Universal Bioenergy's NDR Energy Group Awarded Gas Supply Contract for Power Generation

IRVINE, Calif., Aug 8, 2011 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) --
Universal Bioenergy Inc., (Pink Sheets:UBRG), a publicly traded energy company, announced today that NDR Energy Group, its subsidiary, was awarded a contract to supply natural gas to one of the largest gas and electric utility companies in the United States for power generation.
The contract was awarded by one of the largest combination natural gas and electric utilities in the United States. The customer provides natural gas and electric service to approximately 15 million people throughout a 70,000-square-mile service area on the west coast. Its parent company is traded on the NYSE and reported revenues of $13.84 billion in its 2010 annual report.
NDR Energy's CEO, Ken Harris states, "This transaction represents an outstanding accomplishment for our sales division. This transaction is a first for NDR. We have had huge recent success with our sales of natural gas to utilities for traditional residential and commercial usage. However, we are now solidly involved in the sale of natural gas for power generation. Additionally, it speaks volumes about our company, in that we were able to complete this transaction with one of the largest utility companies in the country."
"As part of our growth strategy, this is really a monumental step for us in selling gas for power generation. The agreement limits us from disclosing the customers name and some details, however the value of the gas to be supplied under the agreement is approximately $1.9 million in a single month. We feel this should have a significant impact on Universal's market value and have a positive effect on our shareholders. NDR is aggressively pursuing more deals in the power generation segment of the utility industry, and we anticipate more contract awards in the future," says Universal's President Vince M. Guest.
