Renewable energy developer Avantus said its Aratina 1 solar-plus-storage project has entered commercial operation in California. The 200-MW/500-MWh installation in Kern County has long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) and Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE), a pair of community choice aggregators.Avantus on July 20 said the company will have a controlling stake in Aratina 1 and will operate the facility. The company said the project is among several **** ets it will oversee as it expands from a clean energy developer to an independent power producer (IPP)."Aratina 1 coming online marks a major milestone for Avantus as an independent power producer, providing reliable clean power to California communities for decades to come," said Cliff Graham, CEO of Avantus. "I'm incredibly proud of what Team Avantus built here. Their expertise across development, construction, financing and operations, and the trust our financing and CCA partners have placed in us, are the foundation we're building our long-term IPP model on.""The Aratina project is a powerful example of how community choice energy turns climate goals into real projects on the ground," said Robert Shaw, CEO of 3CE. "Our long-term commitment to 120 MW from this facility will deliver clean, affordable power to our customers while supporting California's transition away from fossil fuels. We're grateful to partner with Avantus on a project that strengthens grid reliability and invests in the Central Coast's clean energy future."
Avantus said a consortium of lenders, including Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., Truist Securities, ING Capital, and Mizuho, provided financing of more than $500 million for Aratina 1. The project also secured a $300-million tax equity commitment from Truist Bank. Officials said the project created about 500 jobs at peak construction."The clean power generated from the Aratina project gets us one step closer to our climate goals. New projects like this are critical in increasing statewide clean capacity and reliability as we reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and move towards an all-electric future," said Monica Padilla, CEO of SVCE.Avantus on Monday said that Aratina 2, the second phase of the Aratina Solar Center, located adjacent to Aratina 1, is currently under construction. Aratina 2 recently closed more than $525 million in financing and is targeting commercial operation before year-end. The Aratina Solar Center when complete will represent a combined 350 MW of solar and 952 MWh of energy storage.Avantus develops, owns, and operates utility-scale clean energy projects across California and the Desert Southwest. The company is backed by strategic investment from KKR and EIG. The company earlier this year closed a financing package of more than $300 million for a project in Arizona.Avantus and Clean Power Alliance, another community choice aggregator, earlier in July announced a 20-year PPA for the Rexford 2 solar-plus-s

SOLON, Ohio, July 21 (Reuters) - A nondescript facility south of Cleveland has become an early staging ground for the auto industry's next supply-chain pivot: replacing vehicle hardware from China.
The plant belongs to Eagle Wireless, a maker of electronics that was formed in late 2025, largely in response to a federal rule that bans certain Chinese connected-car software and hardware in U.S. vehicles by the end of the decade.
"There's a massive ‌opportunity for us," said TJ Dembinski, president of Eagle Wireless. He said Eagle grew out of a need to counter China's dominance in modules, which he knew would be challenging for U.S. automakers as the regulations took effect.
It's been ‌a mad dash to scale up production of modules, the small circuit boards that enable vehicles to have a wireless connection to the outside world. Eagle started with about 140 employees and is aiming to grow to 1,000 in the next three years. Its revenue expectations have increased by almost 100% for the year, to nearly $100 million.

Cathie Wood's exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ended June by selling $11.2 million worth of stock in synthetic DNA manufacturer Twist Bioscience (NASDAQ: TWST). On June 30, across its Ark Innovation ETF and Ark Genomic Revolution ETF, over 114,000 shares were sold. That was on the heels of more than 84,000 shares being sold previously in the month.
Hearing that so much stock is being sold can feel concerning, as shareholders may worry that Wood has found a problem with the company that they don't know about. But there could also be not-so-worrisome reasons why the Ark ETFs are selling Twist Bioscience.

PARIS, July 15 (Reuters) - Countries applying a global minimum tax on multinational companies saw corporate tax ‌revenues rise without a corresponding loss of jobs or investment, the Organisation ‌for Economic Co-operation and Development said on Wednesday.
The global minimum tax was designed to curb a decades-long race to the bottom in corporate taxation by allowing countries to levy top-up taxes when profits are taxed below 15% elsewhere, reducing the benefits of booking profits in low-tax jurisdictions.
More than 60 countries and territories have implemented the rules, while many others are preparing to do ‌so.
The Paris-based OECD estimated that ⁠the tax increased government revenue by €79 billion to €109 billion ($90 billion to $124 billion) in its first year, equivalent to 2.4% to 3.4% of global ⁠corporate income tax receipts.

Equinox Gold Corp. (NYSEAMERICAN:EQX) is one of the undervalued stocks to buy according to the Wall Street. On July 6, Equinox Gold announced the sale of 8,713,000 common shares of Versamet Royalties Corporation in a block trade for gross proceeds of C$130 million. This disposition reduces Equinox Gold's ownership interest in Versamet from approximately 10.7% to 2.7% on an undiluted basis.
Equinox Gold continues to hold its remaining Versamet shares for investment purposes, though it retains the flexibility to acquire or dispose of securities based on future circumstances. The company noted that it remains subject to certain escrow restrictions regarding its remaining holdings.
The sale triggers the termination of Versamet's right of first offer to acquire any royalty or stream held by Equinox Gold Corp. (NYSEAMERICAN:EQX). Additionally, the existing investor rights agreement between the two companies is set to terminate after Equinox Gold's ownership remains below the 10% threshold for 30 days.
Equinox Gold Corp. (NYSEAMERICAN:EQX) is involved in the exploration, operation, acquisition, and development of mineral properties in the Americas. It mainly explores silver and gold deposits. The company was founded in 2007 and is based in Vancouver, Canada.
While we acknowledge the potential of EQX as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

July 4 (Reuters) - After months of fanfare, President Donald Trump's administration will launch its flagship cradle-to-adulthood investment program, Trump Accounts, on Saturday, as the U.S. begins celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of its independence.
Trump Accounts, which will provide U.S. citizens born between 2025 and 2028 a government-funded investment account of $1,000 that ‌families can build on, is aimed at promoting investing and financial literacy from an early age.
The program adds a new savings vehicle to other tax-efficient college savings plans ‌and retirement accounts. Some critics have said the accounts will not do much for lower-income families who lack substantial disposable income to contribute.
"The $1,000 federal contribution at birth helps remove the barrier of having nothing to start with, which has historically been one of the biggest obstacles to saving," said Andy Blocker, head of policy, regulatory and government relations at financial services firm Edward Jones.

Timothy Horan, Oppenheimer's tech **** yst, believes that the valuation is based on the potential in the AI **** e.

Further, Horan opines that physical AI will be one of the "fastest-growing areas of AI over the next four to five years."
