J-POWER USA Development Co., Ltd., Solar Plus Development, Inc., a subsidiary of Plus Renewable Technologies Limited, Avondale Solar, LLC and AP Solar Holdings, LLC, a joint venture company between Plus and Avondale, have agreed to jointly develop Red Tailed Hawk Solar, a 350 MWac solar project located in Wharton County, TX.

This will be J-POWER USA's first renewable project in the U.S. The demand for solar power has increased in recent years with Texas having some of the best solar resources in the country in addition to its rapidly growing economy. This project is strategically located close to the load center of Houston, a high-power demand area.

J-POWER USA and its affiliate companies now have interests in 12 U.S. power generating facilities, totaling approximately 6,500 MW. "We are excited to expand our development capabilities into the renewable energy field," stated Mark Condon, President and CEO of J-POWER USA.

"J-POWER USA's participation in this project will assist in providing energy to the marketplace in order to meet consumer demand for clean, affordable and reliable power," Condon continued.

Trevor Nash, CEO of AP Solar, said "We are very pleased to be working with J-POWER USA on the development of the Red-Tailed Hawk Solar project which will be well positioned to provide low cost renewable power to the Houston Zone."

Engineers make a promising material stable enough for use in solar cells
West Lafayette IN (SPX) Apr 30, 2020
Soft and flexible materials called halide perovskites could make solar cells more efficient at significantly less cost, but they're too unstable to use. A Purdue University-led research team has found a way to make halide perovskites stable enough by inhibiting the ion movement that makes them rapidly degrade, unlocking their use for solar panels as well as electronic devices. The discovery also means that halide perovskites can stack together to form heterostructures that would allow a devi ... read more
