Solar Power Plays Look to Grow with Clean Energy Act, Spanish Subsidies

<!--more-->

Portugal is doing its part to invest in renewable energy with the
dedication of a new 11-megawatt [MW] solar plant. The plant, which is
located in Serpa, is one of the largest solar arrays in the world and
can supply enough electricity for 8,000 households. This farm was
created by a Swiss subsidiary of SunPower Corporation (SPWR),
PowerLight Systems S.A. SPWR recently announced they would build
another solar electric power plant in Llerena, Spain. The generating
capacity of this new photovoltaic system is expected to be
approximately 4.8 megawatts [MW] of peak power.

I heard that the term "conspicuous conservation" rather than
"conspicuous consumption" is all the buzz now. It’s now real cool to be
green and even the lawmakers are getting into the act. From souped up
biodiesel cars and hybrids to smart energy buildings and companies,
getting green not only is cool, it can now save you green.
