CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Even though the sector continues to grow at astounding rates, renewable energy still only makes up a tiny fraction of both U.S. and Worldwide energy production.  As more countries race to implement greener energy solutions, wind and solar energy projects continue to grab headlines as improved technology and falling costs lead to increase of more renewable energy plants globally.  Energy Sector Companies in focus today are: Atlantic Wind & Solar, Inc. (OTC: AWSL), Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE), Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ), Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) and General Electric Company (NYSE: GE).

Atlantic Wind & Solar, Inc.  (OTC: AWSL) is pleased to announce the receipt of a Notice To Proceed (NTP) on another utility scale solar power plant in Ontario Canada.  The NTP was received recently from the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) and marks the point at which construction can begin.  This is a major milestone in the project development as it confirms that the local grid studies have been completed and accepted and that the grid is capable of accepting this power.  This is also the point at which many projects in Ontario have failed and were abandoned despite having OPA power purchase agreements in place.  Construction has commenced on the estimated 60-day project.  The $1.2 million utility scale project is located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) of Ontario.
