Alternate energy plant looking for partners in South Hillsborough

Epic Innovations is looking to build hybrid concentrated solar energy farms augmented with biomass to produce steam to generate electricity. The technology, according to SHED, performs under various environmental conditions, including nighttime, with lower cost and complexity and greater kilowatt output. These solar biomass hybrids can be built to smaller applications as low as 10 kilowatt to 100 kilowatts for rural communities where power companies may not exist or find it difficult to justify installing the required infrastructure. Epic Innovations said in a release that it could build 5,000-megawatt hybrid farms on 1,000 acres. The company said it has its own financing fro...
