Xnergy has an alternative energy project pipeline opportunity of approximately $585 million.  The projects are all located in California and the target clients are those that have a premium credit rating and have large energy needs. These candidates include hotels/casinos industrial manufacturing, life sciences, telecommunications, medical, churches, pharma and public facilities.
