EnviroMission has begun moving forward to build two 200 MW solar updraft towers in Arizona.[7] In October 2010, they received approval from the Southern California Public Power Authority to sell electricity generated from the facilities.[8] EnviroMission lost a deal with the Southern California Public Power Authority after EnviroMission was unable to guarantee a completion date of their solar tower. As of 2014, construction had not begun.[9]
The company has been delisted from the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) since April 2016.
