The Alta project is currently backed by Allco Finance Group (Allco). This business has been negatively affected by the current sub-prime credit crisis. Allco will be selling its wind business, including the Alta Contract, thus the project is looking for a new buyer. The PPA between SCE and Alta has a "Consent to Assignment" clause that requires SCE's approval of any new entity fulfilling the obligations under the contract. On balance, the value of the project outweighs the potential financing risk.
