West Valley Solar Industry Feels Growing Pains
West Valley Solar Industry Feels Growing Pains

By Lesley Wright and John Yantis The Republic | azcentral.com Tue Jan 15, 2013 - After aggressively courting solar companies and the skilled jobs they create, West Valley cities are feeling the industry’s growing pains.

They can only wait to see which companies survive and which stumble over forces shadowing the worldwide solar industry.

The subsidies utilities provide for household solar are declining, and large solar-power plants are having to compete more directly with traditional forms of electricity like natural gas and coal. Solar-panel makers face more competition from around the globe, which has pushed down the price of solar panels. Meanwhile, a tariff on Chinese-made solar parts has hurt some solar plants and boosted others.

Of the 12 metro Phoenix solar manufacturing plants that have been built since 2010, five are in the West Valley. Arizona is home to more than 265 solar companies, including 26 manufacturing plants.

The Arizona Governor’s Office of Energy Policy estimates that the 12 companies have invested $1billion in the state and created about 2,500 jobs.

West Valley leaders say they plan to continue supporting and recruiting solar businesses even as the industry goes through some transformation.

Despite the turmoil, solar jobs are growing statewide, they say.

“It’s going to have its ups and downs,” said Barry Broome, president of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. “I’m hoping the industry stabilizes. We still have a strong appetite for the solar-renewable (energy) market.”

Installation of solar panels in the U.S. continues to grow, even while global demand slumps, according to a U.S. Solar Market Insight Report compiled by GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association.

GTM Research expects to find a U.S. solar-growth rate of 70percent in 2012, compared with a 14percent rate of growth in the global solar market.

“Still, the picture is not entirely rosy for all downstream players in the U.S.,” the report concluded. “Successful installers, developers and (contractors) will be able to navigate the choppy waters of these markets, but success will require a deep understanding of near-term market dynamics and other unique requirements needed to play in each territory.”

ACC boss won't be a booster for solar
ACC Boss Won't Be a Booster for Solar

Stump says reliable service, reasonable rates to be the focus.

AZ Daily Star/January 8, 2013 -  The new chairman of the Arizona Corporation Commission signaled Monday that the days of pushing solar and renewable energy over other sources are over.

In his first speech after being chosen by his colleagues to lead the panel for the next two years, Bob Stump said while he may be a betting man, he does not do so recklessly or with other people's money.

"And that's why I refuse to bet on, or cheerlead for, any one form of technology," he said, saying he instead will "pursue a path in which adequate, reliable service is ensured and rates are just and reasonable."

Stump made no mention of the two Democrats who were defeated by voters in November, creating an all-Republican commission; or the fact that prior commissions, with Republican votes, have mandated that utilities obtain at least 15 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2025.

Proponents said the mandate ensures a diverse portfolio of energy sources for utilities as well as environmental benefits.

The mandate also permits utilities to pass on some of their higher costs to ratepayers.

But Stump, while having promised during the campaign not to repeal that mandate, also made it clear he's not going to push forward with an expansion or acceleration of that schedule. Instead, he wants to make not only clean energy a priority but also the "cheapest forms of energy available so as to ensure power that is affordable, abundant and reliable."

That includes some renewable energy, Stump said, as well as programs to get customers to use less. But it also includes "hydrocarbon-based forms of energy," including coal and natural gas.

Stump is virtually certain to have the votes he needs: While seeking re-election, he campaigned as a team with newly elected Republican commissioners Susan Bitter Smith and Bob Burns. And they issued joint campaign materials criticizing Democrats Sandra Kennedy and Paul Newman for their devotion to renewable energy, linking them to what they said were flawed national policies of President Obama.

The Great 2012 Cashout
The Great 2012 Cashout:  Dividends Offer a Lesson in Tax Rates and Investor Behaviors

Perhaps you've heard from various economic sages that tax rates don't matter either to economic growth or taxpayer behavior. Don't tell that to the companies and individuals who are busy cashing out their investments or paying dividends to get ahead of the Obama tax scythe in January.

Costco, the giant wholesale-club operator, announced Wednesday that it will pay a special dividend of $7 a share before the end of the year. That's about $3 billion the company will return to shareholders that the feds will only tax at 15% rather than the 39.6% rate scheduled to kick in when the Bush-era tax rates expire next year. For households earning more than $250,000 in 2013, you can add another 3.8 percentage points in tax thanks to the ObamaCare surcharge. Costco's shareholders approved, sending its stock up about 6%.

The Journal reports that as of Wednesday morning some 173 companies had announced special dividends, compared to only 72 in the same period a year ago. A recent Bloomberg analysis found that from September to mid-November, 59 companies on the Russell 3000 stock index had declared one-time cash payments to shareholders, four times last year's pace.

"I find no precedent like this at all going all the way back to the 1950s," Howard Silverblatt of S&P Dow Jones Indices told the Journal. Then again, there's no precedent for the Obama Presidency.

Yaquinto: A Dividend Tax Increase Would Hurt Investors, Economy
Yaquinto: A Dividend Tax Increase Would Hurt Investors, Economy

The ripple effect of what Washington, D.C., does, or does not do, about the "fiscal cliff" will have ramifications throughout state capitals, every sector of our economy, and in the pocketbooks of families and businesses across the country.

The current federal tax rates on investment income -- dividends and long-term capital gains -- are capped at 15 percent. Those rates are set to expire at midnight on Dec. 31 -- and if they do, the rates on capital gains will go as high as 23 percent and the top tax rate on dividends will rise to 43.4 percent. With uncertainties hanging overhead, investors are becoming increasingly concerned about what to do with their investments.

The most direct impact would be on the 25 million Americans who invest directly in dividend-paying stocks. Within this group, many are seniors.

The companies that pay dividends tend to be more reliable and stable. Stability and the quarterly payout make these companies especially attractive to seniors who often need help supplementing their income. This is especially true today when traditional investment vehicles are yielding little to no gains. Seniors rely on this additional income from dividends to help pay the bills -- rent, health care, food and other expenses.

Election 2012: Solar Industry Looks at Federal Elections as Providing Support
Election 2012: Solar Industry Looks at Federal Elections as Providing Support

Phoenix Business Journal - Arizona's solar industry got a mixed bag of news with this week's election, but leaders in the sector are looking at potential changes at the federal level to spur business rather than anything within the state.

Republicans Bob Stump, Bob Burns and Susan Bitter Smith are headed for the three open seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission, joining fellow Republicans Gary Pierce and Brenda Burns.

It's an election many in the industry have expressed concerns about relating to the state's renewable energy standard, which the ACC set six years ago. That standard requires utilities to get 15 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2025.

At the same time, many don't believe commissioners would touch a program as popular as solar, and with a pro-solar administration of President Barack Obama continuing, it could open up more options at the federal level for local companies.

"We believe solar will continue to be an important part of the energy mix as an economic driver for new industry in Arizona," said Chris Davey, CEO of Phoenix-based EnviroMission USA Inc., and Michelle De Blasi, an attorney for the Phoenix law office of Greenberg Traurig LLP, who together co-chair the Arizona Energy Consortium.

Arizona Corporation Commission: GOP Slate Sweeps the Race, Ousts Two Democrats
Arizona Corporation Commission: GOP Slate Sweeps the Race, Ousts Two Democrats

Arizona Daily Star Republicans swept the race for three seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission as voters jettisoned two Democratic incumbents to make the utility panel an all-GOP body for the first time since 2009.

Incumbent Republican Commissioner Bob Stump, former Senate President Bob Burns and cable-industry executive Susan Bitter-Smith won four-year terms on the five-member panel.

The newcomers and Stump will join Commission Chairman Gary Pierce and Commissioner Brenda Burns to create a commission made up of mostly conservative Republicans.

Democratic incumbents Paul Newman and Sandra Kennedy ran with political newcomer Marcia Busching on a "Solar Team" ticket, advocating an increase in the state renewable-energy mandate, citing higher standards in other states.

A similar strategy worked for the Democrats in 2008, when Newman and Kennedy became the first Democrats to be elected to the ACC in nearly a decade.

But this time, the Republicans topped the Democrats in a race in which the top three vote-getters won election.

The new commission also will be made up entirely of members from Maricopa County, as Tucson resident Newman was the only non-Maricopa commissioner.

ACC Race Could Shift Balance to Either Party
ACC Race Could Shift Balance to Either Party

Phoenix Business Journal - The race for three Arizona Corporation Commission seats could wrest control away from one party, solidify it moving forward, or simply maintain the status quo.

Much is at stake, including the ongoing implementation of the state's renewable and energy efficiency standards, as well as utility rates for electricity and water.

Three Democrats and three Republicans are squaring off in the race, along with one Libertarian and two Green candidates. Both of the Democratic commissioners (Paul Newman and Sandra Kennedy) and one of the three Republicans (Bob Stump) are up for re-election - and both parties, of course, want the majority of the five seats.

Renewable questions

One of the biggest issues - just as it was four years ago when Newman, Kennedy and Stump won their seats on the ACC - is Arizona's renewable standard and how it is being deployed.

With Arizona Public Service Co., Tucson Electric Power Co. and others on target to clear the ACC's current requirement for utilities to get 15 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2025, Democrats including ACC candidate Marcia Busching are pushing to examine the standard. Newman has gone so far as to suggest outright that the bar be raised.

"The plan passed in 2006 was talked about in 2001," said Newman. "The landscape has changed."

Republicans, including candidates Susan Bitter Smith and Bob Burns, say the standard is fine as it is.

TEP, Partners to Foster Workforce Development with Federal Grant
TEP, Partners to Foster Workforce Development with Federal Grant

TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tucson Electric Power (TEP), Pima Community College (PCC) and other partners will use a federal grant to expand energy industry job training programs in Arizona.

The United States Department of Labor awarded a $13,477,799 Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant to the Arizona Sun Corridor Get Into Energy Consortium (Consortium), an association of five community colleges in Arizona.

TAACCCT grants are intended to assist workers who have lost or may lose their jobs as a result of foreign trade by providing opportunities to obtain skills, credentials, and other resources needed to find work. TEP and other industry partners throughout Arizona contributed input and support to the grant application, which was prepared under the leadership of Dr. Clay Goodman, vice president of Occupational Education at Estrella Mountain Community College in Avondale, Ariz., and Consortium director.

teplogoPCC will receive approximately $1.9 million of the grant. Northland Pioneer College (NPC) in northeast Arizona, where TEP's Springerville Generating Station is located, will receive approximately $2 million. Grant funding, which will become available to the colleges next year, may be used to pay for instructors, facilities and delivery of curriculum that will prepare students for energy-sector jobs. The job development programs will be open to anyone, although extra effort will be made to recruit veterans and underserved populations including racial and ethnic minorities and people with disabilities.
