Incorrect. Under OPA FIT 1.0 and 2.0 projects CAN be pre-sold. However only 25% of the shares can be transferred to the purchaser before COD.
However their is nothing stopping a pre-sale to be made with the terms under escrow to not transfer the remaining shares until AFTER the project is built and COD.
But don't trust me, call an Ontario lawyer who specializes in dealing with the OPA. Or even call another Solar Developer. See what they say.
You are right. I assume with the solar market being more mature, more financing groups and off-takers (companies that buy the contracts or built projects) and more projects built, there must be more confidence in the market.
This usually translates into better financing options. More competition to buy projects etc.
So not only do I doubt they are still only using the financing that was announced a few years ago I bet they have much cheaper financing. Speculation, yes. But I also speculate they can sell their projects for even more now also.
\
I have no idea why you keep mentioning a stock whisperer. I am speaking via these posts in a very clear 'nom-whisper' tone.
The 20 OPA that were outlined in the AWSL PR's were confirmed on the OPA website.
A press release was also put out by AWSL regarding $120,000,000 in project financing. So I assume that financing and others are available.
I cannot comment further on the CIA and NTO process. We are both in the dark until we see solid news on this front.
I agree with you Diag, that could very well be the delay. Whether it was this or the OPA delay either way I too look forward to hearing some news on this.
Please tell us since you seem to know all, how long is the NTP granting process to receipt of NTP to build?
FIT 2.0 Points can be achieved much easier for those positioned well. Its not magic, its positioning --
Capital ? Who's to say AWS can't just sell some of those FIT apps in queue to get the necessary capital to ensure the rest are processed. Or maybe even sell a couple of approved projects - Timestamps and contracts are valuable these days -- YES, projects that are still in queue or approved projects CAN be sold.
From what I am reading here, AWS must not have made any advancements on any fronts because they haven't announced any news publicly. Sorry, I don't buy it. I highly doubt they would just let 20 FIT contracts and dozens of old apps sit and rot. Negativity must be so consuming at times.
Since most here state Trahan is lying, perhaps they "do" have NTP's on all 20 projects - how far out are the LDC's/OPA allocating connection dates for after CIA's are performed ???
A bid thanks to Emray on the content.
Still waiting for the proof. I am getting tired of asking. But I am really enjoying you grasping for straws.
We can all see what is going on here.
Time for the post of the Street sweep again... Who was it that had a friend on Facebook that was fined?
I bet they could report $10,000,000 in sales tomorrow, showing profitability and there would still be the same complaining.
Actually $50,000,000 and we would still have to be reminded that Trahan had a friend on Facebook that was fined. OMG!
How much would the company have to report to get a "sorry, I guess I was wrong"?
You are right the same negative things have been said here for a couple years. All the PR's sound good to me and I will not fault the company or management that things are not happening fast enough. Some things are beyond any person's control.
The Streetsweep article which keeps getting posted was written a FEW YEARS AGO even though they conveniently left out a date. Any real news or articles have dates!
But regardless I understand Trahan had a friend on Facebook that was fined. I get it! OMG
The late Steve Jobs was fined by the SEC. Not his friend on Facebook. But actually HE as CEO. Does that matter to anyone?
Would you prefer him picking a firm date and HOPING the OPA would deliver on that date?
That would be misleading. I am glad he is honest and states the truth that "he is hoping" then to lie and make up a date or play gypsy fortune teller?
Grasping again ....
Followed by the Oct 12, 2011 PR stating:
That was a good PR thanks. They did end up achieving that goal. They are now firmly established in the sector. Getting 20 contracts from the Ontario Government's OPA (Ontario Power Authority" and as I hope they are building them this year. That means they are in the power producing business.
I called Trahan TODAY at the 416 900 0380 # and he confirmed that the projects are hoping to get their Notice To Proceed from the OPA some time in the next month or two and will schedule construction within 60 days of that. He re-iterated that they company will release news as soon as they get the NTP's.
Wow that was pretty easy to find out. Not sure why one would bother speculating. OH RIGHT YES I DO.
Yes I noticed. Must be the only way to counter logic. Short some more.
Here is your Buyins.net RegSHO Compliance Alert for May 16th, 2012. Our RegSHO Compliance Service helps to protect AWSL from short sellers and market makers that are violating the more stringent RegSHO market integrity provisions recently enacted. We are monitoring the trading activity in AWSL and here is today’s report:
Total Trading Volume: 472
Daily Short Volume: 232
Avg. Price of Shorts Today: 0.250
Short %: 49.15
Volume at Offer: 0
Buy%: 0.000
Volume at Bid: 472
Sell%: 100.000
Shares Crossed: 0.000
Cross%: 0.000
Net Buying vs. Selling: -472
Price Change: -0.05000
Friction Factor: -94.4
The above data is used to calculate if a fair market is being made in the shares of AWSL. Friction Factor determines if there is normal or abnormal behavior in the price action of the stock when compared to the buying vs. selling trading statistics. Today, your Friction Factor was -94.4. Here is how to understand Friction Factor:
1. If Friction Factor is positive, more buying than selling caused AWSL’s price to rise
2. If Friction Factor is negative, more selling than buying caused AWSL’s price to fall
3. If Friction Factor is 0, there was no discernable activity either way
4. If Friction Factor is abnormal, it means that more buying than selling caused the price to drop, which is evidence of manipulative activity. In some cases more selling than buying can cause the price to increase. While this is rare, it must be noted as well.
By signing up for our RegSHO Compliance Service, we will monitor your trading daily and identify short selling, illegal short selling, manipulative market maker activity and alert the media when a short squeeze begins and when forced buy-ins occur because we were able to get broker dealers, FINRA or the SEC to force “buy to covers” upon short sellers that have not located, borrowed and delivered shares shorted by T+3.
Here are our unique data sources:
1. Nightly Threshold Security Lists ("Naked Short Lists"): data comes from AMEX, NASDAQ, NYSE, OTCBB, PINKSHEET exchanges directly.
2. Daily Size of Failures to Deliver ("Size of Naked Shorts on a day to day basis): directly from SEC
3. Daily Short Sales Times and Sales Data: data comes from AMEX, NASDAQ, NYSE, OTCBB, PINKSHEET exchanges directly.
4. Brokerage firms that trades go through: data comes directly from AMEX, NASDAQ, NYSE, OTCBB, PINKSHEET exchanges
5. Names and positions of short sellers with assets under management exceeding $100 million: data will come directly from SEC
6. Blue Sheet Data Requests: We deal directly with FINRA and SEC to alert them as to which stocks and which brokerage firms SEC and FINRA need to investigate.
7. Trading Statistics and Friction Factor are based on data provided by all US stock exchanges and proprietary analysis of the activity.
The data we provide is extremely useful for AWSL for the following reasons:
1. Stop naked short selling in the company you are covering
2. Break the market maker hold on Level II box causing so much price friction
3. Our SqueezeTrigger Reports that cross newswires and are sent to our 720,000 users help break the rest of the shorts
4. Discourage new short sellers from shorting your stock
5. Stop the negative perception that dropping stock price places on normal day to day business operations
6. Combined all of these facets help to stop the daily drain that the short attacks have on the company.

Let’s set up a call to discuss further.
I called. I READ HERE on this board other people saying they contacted the company. I heard both calls and emails discussed.
WHy don't YOU call or email then? Oh yeah, some don't want the facts.
Asking a company via telephone or email requesting to speak to Oconnor (their IR guy) and being told that "I'm sorry he is no longer the IR contact. Atlantic did not renew the contract with Geneva bancorp"
Wow that was some real inside info. This is called BASIC due diligence..
Yawm...
Really... So what does this mean...
Yes. I read that also. Still do not see how that makes Oconnor a puppet master for AWSL.
He was an employee of Geneva Bancorp. Geneva was contracted as discussed in a few of the PR's out there and also the discussion here many times. So there is no "mystery" here. Save all the posts. I am sure the company or its supporters have done the same regarding slanderous ones.
Did you not read "Atlantic did not renew its contract with Geneva? Due Diligence my friend requires reading and asking questions.
Good point, such a small short trade stinks of market manipulation. Down ticking it 15% or more by a short sale is sure to draw red flags.
Just like the last weeks 100% short volume day.
I am happy that these trades get reported to FINRA and the SEC every time. I wonder how long if not already before they are investigating the people and firms behind these short manipulative trade.
I remain amazed that Oconnor is talked about so much. I do not see him listed now or in the past as either a officer, director or even a 5% or more shareholder.
I only see him listed as a contracted investor relations contact. If someone including Cousin thinks he is the puppet master they have to stop spiking their coffee.
Todays AWSL volume 49.15% short. Read the report...

Glad I am making you happy.
Go AWSL GO!
Record Quarters for Ontario subsidiary
The Company is pleased to report that in quarters two and three of 2011 its Ontario subsidiary, Atlantic Solar Inc. (ASI), processed more CAE solar projects from its pipeline than in any similar prior period since the inception of the OPA FiT Program. ASI had always remained optimistic that more OPA contract offers would be offered at the current tariff rates and is more so given the recent electoral results.
Atlantic CEO, Mr. Gilles Trahan comments: "Atlantic submitted over 11 megawatts of additional CAE solar project applications to the OPA during this short period of time and has prepared another 10 megawatts of applications now ready for submission." Mr. Trahan continued, "Since the restructuring of the organization last May the Company not only increased its processing speed but did so under a significantly reduced cost structure, greatly improving the Corporation's bottom line."
I hope they are not in AWSL offices otherwise that defeats the purpose of INDEPENDENT board members.
That was a good PR. Seems like they added a lot of depth to the board while replacing that good for nothing Cousin.
To strengthen its Board the company has retained two independent directors.
Dr. Luc C. Duchesne brings senior level experience, with a thorough understanding of the interface between regulatory bodies, businesses and science. From 1991 to 2003 he worked as a senior research scientist for Natural Resources Canada, enjoying a substantive career leading to the publication of 85 peer-reviewed scientific articles, book chapters or books. Since 2003 he has worked in various private and public companies dealing with various aspects of the Bioeconomy, a new economic trend to which Atlantic Wind and Solar subscribes in its business initiatives. Dr. Duchesne has consulted on a broad spectrum of renewable energy projects. For example in 2008-2010, he was hired as a consultant to assist in the development of a feedstock strategy for St. Mary's Renewable Energy Corporation. The strategy was used in the business planning for a 35 MW Combined Heat and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Ontario Power Authority -- total project value of $175 M was announced in Q4 2010. In 2006, he was retained by the Ontario Ministry of Energy to assess renewable feedstock solutions for the displacement of coal at Atikokan Generating Station (210 MW). Dr. Duchesne received a PhD from the University of Guelph, a MSC from the University of Toronto and a B. Sc. in Forest Engineering from Laval University in Quebec City.
Mr. Mark Holcombe brings a wealth of investment banking experience to the firm. He is presently Managing Director and Head of Asset Management for Madison Williams Advisors, LLC in New York as well as the Managing Partner of Stirling Partners (Bahamas). He was formerly Head of Corporate Development GEM Global Equities Management S.A. He has also worked as an investment banker at DLJ, NatWest Markets, and ING Merchant Banking. Mr. Holcombe presently serves as Director, Treasurer and Secretary of Pacific LNG Operations Ltd., and as a director of Blacksands Petroleum, Sandfield Ventures, Inc. and Mustang Alliance, Inc. Mr. Holcombe holds a B.A. from Colgate University.
First it was Occonor was putting out they PR according to this board. That it was not the company. Now we get a lesson on the Board duties. I am confused. So who do you think put out the PR. Please make up your mind if its is going to be stated as fact. Board, CEO/Director or 3rd party?
Yawn.
So are you saying Cousin failed also as director not just as CEO?
Yes I want the proof. Please show us where you see:
Criminals - please point to ANY charges, let alone convictions of anyone associated with the company. Using such a strong statement can open a person up to slander, libel or a defimation suit.
Trahan has never been an officer or director of HRAL and GRDC and don't understand what they have to do with this.
Please Keep the messages ON TOPIC. The topic is AWSL.
The "new hire" as you put it, was the President, CEO and director. I think it is pretty clear he would be in charge of such things.
Talk about grasping for something to complain about. Time for some facts or insights.
Cousin was the CEO in charge at the time of the release and would have been the final approval on that PR.
Contact press release services companies. They will CONFIRM that a 3rd party CANNOT put our a PR on another cmpany's behalf. OConner / Geneva was clearly a third party.
Or google that PR and every site that displays it will state the source as Atlantic Wind & SOlar NOT Geneva or OConnor.
I agree Trahan had the wool pulled over his eyes on the Cousin appointment.
Lets hope he makes up for it in court and with the business.
The President and CEO is responsible for all PR's. Just because their is an investor relation contact at the bottom does not make it the source. In fact the PR starts with date/location and then source. In this case AWSL. It even contained a long quote from Cousin the CEO.
As we can all se it is not ME trying to twist the facts!
I know that half of the dividends are non transferable. However they entitle the holder to ALL the same privileges. i.e. voting, dividends (both cash and stock) and will get paid like all other shareholders in the case of a sale or merger.
As far as Atlantic is concerned from all the deals, alliances JV's and partnerships I know of ONLY Cleland / Hybridyne being a problem.
But my hats off to management they moved swiftly and had the courts rule in their favour and and had the courts cancel 5 million shares of AWSL that Cleland was trying to steal. That is good management protecting the shareholders.
I hope and expect they will do the same with Cousin.
When showing charts you should point out that there has been 2 dividends equating to a 50% increase in the shareholders position that is not reflected in the charts.
You are right they sure did make a mistake hiring Cousin. I wish his performance was as good as that PR Cousin put out about himself.
I have no idea what that post means. As for the George W. example please please stop you are making me laugh and spilling my coffee.
I agree with your one point that this will only get sorted out in a court of law.
On behalf of myself and I am sure the real shareholders of Atlantic, good luck Atlantic. Show Cousin justice like you did to Cleland and Hybridyne!
Agreed. And Cousin was the man in charge for a year that appears to be one of lies and disappointments. My personal beef with this is not so much that he was a total failure. But more the lies and then trying to cause the shareholders damages by his suit.
UP 50% on light volume. This thing moves easy.
Atlantic Wind & Solar (PN) (AWSL)
$ 0.30 ? 0.10 (50.00%)
I agree that all shareholders are unhappy with the current price. Can you please elaborate on the reason or basis for which the continued attack on "Trahan or his mouth pieces". BESIDES the same street sweet sweeper article that claims he had a friend on Facebook that was fined.
I still do not see a PR that went out under his management that was as you call it "BS".
Of I had a nickel for every time I read that posted by the same people I could buy this whole company based on its current trading price! :)
