The US Equipment Leasing and Finance Association reports that Wells Fargo & Company is to provide the finance for a 53.5 megawatt (MW) multi-site solar project for SunEdison LLC, a subsidiary of MEMC Electronic Materials.

At a site ceremony held last week in Carlsbad, New Mexico, the city's mayor and officials from SunEdison, Xcel Energy, and Wells Fargo announced the activation of the first three of five solar power plants that make up the 53.5 MW project.

In the UK there is ample and growing evidence that the “green” message is getting through to businesses running fleets of company cars. Now comes news that the CO2 levels of new vehicles  currently being added to the managed fleet at contract hire and fleet management specialist, Fleet Alliance, have fallen to an all-time low as corporate customers continue to heed the company’s advice and choose the greenest, most tax efficient vehicles available. 

Martin Brown, managing director of Fleet Alliance confirmed that almost two thirds of all vehicles added to the company’s managed fleet of 9,500 vehicles in August were below the 140g/km emission level, with a third of them below 120g/km and 3%  greener still with emissions below the 100g/km mark.
