The unit will be tested as a pre-commercial system for the European market and is expected to be in operation by October 2003 at an Energie Baden-Wurttenberg AG (EnBW) facility in Marbach, Germany. * Two European utilities have awarded Siemens Westinghouse contracts for their tubular solid oxide fuel cell system. The two pre-commercial units, one of which will be delivered to RWE Power AG in Essen (February 2002) and the other to Edison Spa in Milan (September 2002), will be 300kW hybrid systems incorporating a microturbine and operating on natural gas. * Real estate companies Arden Realty, CALPERS and RREEF dedicated two large commercial solar power systems yesterday in Los Angeles. The first installation features nearly an acre of photovoltaic panels located on the roof of a three-story office building owned by Arden Realty while the second is located on an industrial building in Carlsbad, CA that is jointly owned by CALPERS and RREEF (joint venture company is named CalWest Industrial Properties). Real Energy Corporation will sell the power generated by these systems to the respective building owners. Edison Development Corp., a subsidiary of DTE Energy, supplied the solar panels that were built and installed by PowerLight Corporation.
