Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — A proposed solar cell manufacturing plant at Mesa Del Sol will not be built after all. The 942-million dollar facility would have employed 900-people. The plug has been pulled by the federal government. Ebon’s headquarters is in Singapore – and federal policy constraints are said to prevented the company from setting up operations. The plant had even secured tax and development incentives from the state, Bernalillo County and the City of Albuquerque. A spokesperson for the city says, “While we are disappointed the project will not move forward, Albuquerque remains well-positioned to attract advanced energy manufacturing and will continue pursuing high-quality investment and job creation opportunities.”
