Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) December 06, 2013
DuPont today hosted a celebration of the startup of a 548 kilowatt, five-acre solar installation on a former Superfund landfill site in Newport, Del. The solar installation, located at 205 South James Street, Newport, Del., will produce enough electricity to power 60 homes in the Newport community. It will generate about 729,000 kilowatt hours of power per year.
After successfully completing remediation at the Newport site, and with the support of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Delaware Division of Natural Resources & Environmental Control (DNREC), DuPont collaborated with Tangent Energy Solutions to put the property into productive use generating solar electricity. The solar project, developed by Tangent and owned by Greenwood Energy, a subsidiary of Libra Group, will provide a viable renewable energy option for the Newport community. The solar panels were supplied by DuPont Apollo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DuPont.
The celebration event included a program that was conducted at the nearby DuPont Photovoltaics Applications Lab in Wilmington, Del. The Honorable Jack Markell, governor State of Delaware, headlined a group of speakers who provided comments during the program. Other speakers included: Shawn Garvin, regional administrator EPA Mid-Atlantic Region 3; and Linda Fisher, vice president DuPont Safety, Health & Environment & Chief Sustainability Officer.
The DuPont Solar Power Project complements Delawares commitment toward using clean, renewable energy sources, Markell said. Generating solar energy benefits the residents of Newport, and positively impacts our state – increasing our competitiveness, reducing air pollution, improving public health and creating jobs.
Under the RE-Powering America Initiative, EPA encourages renewable energy development on current and formerly contaminated land when it is aligned with the communitys vision for the site, Garvin said. When we work together to turn an environmental problem into an opportunity, we create the best of what is possible here solar energy will serve the families of Newport and inspire others to re-power America with alternative energy solutions.
Were very excited about this project because it is the first time weve utilized solar on a former landfill. The project will reduce DuPonts greenhouse gas emissions by 350 tons a year and reuse a portion of a federal Superfund site that had been considered to be unusable land, said Fisher. This is a great example of what were trying to do at DuPont around the world: working collaboratively to help meet the growing demand for energy with renewable fuels.
Other guests who participated in the program included Collin OMara, secretary Delaware Division of Natural Resources & Environmental Control; Rep. Debra Heffernan, Rep. John Kowalko Jr., Michael Spencer, mayor Town of Newport, and various leaders with the DuPont Corporate Remediation Group, DuPont Facilities Services & Real Estate and DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions Business.
This represents the eleventh solar installation on DuPont land to date, and the fourth in Delaware. Two additional installations are expected to be completed by year-end, bringing the total energy output to 4,800,000 kilowatt hours per year enough to power 400 U.S. households. In addition to its DuPont Apollo subsidiary, which specializes in silicon-based thin film solar technologies, DuPont is the largest supplier of specialty materials to the solar industry. Over half the worlds 400 million solar panels have DuPont materials in them.
DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.

Personal training marketing coach, Bedros Keuilian, began his career as a personal trainer in a “big box” gym making $ 12 an hour. When he grew tired of someone else making money from his hard work, he started his own personal training business. Soon a new problem arose for Keuilian; getting new clients to fill his schedule. In fact, he did not have enough clients to support himself.
Every personal training marketing method I tried failed. And that was one of the most frustrating things of all. Plus, it cost me a lot of wasted money (which I didnt have much of in the first place), comments Keuilian. To make ends meet, I took on another job as a bouncer at a night club. It sucked because I hated bouncing and the whole night club scene.
He explains, In 2001, through some dumb luck and desperation I stumbled upon a referral generation tactics that got me nine new clients within six days. And the best part is it was really easy selling these nine clients on my biggest programs because they came to me referred from two local businesses that they already trusted. Thats when something clicked and everything changed for me.
Within the next six months Bedros created over 27 different fitness marketing strategies and tactics that produced new clients. He tracked these over a two year period, tested, and tweaked each marketing system until his business grew to five fitness centers throughout north county San Diego, CA with a total 43 full and part time personal trainers, and gross annual revenues reaching almost one million dollars.
When there is a predictable personal training marketing system in place, personal trainers are more likely to get all the clients they need. Many personal trainers spend years trying to figure out what works best and become frustrated at the countless hours and money spent doing so. Its one of the reasons I created System 9, so other trainers wouldnt have to spend two years of trial and error trying to figure out what works and what doesnt, says Keuilian.
Keuilian has been called the hidden genius behind many fitness marketing strategies and his website http://ptpower.com shares many of these strategies. It is the go-to blog for all fitness professionals needing solid advice on just about anything to do with their fitness business.
It really doesnt matter if you are marketing your fitness boot camp, personal training studio or one-on-one personal training, following the nine tactics and strategies of System 9 will teach you how to get the clients you need to substantially increase your income and take your fitness business to the next level, explains Keuilian.
