Oct. 28, 2009 (Business Wire) — GWS Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: GWSC), an alternative energy company developing and marketing solar and wind-powered renewable energy products and solutions, sees substantial benefits for wind and solar energy projects in yesterday’s White House announcement that $3.4 billion will be allocated to modernize the nation’s electrical power system to more easily use renewable resources. The money will be released in the form of grants to applicants and must be matched dollar for dollar by private funding. The grants are a result of an allocation of funds to smart grid projects in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

“One of the biggest obstacles to developing more wind and solar power on a utility-size scale has been the lack of transmission lines tied to an electrical grid that’s capable of delivering clean electricity from the best solar and wind sites to the point of

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GWS Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: GWSC), an alternative energy company developing and marketing solar and wind-powered renewable energy products and solutions, today announced that it has launched an initiative to install solar energy systems in Arizona schools and other state and federal government facilities and has submitted its initial turn-key solar installation proposals. The initiative follows the Arizona Corporation Commission’s recent authorization for the Scottsdale Unified School District to enter into power-purchase agreements for solar systems on two high schools in which the school district will pay a private company for the power.

The decision is seen as allowing schools and other government facilities to benefit from incentives offered by utilities since they are not eligible for federal tax credits. Last month, the Commission approved a utility request for $143 million in extra incentives for commercial systems, including schools, bringing the total amount to roughly $220 million that

Sep. 10, 2009 (Business Wire) — GWS Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:GWSC), an alternative energy company developing and marketing solar and wind-powered renewable energy products and solutions, today commented on the September 2, 2009 ruling by the Maricopa County Superior Court affirming that the Arizona Corporation Commission has the authority to set renewable energy standards and allow utilities to collect tariffs to meet them.

The Court ruled that the Commission has the authority to set the standards as part of its ratemaking and policy authority granted by the state’s constitution. The Commission instituted the standards in 2006 requiring all utilities that it oversees to provide 15 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2025. In order to do that, many of the utilities raised funds through special tariffs associated with renewable energy.

“This ruling is widely seen as a big win for Arizona’s solar industry and will provide incentives to promote

PSEG Nuclear, a Public Service Enterprise Group (PEG) company, has appealed to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for renewing the operating licenses of its New Jersey-based Salem and Hope Creek facilities by another 20 years. The NRC is likely to take around 22-30 months to review the applications. For merchant nuclear reactors, the NRC originally issues operating licenses for 40 years under the Atomic Energy Act, which is the average period taken by electric utilities to amortize their capital spending. PSEG Nuclear’s Salem station has two units with a combined generating capacity of 2345 megawatts (MW).  The original operating licenses of Salem’s Unit 1 and 2 are valid till 2016 and 2020, respectively.  The Hope Creek facility has a single unit generating 1211 MW and its original operating license terminates in 2026. PSEG Nuclear is the second largest nuclear facility in the United States, ...
