  NTR applies for second US solar farm

  (BizWorld)
  
  Irish waste and green energy group, NTR, that its North American Solar Division, Stirling Energy Systems (SES) has filed an application to build its second large solar electricity generating system in Southern California.
  
  "This important development means that our solar business will be the first company with two large solar projects moving through the permitting process in California, to help secure a cleaner energy future," said Jim Barry, Chief Executive of NTR. "NTR believes in the long term growth potential of SES and today sees another milestone being achieved in our commitment to addressing the environmental concerns we all face."
  
  The SES Solar One project will provide electricity for up to 600,000 homes at peak times in Southern California. The project will also provide local and national economic benefits. It is expected to generate an average of 400 construction jobs, 180 permanent operations jobs, and millions of dollars in wages and taxes. It is anticipated that the application process will require approximately 12-18 months, allowing construction to proceed in 2010.
  
  The Application for Certification (AFC) submitted to the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is for an 850-megawatt (MW) solar generation facility. The SES Solar One project would be located on approximately 8,200 acres of desert land east of Barstow in the Mohave Desert.
