REA Group up on solar energy farm approval

Shares of Renewable Energy Asia Group (REA Group) (REAG.SI) rose as much as 4.8% on Tuesday after it said it had received approval to build a 10 megawatt (MW) solar energy farm from Inner Mongolia authorities.

At 11:38 a.m., REA Group shares were up 2.4% at $0.215 on a volume of 560,000 shares. 


REA Group will invest around 190 million yuan ($36.8 million) in the solar energy farm. In addition, the firm will develop a 250 MW wind farm and a 25 MW bio-fuel plant in the Green Energy Park in Zhenglanqi, Inner Mongolia. 

"The Chinese government is supportive of the renewable energy industry in terms of subsidizing and making sure that their pricing is favourable," said Ng Kian Teck, an investment analyst at SIAS Research. 

"But the bulk of the solar energy farm will be outsourced to a specialized party as REA Group is predominantly in the wind energy segment," he added. 

China is planning to pump in some 5 trillion yuan between 2011 and 2020 to promote the development of its renewable energy industries, REA Group said in a statement.

Presidential approval

Bit of a bunfight getting in to the Paris Show this morning. President Sarkozy was paying a visit and I counted at least a dozen police vans stuffed full of ‘Les flics’ on the way in and all heavily armed.

I didn’t see the great man personally but I’m told he arrived with an enormous entourage, which swelled exponentially as a vast media scrum followed him around.

And being French of course, le President resolutely stuck to a Gallic agenda - bystanders told me he visited Peugeot, Citroen and Renault – but whether neighbouring Ford was paid a visit remains a mystery.

The Show opens its many doors to the public in the morning for a fortnight – they’re expecting more than a million visitors, petrolheads and enthusiasts – as well as tomorrow’s consumers – to pour in.

I wasn’t here two years ago but people assure me the mood is much improved from those gloomy days – although there’s a long way to go.

As I write this on the oasis-like calm of the Saab stand – all icebergs and cool Scandi imagery – I can hear the Chevvy stand opposite belting out AC\DC and Bruce Springsteen. Horses for courses.
