Despite a plethora of DOE grants and loans and a slightly more buoyant bond market, energy bankers say wind and solar developers are suffering from the effects of low electricity prices caused by the economic recession. If the developers can't get long-term sales contracts for the power they produce, they're not likely to get a thumbs up from the bank. |
