Mass.gov: "Stimulus-funded projects energize the solar industry"
Mass Recovery and Reinvestment Office, June 4, 2010. A little over three years ago, Nexamp, a clean energy company, had three employees and a lot of interest in making its mark on the solar industry in Massachusetts.
Today, Nexamp has 62 employees thanks in large part to a stimulus-funded contract to install 13 solar array projects across the state totaling 4.1 MegaWatts of solar installation. Link to Article
Boston Business Journal: "Efficiency draws greater interest from VCs"
Sector trumps energy generation in attracting investment dollars
Kyle Alspach, May 28, 2010. Energy service companies that promise greater efficiency through information technology are getting increased attention from venture capitalists locally and nationally, part of a shift among VCs away from clean energy generation investments.
Two VCs in the region recently made their first forays into energy, with investments in the growing “energy IT” space. The firms — CommonAngels in Lexington and Point Judith Capital in Providence — invested in Massachusetts energy services companies that tout efficiency by making information about energy use more easily accessible to clients.

Boston Globe: "Utility set to switch on largest Mass. solar facility"
Erin Ailworth, May 27, 2010. The roof of National Grid’s distribution center in Northbridge is covered with about 4,700 solar panels, making it the largest solar-generating facility in the state and the first such project to be owned by a utility.
The rooftop array — capable of producing about a megawatt of electricity, or enough to power 200 homes — was built mostly with Massachusetts technology and expertise.
