BOSTON, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- With continued uncertainty surrounding the future of solar energy incentive subsidies, it has become increasingly clear that the levelized cost of solar electricity (LCOE) will be a critical long-term driver of solar demand and PV company profitability. As incentive policies continue to decrease, cost is going to play a critical role in how quickly solar energy becomes a viable, widely adopted source of electricity," said Michael Rogol, CEO of PHOTON Consulting. "Companies at each step of the solar supply chain need to cost benchmark their own performance and the performance of their supply chain. Ultimately, cost competitiveness will be one of the key factors to separate long-term winning companies from their peers.
WASHINGTON - More than 32 mostly coal-fired power plants in a dozen states will be forced to shut down and an additional 36 might have to close because of new federal air pollution regulations, according to an Associated Press survey. Together, those plants - some of the oldest and dirtiest in the country - produce enough electricity for more than 22 million households, the AP survey found. But their demise probably won't cause homes to go dark.

PORTLAND (AP) - Maine utility regulators said Tuesday they have withdrawn from settlement talks for a proposed electric rate plan for New England, saying they cannot accept increases that would give energy companies an unjustified windfall. With electricity supply prices at historic levels, Maine consumers cannot stand another federally imposed rate hike," said Kurt Adams, chairman of the Maine Public Utilities Commission. "At some point you have to vote with your feet, and that's what we did today.
United Illuminating Co. is taking a lot of criticism for the rate increases it has imposed. While it has to bear a fair amount of the blame for the expanding costs through an unmotivated search for lower rates from suppliers, it is not the primary culprit. Our legislature created the real mess by abandoning regulation for a "competitive" structure, leaving us to the mercy of companies not subject to any control by the state Department of Public Utility Control. It was thought multiple companies would jump at the chance to supply electricity. It was assumed this would bring lower rates through competition. The legislature proved it was unfamiliar with the history of robber-baron economics. Regulation came about in this country to control the excesses of voracious consortiums, trusts and ...
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Sporadic power failures Tuesday afternoon darkened a broad swath of downtown, an area dotted with Internet companies whose servers rely on a steady supply of electricity. About 51,000 homes and businesses lacked electricity at the height of the failure, which started at about 2 p.m., said Pacific Gas & Electric spokeswoman Darlene Chiu.
