EnviroMission (USA), Inc. will provide the day-to-day operations to support EnviroMission's overarching, executive developer interests, under the management of EnviroMission's Chief Executive, Mr. Roger Davey.
US incorporation will entitle EnviroMission (USA), Inc. to incentives available exclusively to US corporations; the establishment of a US headquarters in Phoenix will also provide financial and resource efficiencies from localized business operations.
EnviroMission (USA), Inc. will lead briefings and interactions with power authorities and councils in the southwest, as well as analysts and the finance sector within the US to provide real time business advantage for development success in the region.
The southwest region of the US, specifically Arizona, has been identified as an ideal Solar Tower development destination based on meteorological data and regional market conditions that include strong mandates and incentives for renewable energy generation.
Expenditure associated with the establishment and operation of an office in Phoenix is viewed as an investment in doing business in the US and a necessary investment to support EnviroMission's shift to executive global developer following the assignment of the global (except China) development rights from SolarMission Technologies, Inc. (SMT) on 31 July, 2008.
On June 26th EnviroMission announced it had filed two land applications In the US for two prospective Solar Tower power station developments.
The sites, now formally earmarked in Arizona, each total 5,500 acres (2225.85 hectares) suitable in size for development of a 200Mw Solar Tower power station respectively.
Each application, to the Arizona State Land Department, is for marginal land that had been identified as ideal for Solar Tower development within due diligence studies that showed all critical development criteria, including meteorological and solar insulation parameters would be met and exceeded at the sites.
Ownership surveys, completed in May 2009, informed both applications and identification of the sites will remain confidential until the applications process requires further disclosure in order to avoid any prejudice to EnviroMissions application.
Cultural, archeological, and environmental surveys are expected to be completed in July 2009.
