LONDON (Reuters) - Renewable energy firm Ocean Power Technologies has won a A$66.5 million ($61 million) grant from the Australian government for a project set to be one of the first to generate power from waves on a utility scale.
Ocean Power, which is listed in both the U.S. and London, said on Friday work on the 19 megawatt project, enough to power 10,000 homes, was expected to begin by the second quarter of 2010.
The company uses buoys floating up and down to drive an electrical generator, with the power generated being transmitted onshore via an underwater cable.
The project off the coast of Victoria is being carried out in conjunction with Leighton Contractors, a unit of Australian mining contractor Leighton Holdings.
The Australian government is aiming to generate 20 percent of the country's electricity from renewable sources by 2020 and the grant awarded to Ocean Power forms part of funding totaling A$235 million for four renewable energy projects.
Ocean Power said, however, further funding would be needed to complete the wave power station.
Ocean Power's London shares, which have gained 30 percent over the last month, closed up 6 percent at 432.5 pence. It was trading up 25 percent on Nasdaq by 1706 GMT.

Panasonic Wants Sanyo Electric's Batteries
Shares in Asia closed mostly lower today with Japan's Nikkei Index falling 1.3 percent to 9,717. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index fell 0.6 percent to close at 21,479, and in China, the Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.9 percent, ending the day at 3,155.
In Japan, Sanyo Electric Co. (SANYY) plunged 20 percent to 174 yen ($1.93) per share as Panasonic Corp. (PC) made an offer to buy the company at 131 yen ($1.45) a share. Panasonic hopes to acquire Sanyo, which makes rechargeable batteries and other appliances, including vending machines, and has several contracts to provide batteries for hybrid cars.
Despite recently sealing deals with major automotive companies like Ford, Honda and PSA Peugeot Citroen Group to provide car batteries, Sanyo has floundered. It has laid off thousands of employees and sold unprofitable operations. But the company is still a leader in green energy technology, making solar panels and batteries that could make Panasonic even more competitive. Panasonic lost 1.9 percent in today's trading.
Other electronics makers also slid today. Olympus Corp. (OCPNY) plunged 4.5 percent, Fuji Electric Holdings Co. Ltd. (FELTF) lost 3.6 percent and Alps Electric Co. Ltd. (APELF), which manufactures electronics for cars, dropped 3.9 percent.
Japanese consumer lenders fared well after a Citigroup analyst raised his rating on the industry. Takefuji Corp. (TAKAY) soared 19 percent, Promise Co. (PMSEY) climbed 15 percent and Acom Co. (ACMUY) added 7.6 percent.
In its Hong Kong debut, Evergrande Real Estate Group Ltd. rocketed up 34 percent today. The developer is one of the largest in Mainland China, developing high-end luxury residential buildings in Guangzhou in southern China, which their brochure describes as "foreign-style houses with scenes." The properties represent the newest of new in China – tower blocks with sports and shopping facilities, bordered by manicured gardens. Many have lakefront views and provide easy access to business areas. The company currently has projects in 23 cities.
Other Hong Kong developers fell today, as investors worried that the government would take action to control the surging property market. Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd. (SUHJY) slid 1.7 percent. Cheung Kong Holdings Ltd. (CHEUY) lost 1.5 percent and Henderson Land Development Co. Ltd. (HLDVF) slipped 0.9 percent.
In China, shares in railroad companies continued to climb with both Daqin Railway Co. Ltd. and Guangshen Railway Co. (GSH) climbing 4 percent. Shanghai Pudong Road & Bridge Construction Co. climbed 4.4 percent today on expectations that it will profit as building begins on the newly approved Walt Disney theme park, now slated to begin construction in Shanghai's Pudong area. In a region now accustomed to nonstop building, the new Disney project will fit right in.

Electric Scissor Lift a One of a Kind
DSP Electrical Contractors has conquered narrow 1.75 m aisles and high level work on a current warehouse refit project using the UK’s first 1.2 m wide, 22.5 m working height electric scissor lift.

NEMA Electrical Baseboard Heaters Standards Published
Nov 3, 2009 9:12 AM
DC 10-2009 covers temperature limit controls for residential electrical baseboard heaters
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), Rossyln, Va., has published DC 10-2009, "Residential Controls—Temperature Limit Controls for Electrical Baseboard Heaters," which revises the 1983 version reaffirmed in 1989 and 2003.
DC 10 defines the basic standards for rating, classification, construction, testing, and performance of temperature limit controls for application on electric baseboard heaters. These controls or controls systems, of either the automatic- or manual-reset type, are responsible for disconnecting the electrical load when the heater reaches abnormally high temperatures.
Revisions include the addition of metric units and updates to the voltage ratings and marking requirements.
"DC 10 was designed to promote direct interchangeability of temperature limit controls for electrical baseboard heaters through industry standardization and assist users in selecting the proper controls for a particular application," says Tuong Nguyen, member of NEMA’s Residential and Commercial Controls Technical Committee. "This new revision will be very helpful for residential home builders and electrical contractors.”
DC 10 may be downloaded at no charge from the NEMA Web site.

Suburban apartment-rental markets in Casselberry, Winter Springs and Oviedo are outperforming the Orlando area as whole, which has a 12 percent vacancy rate, according to a report by Charles Wayne Consulting Inc.
Complexes in those Seminole County cities are only 7 percent vacant, based on the Maitland real-estate research firm's September apartment census.
More than one-fourth of the 623 rental complexes in the region were 95 percent full, which is considered capacity by industry standards. And 245 of them had managed to boost their occupancy rates during the last six months.
Apartment complexes in west Orange County appeared to be the hardest hit in the market, with vacancy rates of more than 20 percent.
Apartment properties built from 1990 to 2004 had vacancy rates of less than 10 percent.
Mortgage activity up
Mortgage payments for homebuyers are now hovering around $1,200 a month, more in line with Orlando-area rents, according to a quarterly report by FBC Mortgage of Orlando.
In keeping with Orlando's high sales volume and plummeting prices, mortgage amounts are dropping while the number of transactions increases, said Rob Nunziata, FBC president.
"Although credit and underwriting guidelines have tightened, buyers are still able to get financing and rates are still at historically low levels," he said.
The report noted an increase in federally backed mortgages, with the local market in a position to loan more than 50 percent of its mortgage money via FHA, VA and USDA loans. The last time government financing reached such a level was in 2003. Refinancing activity ground to a halt, as 90percent of loans in the market went to homebuyers.
Credit scores dropped in the third quarter of the year, following two quarters of improved credit ratings, according to credit-reporting agencies.
Construction
HW Davis Construction Inc. of Orlando recently completed the Solantic walk-in, urgent-care facility on South Orange Avenue in Orlando and a new cardiac-catheterization lab for Health Central. The company was also selected by Orlando Health to construct a data center in the SunTrust Tower in downtown Orlando. Fred M. Humphrey & Associates Inc. was the architect for the project. ...
Altamonte Springs-based Tri-City Electrical Contractors Inc. is doing $5.8 million worth of work at Orange County Public Schools' 438,765-square-foot Edgewater High School replacement-and-renovation project in Orlando, under its contract with W.G. Mills Inc. of Orlando. Completion is slated for April 2011. ...
Kissimmee-based Terry's Electric Inc. was awarded a contract by the school district of Osceola County for the multimillion-dollar, 105,000-square-foot Elementary School "N" in Kissimmee. W.G. Mills is the general contractor for the project, which is slated for completion in July 2010.
