Clean renewable energy facility to reopen

VISTA, CALIFORNIA - Envirepel Energy, Inc. (EEI) announced it plans to reopen its first Renewable Energy Facility (Kittyhawk) by the middle of April, after temporarily closing it in June 2009 to address a shareholder proxy effort.

The Kittyhawk Project is a 2.5 MW biomass fueled power generating facility, with additional bio-fuel production from recovered water and CO2. The "anti-global warming" and virtually non-polluting facility design was permitted and built in the middle of a commercial business park. Kittyhawk sets the stage for many additional environmentally friendly facilities to be developed and financed.

"By ensuring that the facility doesn't give off any significant amounts of pollution, EEI has shown that we can obtain very difficult permits where others cannot," said Anthony J. Arand, the Company's Founder, Chairman and CEO.

"I'm very happy to announce that we plan to have our team back to work by the middle of next month, so that we can complete commercial operations of the power plant and the initial bio-fuel production by the 4th quarter of this year. If our CO2 recovery and bio-fuel production technology is successful, then potentially 5% or more of the nation's energy needs could be produced with our process from our country's post recycled landfill waste supply," said Arand.

The California Public Utilities Commission has called EEI "the answer" to California's need for clean renewable energy. EEI would also help to satisfy Governor Schwarzenegger's mandate that renewable energy comprise 20 percent of the electrical energy portfolios of California's utility companies by the end of 2010.

Over the past six years, EEI has designed, developed, manufactured and built the first low emissions combustion system. This ultra low combustion system consumes urban waste that would normally go in a landfill, and also has the capacity to consume high sulfur coal, tires, animal waste and many other "biomass" feed stocks that would pose a significant pollution problem to other power generating, or bio-fuel production facilities.

The company has over 300 MW of projects in various stages of development in San Diego and Imperial Counties. These project sites include business parks, rural agricultural areas, and metropolitan landfill sites.

Louisiana power grid needs 'complete rebuild' after Hurricane Laura, restoration to take weeks

LAKE CHARLES - The main power utility for southwest Louisiana will need to "rebuild" the region's grid after Hurricane Laura blasted the region with 150 mph winds last week, top officials said.

The Category 4 hurricane made landfall last Thursday just south of Lake Charles near Cameron, damaging or destroying thousands of electric poles as well as leaving "catastrophic damages" to the transmission system for southwest Louisiana.

“This is not a restoration," Entergy Louisiana president and CEO Phillip May said in a statement. "It’s almost a complete rebuild of our transmission and distribution system that serves Calcasieu and Cameron parishes.”

According to Entergy,…
