Yesterday I mentioned the utility purchase of a solar IPP. GTM picked up the story today of NEE buying Smart Energy Capital. NEE stock is up over 60% in the past year and has been seen making big moves into solar. Word has it that NEE COO has tasked the team to prove that distributed solar can be a threat to other utilities. The COO is a remarkable utility mind so his team is making sure they put their best foot forward. Let’s see how big of a player NEE becomes in the space.
