The Boston Globe: "$68m in solar rebates goes fast"
The Boston Globe: "$68m in solar rebates goes fast" December 1, 2009. North Andover installer Nexamp received roughly a $250,000 rebate to install 550 solar panels on the roof of NewStream LLC's industrial recycling building in Attleboro several weeks ago. Nexamp owns the panels and is selling NewStream the power they will generate. The 110-kilowatt system is expected to provide the recycling company with a third of the power for its wastewater cleansing process.
Nexamp vice president, Jon Abe, said he expects to recoup the project costs in five or six years. The estimates on payback periods vary, from a handful of years to more than a decade. Massachusetts has high electric rates, which helps accelerate the payback time for an alternative source of power. Link to Article
The Cape Ann Beacon: "EBSCO provides a blueprint for going green"
The Cape Ann Beacon: "EBSCO provides a blueprint for going green" November 11, 2009. IPSWICH - Doing the right thing for the right reasons can bring many benefits to the workplace, to the employees and to a company's bottom line.
Just ask the Ipswich-based international Web publishing and data base company, EBSCO, which has saved an estimated $80,000 annually on its utility bills alone through a fledgling environmental program led by employee volunteers dubbed the "green team".
From the solar-heated water employees use to the sneakers on employees' feet, which the company collects and turns in for recycling when they're worn out, EBSCO rarely misses an opportunity to turn off a computer, turn down the heat, convert to more efficient lighting or reduce its paper use - even if some of the return on investment, like solar panels, reaches out 15 years, based on current energy prices.

The Boston Globe: "Expansion of green jobs unhindered by slump"
The Boston Globe: "Expansion of green jobs unhindered by slump" October 11, 2009. Palmer Moore had been working for a high-end yacht builder until early this year, when he joined Nexamp, and energy management firm based in North Andover that specializes in solar installations. While trained as a marine engineer, Moore now wears many hats. "In this sector, you have to come into it with energy and passion, and a willingness to learn quickly and resolve whatever you need to resolve. The nice thing is it's not limited to one demographic or one select group of clientele. Everyone has to pay their utility bills." Link to Article
