MINNEAPOLIS, August 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Today, SOO Green HVDC Link ProjectCo, LLC (SOO Green) announced the launch of an innovative Open Solicitation process to allocate transmission capacity rights on a first-of-its-kind project co-locating electric transmission line underground within an existing railroad corridor. The 2,100 MW, high voltage direct current transmission line will link energy markets in the Midwest and Eastern United States, relieve Midwestern transmission constraints, and provide buyers direct access to a diverse portfolio of Midwestern generation.

SOO Green’s project route will run 350 miles from Mason City, IA to Plano, IL, and will follow an existing railroad corridor, greatly reducing environmental, viewshed and landowner impacts. The $2.5 billion interregional «backbone» transmission project will be operational in late 2024.

While SOO Green transmission capacity rights will be made available without preference to shippers across all asset classes, the project is especially well-suited for renewable generators in MISO in need of transmission paths to market, and for renewable energy buyers in PJM seeking direct access to large-scale, diverse and affordable renewable energy.

Parties interested in obtaining transmission capacity rights (shippers), generators interested in selling (suppliers) and customers interested in buying energy products transmitted by the SOO Green project (buyers), can register on SOO Green’s Open Solicitation website at www.soogreenhvdclink-os.com. London Economics International (LEI) will act as Independent Evaluator to administer the Open Solicitation process on behalf of SOO Green. The Open Solicitation process would involve three phases. First, Anchor Shippers will be able to obtain capacity rights at a published «reserve price.» Then, Phase 2 would allow for a voluntary «matching» process, where the Independent Evaluator will match interested shippers with suppliers and buyers, with aligned commercial interests, and give the matched parties an opportunity to negotiate any desired commercial arrangements to support the acquisition of capacity rights in the Phase 3 auction.

The SOO Green project is financially backed by Jingoli Power, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Siemens Energy, and has a strategic partnership with Canadian Pacific.

To obtain a detailed notice of Open Solicitation process please click here or visit SOO Green’s dedicated Open Solicitation website at www.soogreenhvdclink-os.com. For additional information about SOO Green, please visit the project website at www.soogreenrr.com.

Direct Connect Development Co, LLC is developing the SOO Green project and other innovative rail co-located transmission projects across the United States. The Direct Connect team possesses over 150 years of collective experience in the electric power, renewable energy, and transmission sectors.

ATLANTA, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Jackson Healthcare^®, a family of highly specialized healthcare staffing, search and technology companies, today announced that three non-profit organizations—Mission: Hope, SLIMS AFRICA and Lighthouse Family Retreat—have become tenants in LoveLifts Village^℠. These three organizations join several others, including Birds on a Wire and Giving Company, in the LoveLifts Village community located on Jackson Healthcare’s corporate campus in Alpharetta, Georgia.   

LoveLifts Village, which was launched in 2019, is designed to provide co-working and dedicated office space with flexible, affordable lease terms for local non-profit organizations. In this environment, they can advance their missions of serving others in a space that fosters collaboration and community with like-minded organizations. Non-profits based in LoveLifts Village are part of Jackson Healthcare’s secure campus and have access to its state-of-the art amenities.

«As we continue to expand our community in LoveLifts Village, we are excited for what the future holds,» said Shane Jackson, president of Jackson Healthcare. «We’re delighted to welcome Mission: Hope, SLIMS AFRICA and Lighthouse Family Retreat, and look forward to growing as a hub where non-profit organizations can collaborate with and work alongside each other in their shared commitment to serving others, which is especially important during these challenging times.»

Mission: Hope, founded by Ben Mathes and led by President and CEO Elisa Goodwin, works with local leaders and churches to bring sustainable change to poor communities in remote, unreached areas in parts of the world like Indonesia, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. It spends time evaluating the most urgent needs of the communities it serves; creates a comprehensive strategy for sustainable change based on those needs; and implements and monitors the strategy to ensure long-term success. «There are so many positives to working in LoveLifts Village,» explained Goodwin. «We love the campus and amenities. They are beyond anything we had hoped for. The location is ideal and secure. Everything about the environment is wonderful, but the biggest blessing are the people. We have been showered with love and support by everyone at Jackson Healthcare. It goes above and beyond to support us and our mission, and really cares about the people it works with. It inspires me to be a more beautiful reflection of Christ’s love.»

SLIMS AFRICA, led by Richard Wernick, is an organization committed to ending the cycle of poverty in Sierra Leone, which is among the poorest countries in the world. Short for Sierra Leone International Mission School, SLIMS AFRICA has worked in Sierra Leone for 27 years, building and operating five educational campuses, four churches and a healthcare clinic. The educational campuses provide schooling for more than 6,000 children, while the clinic safely delivers one baby per day. «LoveLifts Village is a convenient, enjoyable environment that allows for productive camaraderie with other non-profit groups,» noted Wernick. «The environment is affordable and offers amenities that are not typical at most offices – access to conference rooms, and workout and dining facilities. I would highly recommend LoveLifts Village to other organizations looking for office space.»

Lighthouse Family Retreat, led by Executive Director Chris Woodruff, is a faith-based non-profit that strengthens families living through childhood cancer by providing restorative retreats and helpful resources. For more than 20 years, the organization has offered week-long respites for families living through childhood cancer. These families experience a week of rest, relational connection, laughter and kindness on a retreat that is staffed by a team of volunteers, called family partners. «The campus at Jackson Healthcare provides such a unique opportunity for us,» said Woodruff. «We’re a small non-profit and on our own, we would never have the ability to find space in such a great location, on a gated campus, with so many great amenities. We truly feel blessed to be at LoveLifts Village.»

LoveLifts Village is an extension of Jackson Healthcare’s LoveLifts community impact platform, which is built on four pillars: people, programming, partnership and philanthropy. This unique environment serves as a multiplier to support the efforts and good works of the not-for-profit world.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Trenton Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of rugged servers, workstations, blade servers, storage systems, mini PCs, processor boards and PCIe backplanes, excels at designing rugged workstations for automated testing equipment (ATE) used by major defense and prime contractors across the nation.

Trenton Systems’ made-in-USA rugged workstations are a tried-and-true choice for ATE systems and ATE software. These hardened, high-performance workstations, available in 1U, 2U, 4U and 5U configurations, and sporting up to 18 PCIe slots, power ATE systems for industries and applications that utilize a variety of different test instruments daily, including those assessing the effectiveness of military weapons systems, communications systems, radar systems, electronic warfare systems and more.

«Our products are being used in support of a high mix of aerospace products, ranging from computer-controlled fuel sensing systems, electronic braking systems, actuation/controller missile systems and HUMS,» says Sean Campbell, Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Business Development at Trenton Systems. «Major prime contractors rely on Trenton’s hardware to support development of electrical, mechanical and software specifications to test end items. These designs must be traceable to their end customers and system specifications, thus making our hardware essential in support of the manufacturing/operations group to help ensure on-time delivery of products. We become an essential part of their ecosystem in the delivery of finished products, ensuring our products will perform as specified to meet customer and system requirements.»

Automated test and measurement systems are an essential part of assessing the reliability and functionality of electronic components, devices and systems. Not only can they diagnose faults and verify that certain electronic components are working properly, they can also cut manufacturing costs significantly by reducing test time.

Equipped with 7th Gen Intel Core i3, i5, i7 or Intel Xeon E3 V6 processors, up to 64GB of DDR4-2400 dual-channel memory across four ECC DIMMs and supporting front-access or internal 6 GB/s SATA drives and up to four optional M.2 drives and 18 PCIe slots, Trenton Systems’ made-in-USA rugged workstations have the computational power, speedy storage options and slots necessary to power your ATE system for years to come.

«One of our most popular board and backplane combos for ATE is a Trenton Systems TKL8255 processor board with a PICMG 1.3 backplane,» says Jeremy Lee, Strategic Account Manager at Trenton Systems. «The two most popular backplanes recently have been the BPG8155 and BPG6615. Our PCIe expansion chassis are also popular, as they allow our customers to use more I/O cards, a feature that isn’t an option with just one rack mount system. A recent customer chose Trenton Systems because of the PCIe Gen 3 slots that we were able to offer them, not to mention that they value BIOS-controlled, made-in-USA rugged computer systems backed by an incredibly helpful in-house support team for years to come.»

Trenton Systems is currently developing a rugged server that will revolutionize ATE. Stress-tested to military and industrial standards, made in the USA and equipped with next-gen dual Intel Xeon SP CPUs, 11 PCIe Gen 4 slots and 24 next-gen ECC RDIMM slots, the 3U BAM Server is the industry’s next ATE powerhouse.

Join Trenton Systems’ BAM VIP List to enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the BAM’s development, never-before-released BAM photos, first dibs on pre-release purchasing, access to our support team and more.

Along with a powerful system, choosing Trenton Systems comes with a host of other perks, including:

• In-house stress testing for MIL-STD-810 and DO-160
