More Solar investment in TN debuts today

Gov. Phil Bredesen, ECD Commissioner Matt Kisber and officials from Confluence Solar Inc. are set today to announce formally Confluence's investment in a new facility at Clinton, Tenn. A projected 250 jobs are slated for the $400MM facility that makes products for the photovoltaic sector that is becoming an anchor of Tennessee's new economy. Our story is here. Confluence may seek TNInvestcos' investment, as part of its recently launched capital round. The investment complements the Bredesen-driven Solar Institute, new megasite developments, as well as investments announced earlier by Hemlock Semiconductor and Wacker Chemie. The KNS has a related item this morning, triggered by VNC's report.
