Innovative Energy Projects Benefit from the Farm Bill
HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / December 17, 2018 / Today we are highlighting: CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK), Ameresco, Inc. (AMRC), Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), First Solar, Inc (NASDAQ: FSLR), Renewable Energy Group, Inc (NASDAQ: REGI)
The Congress- approved federal Farm Bill l does more than set federal agricultural and food policy for five years. The Farm Bill also includes a program that helps farmers invest in solar, wind or other "green" power projects. Microgrids are included in these renewable and cleaner energy projects. A microgrid not only provides backup for the grid in case of emergencies, but can also be used to cut costs, or connect to a local resource that is too small or unreliable for traditional grid use. A microgrid allows communities to be more energy independent and, in some cases, more environmentally friendly. Farmers, cannabis growers and investors can see and predict why microgrids would play a significant and effective role in this increasingly competitive agriculture industry, especially after the effects of the Farm Bill. In addition, awaiting on the federal legalization of hemp cultivation included in the Farm Bill, many more cannabis growers are looking to microgrids to reduce costs.
A company that seems to be in the right place at the right time to capitalize on this great opportunity is CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK) (Market Cap: $92.473M Share Price: $2.53).
Cleanspark, Inc. engages in the gasifier process which converts waste into reusable, renewable energy. It offers DNA power plan, turnkey micro grid development services and Mpulse grid management products. Cleanspark develops, constructs, installs and maintains income-producing nano and microgrids. Clients can simply watch how much power is being created and what income is being generated, all from their desktop, which means requiring no new hires, no operational overhauls, therefore saving unnecessary expenses as well. By virtually eliminating the demand charges that can account for almost 50% of the utility charges for such a facility, the mPulse software reduces the monthly electricity bill of indoor- grown houses by up to 82%!
CLSK also just released an impressive letter to shareholders highlighting: an agreement for an $18.3 million 'Zero Net Energy' Microgrid with an S&P 500 Member Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), near completion on a $900,000 contract to install a 'turn-key advanced microgrid system' at the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, they have been awarded 2 patents, and they updated an acquisition that could be a huge boost to the company's year end revenues.
Cleanspark's commercial projects include DaVinci Commercial Microgrid, Cintas, Todosi, Starkey Place and Camp Pendleton FractalGrid Demonstration. The company was founded on October 15, 1987 and is headquartered in San Diego, CA.
Another company that helps organizations meet energy saving and energy management challenges with an integrated comprehensive approach to energy efficiency and renewable energy is Ameresco, Inc. (AMRC) (Market Price: $701.143M, Share Price: $15.25). Leveraging budget neutral solutions, including energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) and power purchase agreements (PPAs), they eliminate the financial barriers that traditionally hamper energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. On November 30th, the company announced that it has acquired TerraNavigator, LLC, a California-based firm that specializes in the origination and development of solar assets on environmentally-impacted sites throughout the country. With this acquisition, Ameresco will expand its pipeline of potential renewable energy projects with a focus on converting these project opportunities into operating assets that the company will own and operate.

Tesla (TSLA) (Market price: $62.804B, Share Price: $365.71)-Solar city merger is all about microgrids. The type of microgrid offered by TESLA/SolarCity is far simpler than microgrids with a multitude of generator types. TESLA will also have demand response assets in the parking lot to help balance the microgrid. It is likely they will continue SolarCity's dive deeper into the home, where they have installed smart thermostats and water heaters. In addition, Tesla batteries integrate with solar to harness the abundant power of the sun and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Homeowners, businesses and utilities use Tesla energy products to reliably increase their use of renewable energy and foster a clean energy ecosystem.
