No One Bids To Build Solar Plants On Colorado Public Lands
Well, this is awkward. An auction in Colorado for the right to build solar energy plants produced no bids, according to the Denver Post.
"We are going to have to regroup and figure out what didn't work," Maryanne Kurtinaitis, renewable energy program manager for the federal Bureau of Land Management’s Colorado office told the Post.
But Ken Borngrebe, environmental permitting manager for First Solar, said the problem likely had to do with market uncertainties surrounding solar projects. More
Why would you even consider building anything on public lands. You would have no control of the performance of the equipment, so the Democrats will tell you it's not working right and you will never get paid.
For the past few months I have witnessed many municipal and government projects not being bid. For example, in Wicomico - the Chiller maintenance at the Civic Center wasn't bid, and there are many more where private entities are not being bid.
An insurance executive informed me a few weeks ago that private contractors are now charging to even go out and look at the job. Some of the adjusters are now allowing $250 for private contractors just to visit the site. The insurers claim that many contractors simply cannot invest in providing free services anymore. I can see their point.
In Denver - this is exactly what happened - as the developer would have to expend thousands just to bid on the project with no assurance that the investment in time would be repaid.
If you want a bid call OC Mayor Rick, he will jump at the chance to own a solar farm. No price is too, and no terms are necessary, its an all cash deal!

ReplyDeleteHere's one place the gov't should jump into better marketing and incentives.
It couldn't be because solar is not a profitable venture, could it?
