Exhibit 99.1
BLUE EARTH ACQUIRES EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO 3.5 MEGAWATTS DC OF SOLAR PV PROJECTS IN HAWAII
Henderson, Nevada, Augest 3, 2012--Blue Earth, Inc. (OTCBB: BBLU) a renewable energy and energy efficiency services company announced today that it acquired the exclusive rights to construct seven different solar PV projects totaling approximatly 3.5 megawatts DC in Hawaii. The projects are valued at approximately $15 million.
The projects are located on the island of Oahu and are primarily ground mount solar systems. Six projects acquired by BBLU meet the requirements of the Renewable Energy Tier 2 Feed-in Tariff (“FIT”) offered by Hawaiian Electric Company (“HECO”). The planned projects will employ local trade people during their construction.
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Xnergy, Inc. will provide the engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) for the respective projects. Two projects are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2012 and are expected to be completed no later than the fourth quarter of 2012. Five projects are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2012 and are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2013.
Hawaii has the largest Renewable Portfolio Standard in the US, requiring 40% of the state’s energy be supplied by renewable energy by 2030. HECO’s Feed-In-Tariff (“FIT”) program is designed to encourage the addition of more renewable energy projects in Hawaii. Pre-established FIT rates and standarized FIT contract terms facilitate the process of selling renewable energy to HECO.
“These projects highlight Blue Earth’s commitment to advance our presence in Hawaii and become a leader in the development of solar PV systems that help protect the local environment from harmful emissions.” stated D. Jason Davis, CEO of Xnergy, Inc.
Xnergy is a full-service EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) firm, which has engineered, installed, and/or commissioned nearly 100 MW of traditional and alternative energy systems. Xnergy provides a broad range of comprehensive energy solutions, including the design and implementation of energy savings projects, energy conservation, energy infrastructure outsourcing, power generation and energy supply and risk management. Xnergy serves private and public clients from all industries throughout California and helps them minimize their energy consumption and reduce their carbon footprint.
