AEP Energy And Doral LLC Execute Additional Solar Power Purchase Agreement In PJM

PR Newswire

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — AEP Energy, a subsidiary of American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) and one of the largest electric energy wholesale suppliers in the U.S., and Doral Renewables LLC (formerly named, Global Energy Generation LLC) (now d/b/a/ Doral LLC), a leading developer of renewable energy projects, primarily in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, announced today that they have signed an additional long-term renewable energy purchase agreement for the second phase of the Mammoth solar project in Indiana.

The 360-megawatt direct current (MWdc) Mammoth Solar II is part of the 1.65-gigawatt direct current (GWdc) Mammoth project being developed by Doral LLC in Starke and Pulaski counties in northern Indiana.  

This agreement follows the long-term renewable energy purchase agreement previously executed between the parties in April 2021 for the first phase of the Mammoth Solar project which covered 480-megawatt direct current (MWdc).

Mammoth Solar II is expected to begin construction during 2022 and reach commercial operation in 2024.

“AEP Energy is focused on delivering innovative energy solutions and continues to expand our portfolio of renewable energy resources to power possibilities for our customers. We look forward to our ongoing collaboration with Doral LLC on this project as we build a cleaner, more sustainable energy future together,” said Greg Hall, executive vice president, Energy Supply, AEP. 

“We are proud to have such strong community and government support to make this project a reality.  The economic impact through jobs, vendor contracts and taxes will work to revitalize the area.  Pulaski County is utilizing its competitive advantage of being at the intersection of two electrical grid systems and having flat farmland as far as the eye can see.  Instead of buying power from farmers in other states, Indiana and its farmers, through projects like Mammoth, have a real opportunity to be energy independent and even export power to neighboring states.  Indiana is taking the lead as a true economic powerhouse,” said Nick Cohen, President & CEO, Doral LLC. 

“Doral LLC is once again demonstrating its continued effort to become a prominent utility scale developer in the region,” said Yaki Noyman, Chief Executive Officer of Doral Renewable Energy Resources Group. “We are proud to partner again with AEP Energy and continue the development of this monumental project. We are confident that Doral LLC shall secure additional power purchase agreements in the near future to fully commercialize the entire Mammoth project.”

AEP Energy, a subsidiary of American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP), and its affiliates deliver a wide array of innovative competitive energy solutions nationwide. As a competitive retail and wholesale electricity and natural gas supplier, AEP Energy serves over 700,000 residential and business customers in 28 service territories in six states and Washington, D.C.  As one of the largest wholesale suppliers in the country, AEP Energy also specializes in offering customized wholesale power supply products based on the specific needs of our customers’ electric systems within ERCOT, MISO, PJM and SPP. AEP Energy also sells renewable energy through long-term contracts with utilities, electric cooperatives, municipalities and corporate customers. With a commitment to a clean energy future, AEP Energy and its affiliates currently own over 1,900 megawatts of wind, solar and energy storage on both a utility scale and distributed scale basis. Solving energy problems for customers, AEP Energy and its affiliates own and operate over 90 behind-the-meter projects in 26 different states and has an active development pipeline across the U.S. Based in Columbus, Ohio, Chicago, Illinois and San Diego, California, AEP Energy takes pride in making it easy for customers and partners to buy, manage and use energy. For more information, visit www.aepenergy.com.

Doral LLC was founded in 2019 as a joint venture between Doral Group and Clean Energy Generation LLC. Doral LLC currently has over 3 GWdc of projects under development and 30,000 acres of land control, mainly in Midwest and Mid-Atlantic U.S. The management team of Doral LLC includes experienced multidisciplinary individuals who worked together for many years in the renewables industry in the US.

Two Advisors with Nearly $450 Million in Assets Join Ameriprise for More Resources to Grow Their Businesses

Two Advisors with Nearly $450 Million in Assets Join Ameriprise for More Resources to Grow Their Businesses

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) recently added two advisors to its branch channel with nearly $450 million in combined client assets. Marc Gendell joined from UBS Financial Services in Atlanta as a financial advisor. Separately, Chris Thompson, CFP®, joined from Wells Fargo in Jacksonville, Florida as a financial advisor and associate branch manager. Both Gendell and Thompson said Ameriprise became the top choice for their practices after they learned more about the robust resources and flexibility the firm provides to help advisors serve clients and grow their businesses.

Social media marketing among the resources that drew UBS advisor to Ameriprise

Gendell, who grew to manage $285 million in client assets in his 23 years of experience, started evaluating options to move his practice two years ago. He explored a wide variety of firms and found Ameriprise was the best fit to help him gain efficiency and spend more time working with clients and growing his business.

Reflecting on his decision, Gendell said, “I’ve built my business through referrals, and I wanted a firm that could help me capitalize on that momentum. Ameriprise is ahead of the curve on social media marketing. I started getting new referrals almost immediately after I tapped into the firm’s social media capabilities.”

Additionally, Gendell commented, “It’s remarkable to be at a branch with access to all the resources here, and at the same time know I have the flexibility to eventually go independent within the same firm if I choose to do so.”

Gendell is supported by Ameriprise complex director Brian Connerat.

Wells Fargo advisor joins Ameriprise for integrated financial planning technology

Thompson, who has 28 years of experience and manages $157 million in client assets, had time to explore other firms amid the pandemic. Through his research, he realized he could offer his clients a better experience at another firm. Thompson found that Ameriprise delivered on what he wanted: a firm not owned by a bank, strong financial planning focus, flexibility to do business the way he wants to, and the opportunity to lead other advisors.

“Ameriprise has the best financial planning and technology in the market. Here I can offer a more robust financial planning experience to my clients with less prep time behind the scenes because of all the technology integration. It’s humbling to make a lasting impact on people’s lives through sound advice, and I wanted a firm that shares my values of putting clients first,” said Thompson.

He is supported by Ameriprise branch manager Chip Cerovac. “Both Chris and I are former Navy Officers. You know what you’re getting with a Navy Officer in terms of their integrity, ability to lead, and commitment to serving others. I’m excited to support Chris and see how he inspires other advisors in our branch to embrace the breadth of resources we have at Ameriprise,” said Cerovac.

Ameriprise has continued to attract experienced, productive advisors, with approximately 1,700 joining the firm in the last 5 years.1 To find out why experienced financial advisors are joining Ameriprise, visit ameriprise.com/why.

JetBlue’s Soar with Reading Free Book Vending Machine Initiative Goes Virtual to Get Books into the Hands of Kids Who Need Them Most

JetBlue’s Soar with Reading Free Book Vending Machine Initiative Goes Virtual to Get Books into the Hands of Kids Who Need Them Most

— JetBlue Invites Customers, Crewmembers and the Community to Nominate Their Favorite Youth-Focused Nonprofit for a Chance to Receive a Free Book Donation —

— Kids Can Select up to Six Brand New Books Free of Charge with #BookDrop Events Taking Place in August and September —

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) today announced its eleventh annual Soar with Reading initiative, which tackles the issue of literacy in areas known as book deserts, where access to age-appropriate books for children is often very limited. This summer, JetBlue is taking its free book vending machine initiative online due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. However, this will not stop the airline from continuing its work to help get books into the hands of kids who need them most. Throughout August, children in select locations and youth programs will be able to access JetBlue’s virtual vending machine online and pick up to six books. JetBlue will drop off these free books with the respective organizations throughout August and September to distribute to the kids.

Books open children’s imaginations and empower them to envision new places. Soar with Reading provides children the opportunity to start to build their home libraries and encourages a life-long love of reading. Customers, crewmembers and local communities are encouraged to nominate their favorite youth-focused nonprofit for a chance to receive access to JetBlue’s digital book vending machine. For more information or to nominate an organization, visit soarwithreading.com (a.).

JetBlue is collaborating with several of its longstanding youth-focused non-profit partners in Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles and New York City. Local partners include Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward County, Boys & Girls Club of Broward County, Boston Centers for Youth & Families, City of New York Parks & Recreation and the Westchester Family YMCA in Los Angeles through a partnership with Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA). Additionally, JetBlue will provide new books directly to local organizations in Orlando, Salt Lake City and San Juan. The available books feature diverse characters and themes, with options in both English and Spanish.

“It’s important for us to continue to find ways to give back and support the communities that support us,” said Icema Gibbs, vice president corporate social responsibility and diversity, equity and inclusion, JetBlue. “Soar with Reading was originally developed to help defeat the loss of knowledge that students experience over the summer months, known as the ‘summer slide.’ It’s more relevant now than ever. Many children have attended school virtually for more than a year. This means countless students haven’t had a chance to experience books during this time, nor have they traveled to the places that imaginations soar to through reading.

Recent report show that, students’ reading scores are behind where they would be after a normal year, with the most vulnerable students showing the steepest drops. JetBlue is continuing to work with childhood literacy expert Dr. Susan Neuman, professor and chair of the Department of Teaching and Learning at New York University (NYU), to measure the program’s impact. Dr. Neuman’s research shows that owning 25 physical books or more has a sizable effect on achievement, with each additional increment of books improving literacy rates. Based on Dr. Neuman’s research, through Soar with Reading, JetBlue is also encouraging a cross-generational love of reading as it’s been proven that children are more interested in reading when they see their parents also engaging with books.

Soar with Reading previously visited Detroit; San Francisco; Washington, DC; Fort Lauderdale; and New York City where JetBlue distributed 40,000 books in its own backyard of Queens. In 2020, as JetBlue worked to meet immediate pandemic needs, the airline distributed 15,000 books in Boston directly to families through food distribution programs. To date, JetBlue has donated more than $3.7 million worth of books to kids in need.

JetBlue For Good – Soar with Reading is a signature program of JetBlue For Good®, the airline’s platform for social impact and corporate responsibility. As the program continues to grow, JetBlue is working to ensure that the books provided represent the diverse perspectives of the various communities that JetBlue serves.

Giving back is part of JetBlue’s DNA and is core to its mission of inspiring humanity. Centered on volunteerism and service, JetBlue For Good focuses on the areas that are most important to the airline’s customers and crewmembers – community, youth/education and the environment. Combining JetBlue’s corporate efforts with its customers’ and crewmembers’ passions, the common theme is Good – JetBlue For Good. Join the #JetBlueForGood conversation on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and check for regular updates to get involved.
