Dec. 7, 2010 (Marketwire) --
MANILA, PHILIPPINES -- (Marketwire) -- 12/07/10 -- Clenergen Corporation (OTCQB: CRGE)(FRANKFURT: 9CE) announced today that it had signed a Memorandum of Agreement with National Power Corporation (NPC) for generating off grid gasification biomass electricity and conclude, under a separate agreement, a 10 MW/h Consolidated Power Purchase Agreement. It is forecast that Clenergen would receive over $12 million annually in circa income and reduce NPC's operating costs by as much a $7 million per annum as a result of a reduction in the dependence of diesel generated electricity.
NPC's off-grid power development program aims to accelerate financing, construction and government infrastructure projects in its island economies. The 10 MW/h Agreement will cover the power needs of the Romblon cluster of islands totaling over 5 MW/h, Kalinga with at least 1.5 MW/h and the balance allocated for Palawan off-grid areas and other territories as mutually decided upon between NPC and Clenergen, as directed under the Public-Private Partnership program with the Philippine Government.
Commenting in the Agreement, Mark Quinn, Executive Chairman of Clenergen said "The Philippines continues to emerge as one of our most important emerging markets for renewable electricity. The combination of ideal climatic conditions for the cultivation of dedicated energy crops and improving investor credit ratings has positioned our company for explosive growth in this region".
National Power Corporation President Tampinco commented "Clenergen continues to pioneer in an alternative energy system that we see can help generate sustainable economies in our islands. We welcome this type of initiative to help diversify and balance our sources of power".
