by former Amazon executive Peter Faric, who could be a CEO that could keep a to-the-moon valuation if SPWR became a meme stock. Bec let’s be honest, Tesla was a meme stock, before there were meme stocks, that actually scaled up & kept its to-the-moon valuation.

Credit to u/Comprehensive_Bad650 for that tid-bit of info (afaik he's not in here, that was found in r/SunPower but that's not a stock specific sub so don't go flooding it, it's for users of the companies products.

Speaking of companies products?

Here are some of SunPowers bigger customers - Toyota, Walmart, FedEx, USPS, Macy's, Duke Energy, Xcel Energy, Lowe's, Johnson & Johnson and HP. Don't ask me why some energy companies use their products, IDK. But interesting. NOT ONLY DO THEY SUPPORT CORPORATE ENERGY NEEDS, BUT YOU CAN GET THEIR PRODUCTS ON YOUR HOUSE TOO! Okay you probably knew that but fuck it there you go.

And finally, the part you've all been waiting for...

It's shorted fairly moderately at the moment, Short % of float as of June 14 is 19.4%. Probably by big oil? That's funny due to the current state of the Gulf of Mexico... Oil and Gas prices will probably be going up a bit, (I'm talking barrels of oil and gas being natural gas, not petrol. Petrol too, though) with recent stimmy cheques (though nothing spectacular) may have done enough to let people install some solar panels. So, POTENTIAL squeeze, don't hold your breath. We need more info on that to say for sure.

Value play for sure though, this ones worth feeding your degenerate gambling habbits, and mine too.

Positions: I'm poor and didn't have a lot to spend. I got 10 shares at $29. LEAPS would probably be a good play as well as call options.

The ultimate owner of the wind farm will be the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. <p>The Gulf Wind facility entered into a new 20-year power purchase agreement with Austin Energy for the majority of the facility’s energy production. The remaining output will be sold at merchant power prices. <p>Over 25 years, Gulf Wind is expected to contribute approximately $90 million to the local economy through tax and landowner payments. The Gulf Wind facility sits on 9,600 acres leased from the Kenedy Memorial Foundation. All monies received by the Foundation support its charitable causes to fight poverty, boost education, and build stronger communities. <p>Gulf Wind began operation in 2009. In late August 2017, the facility withstood Hurricane Harvey, one of the strongest hurricanes to hit the area in recent history. Following the storm, when the facility was deemed undamaged and safe to resume operations, Gulf Wind returned to supplying much-needed energy to the Texas grid. <h2>9.
