Solar Power Industry Continues to Grow in St. Clair CountyMichigan

Energy Components Group, LLC (ECG) announced today its intention to locate an alternative energy manufacturing plant in the City of St. Clair, Michigan. ECG serves customers in the solar and wind power industries, and expects to create approximately 250 new jobs and invest $20 million over the next several years with increased demand for production.

Bill Cedar, Mayor of St. Clair, said this facility brings not only a great opportunity to the City by way of total investment and job creation, but also in the potential for St. Clair to become a leader in the area of Alternative Energy manufacturing in the future. The City of St. Clair hopes to capitalize on its access to rail, port and highway to position itself in the alternative energy industry.

Rich Pirrotta, Chief Operating Officer of ECG commented we appreciate the opportunity to expand in the City of St. Clair, and the assistance we have received from the MEDC and St. Clair EDA in deciding to locate in Michigan.

ECG received a Michigan Economic Growth Authority (MEGA) employment tax credit valued at up to $2M along with the City of St. Clair creating a Renewable Energy Renaissance Zone (RERZ) for their facility.

Doug Alexander, Executive Director of the EDA, said we are extremely excited not only about the significant jobs and investment this non-automotive project will bring to our community, but the opportunity it presents to build on this success and attract other alternative energy manufacturing companies.

ECG anticipates commencing operations in St. Clair in the fall of 2009.
