Clearway Energy Group closed on $700 million in construction financing and has begun construction on two energy projects in Fresno and San Bernardino Counties, Calif.
Luna Valley is a 200 MW solar project in Fresno County. Daggett Storage is a 113.5 MW standalone BESS in San Bernardino County and is the final phase of the 482 MW Daggett Solar + 394 MW Storage complex.
“Luna Valley and Daggett 1 represent two major steps forward in California’s path to a reliable, affordable and clean electric grid,” says Brooks Friedeman, VP of Capital Markets at Clearway. “We are grateful to our financial partners, customers and local communities for their continued support for these investments.”
San Diego Gas & Electric contracted equal amounts of solar power and energy storage from each of the Luna Valley and Daggett Storage 1 projects under 15-year PPAs. Luna Valley’s remaining solar capacity is contracted under 20-year agreements with Southern California Edison and Power & Water Resources Pooling Authority.
Clearway assembled a bank consortium consisting of Nord/LB, Societe Generale, KeyBanc Capital Markets, DNB and ANZ to provide construction financing for the two projects.
Construction is being led by Blattner. Both projects are scheduled to reach commercial operations next year.

How Should the Measles/Mumps/Rubella Vaccine Be Administered? Should You Ask a High School Baseball Coach?
There are so many things going wrong in this country simultaneously that it’s hard to list them all.
Here’s something that no one could have seen coming: (see short video here) crackpot politicians giving parents insane medical advice about how to care for their children.
If I told you that our country’s parents were making decisions on vaccinating their children based on information provided by figure skaters or lawn mower salesmen, you wouldn’t believe me.
But the case is actually worse; it’s coming from the White House.

Do Americans Approve of Our Country’s Execution of Innocent People?
In this short video on the bombing of ships leaving Venezuela, President Trump asserts that drug overdoses took like lives of more than 350,000 people last year, a figure that, according to the CDC, is actually 79,383.
In any case, the video fails to mention that executing people who have not been charged with and convicted of a crime is a violation of both domestic and international law.

Why January 6th Wasn’t the End of Trump/MAGA
Keep in mind that, in 2020, more than 70 million voters cast their ballots for Trump, who, though he is a pathological liar, is 100% trusted by his supporters. When Trump said the election was rigged, the vast majority of these folks believed him. Even today, more than five years later, there are still millions of people who believe there was rampant voter fraud in the election.
Now, is storming the Capitol and beating up/killing law enforcement personnel an acceptable solution? It wouldn’t be for you or me, or most people, but imagine you’re an uneducated white-supremacist MAGA guy, and your president is telling you to do whatever’s necessary to prevent the election from being certified.
These are people who were so desperate to hang Mike Pence that the vice president had to be escorted out of the Capitol building to a secret and secure location, so he didn’t end up at the end of a rope.
When asked about this, Trump replied, “Maybe he deserved it.” To anyone trying to make sense of this, remember that you’re dealing with a deeply disturbed individual, and many millions of truly pathetic people who believe his is an honest and effective servant of the American people. In congress, we have a couple of hundred of the most terrible butt-kissers imaginable, all clamoring to curry favor with him.
