January 26, 2007—Ted Turner has announced the launch of a new business venture to provide clean power solutions.
Turner says he will partner with Dome-Tech Solar, a solar energy developer based in Branchburg, NJ, to create DT Solar, a Turner renewable energy company.
DT Solar will initially focus on providing on-site solar electric power systems for commercial and industrial clients, as well as developing larger, utility-scale solar power plants in the southwestern US, officials say.
The new company will build off of the recent success of Dome-Tech Solar, reportedly a fast-growing, top-tier provider of commercial and industrial solar power systems. The company plans for immediate expansion into several US markets, including California, which has recently launched a $3 billion, ten-year program to increase the use of solar power in the state.
