DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Solar Energy Market - Forecasts from 2021 to 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global solar energy market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.12% over the forecast period to reach a market size of US$267.747 billion in 2026 from US$68.579 billion in 2019.

The global solar energy market is growing at a significant rate in the recent years and have been expected to increase more in the upcoming years. The major driving forces for such a growth in this market are increasing concerns of the economies towards the environment sustainability and decarbonization making the power energy companies to improvise their technology towards renewable sources in an efficient way. To support this, governments are also providing the rebate policies to further promote the renewable energy market. Solar energy comes up as third renewable source of energy across the world, and one of the reliable sources from household consumption's point of view. People can have solar energy systems at their rooftops and though, the main concern for the general people to use the cost and the space of plantation of the solar energy. The COVID-19 has slowed the progress a little, but as per IEA report, the renewable energy sector is most resilient to the crisis and will continue to grow as forecasted. Despite the disruption in each sector, solar energy is expected to remain resilient in 2020. However, irrespective of the growing revenue, the cost of production for companies is also decreasing due to government policies, thus, increasing the scope of future strategic investment for the companies in the coming years.

In the upcoming years, all the countries have potential growth of the solar energy, Germany, India, and US are having the significant potential to grow. India is planning to increase the dependency of electricity more on the renewable sources to 55% by 2030 as the demand has been projected to increase by 15280 TWH by 2040 and investments will increase to US$ 500 billion by 2028 (source: IBEF). It can be noticed that there may be a growth of the PV solar plants in the coming period due to cost-competitiveness. While US has accounted for the 8300 MW installed capacity in 43 states in 2019, representing over 70% of all the commercial solar capacity installed in the US (source: SEIA)). The top companies of the US are also shifting their technology towards the solar energy, having Apple and Amazon having the highest installed capacity among them

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This is to advise you that BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (NYSE: BPT) announces that the dividend information for the First Quarter of 2021 is as follows:

 

Ex- Dividend Date:

April 15, 2021

Record Date:

April 16, 2021

Payable Date:

April 20, 2021

 

Dividend Rate:

$0.00 per Unit*

*

Actual average daily production for the quarter was 74,574 BBLS.

As provided in the Trust Agreement of the Trust, the quarterly royalty payment by BP Alaska to the Trust is the sum of the individual revenues attributed to the Trust as calculated each day during the quarter. The amount of such revenues is obtained by multiplying Royalty Production for each day in the calendar quarter by the Per Barrel Royalty for that day. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Per Barrel Royalty for any day is the WTI Price for the day less the sum of (i) Chargeable Costs multiplied by the Cost Adjustment Factor and (ii) Production Taxes. As discussed in Item 1A “RISK FACTORS”, of the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, on January 1, 2021, the “break-even” WTI price (the price at which all taxes and prescribed deductions are equal to the WTI price) for the Trust to receive a positive Per Barrel Royalty with respect to a particular day’s production was $60.72. While the average first quarter 2021 WTI price increased to $57.82 from an average of $42.66 for the fourth quarter of 2020, the daily closing WTI price ranged from approximately $48 to $66 per barrel during the quarter such that the average daily WTI price was below the “break-even” point for the quarter, resulting in a negative value for the payment calculation for the quarter. However, as provided in the Trust Agreement, the payment with respect to the Royalty Interest for any calendar quarter may not be less than zero.

Neither the Trust nor the Trustee intends, and neither assumes any obligation, to update any of the statements included in this press release. An investment in units issued by the Trust is subject to the risks described in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Trust’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and all of the Trust’s other filings with the SEC. The Trust’s annual, quarterly and other filed reports are or will be available over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

In-person, online courses and comprehensive assessments support compliance with Maritime Transportation Security Administration, International Maritime Organization, and U.S. Coast Guard requirements and directives.

GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CyberPHA--aeCyberSolutions, the Industrial Cybersecurity division of aeSolutions, announces a series of new maritime assessment services and training to help maritime facility security officers (FSOs) ensure compliance with Maritime Transportation Security Administration (MTSA), International Maritime Organization (IMO) and U.S. Coast Guard requirements and directives.


Both the IMO and MTSA Maritime Transportation Cybersecurity Assessment services provide a comprehensive third-party cybersecurity assessment of a facility's compliance including documentation ready for annexation into existing Facility Security Assessments (FSA) and Facility Security Plans (FSP). In the case of IMO, the service ensures compliance to the IMO MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3 guidance for addressing cyber risks at regulated facilities and for the MTSA the service ensures compliance to the corresponding US Coast Guard NVIC 01-20 guidance for addressing cyber risks at MTSA regulated facilities.

“While maritime facility security officers are responsible for compliance with cybersecurity regulations, many may not have the skills, resources, or bandwidth to conduct facility cybersecurity assessments and produce the required documentation,” said John Cusimano, Vice President of aeCyberSolutions.

“Cyber-attacks on maritime transportation infrastructure can have devastating consequences, both regionally and globally. Increasing threats, vulnerabilities in legacy systems, and additional exposure introduced by new technologies (i.e., digital transformation, Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, cloud-based technologies, remote operations) increases the likelihood of successful attacks.”

Both services include an on-scene survey to examine and evaluate existing facility cybersecurity measures, procedures, and operations. Additionally, aeSolutions will analyze the vulnerabilities found during the on-scene survey and provide recommendations to establish and prioritize the cybersecurity measures for inclusion in the facility security plan (FSP).

In addition to the new assessment services, aeCyberSolutions is also introducing a maritime FSO Cybersecurity Training program. Developed and instructed by experienced maritime cybersecurity experts and offered in-person or online, the training course covers cybersecurity fundamentals for maritime FSOs. Participants also will be instructed on relevant regulatory requirements, such as those established by MTSA, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

Additionally, course participants will learn cybersecurity principles and the “jargon” needed to communicate with internal and external cybersecurity consultants, making them better prepared to specify the services required to meet the intent of the regulations and standards. Likewise, participants will learn how to interpret the findings from a cybersecurity assessment and use those to develop a cybersecurity plan that can be annexed into the existing facility security plan.

Please visit aeCyberSolutions’ Maritime OT Cybersecurity webpage, https://www.aesolutions.com/maritime, for more details.

PG&E will not initiate disconnections immediately after the protections end. Since March 2020, more than 1.6 million payment plans have been created for residential and commercial customers.

“We are creating early awareness around the expiration of the protections and have tools in place to help our customers look to the future. With a goal of ensuring a smooth transition, we’ve incorporated feedback from customers, key stakeholders and community leaders in the development of our transition plan once protections end," said Marlene Santos, PG&E’s EVP of Customer Care. “Don’t wait until summer. Call us now. We’re here to help.”

The number of residential customers with past-due balances has grown almost 30% from February 2020 to February 2021.

Especially as many customers find themselves with past due amounts for the first time, PG&E will communicate early and clearly that we are here to help. Ongoing communications with customers will focus on the expiration of COVID-19 emergency customer protections, helping customers understand the status of their account, offering helpful resources and enabling customers to stay current through ongoing support and financial assistance programs.

PG&E’s proposed transition plan designed specifically to help customers manage their bills as protections are lifted was submitted to the CPUC last week for review. While awaiting official CPUC approval, PG&E will continue communicating with customers to ensure that they are aware and prepared for the anticipated expiration of the COVID-19 emergency customer protections on June 30. Proactive contact with customers during the pandemic has saved customers more than $5 million just by changing their rate plan.

Here are some actions that we plan to assist customers as the COVID-19 protections end:

  • Staggering the restart of the collections and disconnection process with a grace period after the protections end to support customers facing uncertainty.
  • A new online medical practitioner portal for the Medical Baseline program will be launched. To simplify the enrollment and recertification process, the portal will enable qualified medical practitioners to certify a customer’s eligibility for the Medical Baseline program online. The program provides customers an additional monthly allotment of energy at the lowest price on the current rate.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX), a diversified energy manufacturing and logistics company, is providing preliminary ranges for certain financial information reflecting the market and operating conditions experienced in the first quarter, including the effects of recent winter storms and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.


The severe winter storms had significant impacts on the company’s operations in the Central and Gulf Coast regions. These winter storms resulted in lower utilization of assets, as well as higher utility, maintenance and repair costs primarily in the Midstream, Chemicals and Refining segments. The higher utility costs were driven by significant increases in prices for natural gas and electricity in certain markets due to the increased demand and supply outages caused by the winter storms. These negative impacts were partially offset by the sale of electricity to help meet demand in the Texas market. The company’s Refining and Marketing and Specialties segments also continue to be impacted by lower global demand for refined petroleum products due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, the company will recognize an impairment in the first quarter reflecting Phillips 66 Partners’ decision to exit the Liberty Pipeline project.

Update to First-Quarter 2021 Outlook

The company has not completed its financial closing procedures for the first quarter of 2021, and actual results could vary from these preliminary estimates. Please see the information set forth below under “Cautionary Statement for the Purposes of the ‘Safe Harbor’ Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” for additional information about the Update to First-Quarter 2021 Outlook and Preliminary First-Quarter 2021 Financial Information.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS
OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. The update to first-quarter 2021 outlook and preliminary first-quarter 2021 financial information included in this press release are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations, estimates and beliefs as of the date of this press release, but are not guarantees of future performance or of actual first-quarter 2021 results. You should not unduly rely on the forward-looking statements as they involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual first-quarter 2021 results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include the fact that the company has not yet completed its quarterly financial statement close process. Additional developments and adjustments may arise between the date of this release and the time the financial information for the first-quarter 2021 period is finalized, which may cause the actual, final information to vary from the forecasted estimates contained in this release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information–This press release includes the term “Adjusted net loss attributable to Phillips 66,” which is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe it is useful to the external users of our financial statements, including industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We have defined this non-GAAP measure below and believe it is useful to assess our ongoing financial performance because, when reconciled to its most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, it provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as an alternative to its most comparable U.S. GAAP measure nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define it differently, which diminishes its utility.

We define “Adjusted net loss attributable to Phillips 66” as net loss attributable to Phillips 66 adjusted for the special items noted below, net of related income tax effects.

Taxable special items attributable to foreign locations likewise use a local statutory income tax rate. Nontaxable events reflect zero income tax. Special items are also adjusted for amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests.

The materials aim to address workplace safety needs to help reduce electrical injuries and fatalities.

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May is National Electrical Safety Month, and the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) is launching its annual effort to help reduce electrically-related fatalities, injuries, and property loss. This year's campaign theme is “Connected to Safety,” which aims to educate the workforce about solar panel and temporary power safety precautions, and helps businesses prepare their facilities for electric vehicle charging.



There were 166 electrical fatalities in 2019, a 3.75% increase over 2018, and the highest amount of electrical fatalities since 2011. ESFI created this year’s National Electrical Safety Month resources to address workplace safety needs to prevent these avoidable injuries and deaths. “Contact with electricity is one of the leading causes of construction workplace fatalities,” said ESFI’s President Brett Brenner. “This is why workers must receive proper training on how to work with or around electricity safely.”

Featured National Electrical Safety Month resources include Solar PV Electrical Safety, which highlights that solar photovoltaic installer jobs are expected to increase at a much higher rate than the average of all occupations. These installers must learn how to stay safe while working with or around solar panels. Temporary Power Safety details the proper safety procedures for working with or around temporary power. Temporary power is essential to construction worksites but poses a risk to workers. Following safety procedures is imperative to prevent accidents with temporary power. Installing Electrical Vehicle Chargers delivers information for businesses interested in installing electric vehicle chargers in their building. As many consumers consider or purchase electric vehicles, business owners may want to consider installing chargers in their facility as an incentive to employees while showing their corporate social responsibility.

Electrical safety awareness and education among employees and employers will prevent future workplace electrical injuries and fatalities. For ESFI’s complete collection of free-to-share National Electrical Safety Month resources to use throughout your community, visit esfi.org.

ABOUT ESFI

The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) sponsors National Electrical Safety Month each May to increase public awareness of the electrical hazards around us at home and in the workplace. ESFI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated exclusively to promoting electrical safety.
