FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WORLDWATER & SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES SELECTED FOR
$4 MILLION SOLAR CONTRACT BY CITY COUNCIL OF
OCEAN CITY, NEW JERSEY
COUNCIL CHOOSES WORLDWATER TO BUILD LARGEST MUNICIPAL SOLAR INSTALLATION IN NEW
JERSEY
EWING, N.J. - March 11, 2008 - WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp. (OTC BB:
WWAT.OB), developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, today
announced that the City Council of Ocean City, NJ has awarded the Company a
contract to build a $4 million solar system for the City which is expected to
produce nearly 550,000 kilowatt-hours of energy in its first year. The Ocean
City Municipal Solar Energy Power Project will include roof mounts on the
Cultural Arts and Community Center, the new Public Works Complex building, the
Vehicle Maintenance Center and the Sports and Civic Center.
The award for the long-term Power Purchase Agreement with WorldWater is expected
to allow Ocean City to offset approximately 17% of the City's total yearly
electricity requirements for buildings that it owns and/or operates. The project
is expected to be completed later this year.
"This is a win-win for WorldWater and the State of New Jersey," said Quentin T.
Kelly, Chairman and CEO. "Following on our successful installations elsewhere
in the state, these rooftop applications will save Ocean City millions of
dollars overall and once again prove that sustainable energy is a sensible
solution as oil prices remain at record levels. Under WorldWater's awarded
contract, which lasts 15 years, the company will receive $1.6 million in rebates
from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, along with solar renewable energy
credits (SRECs) and federal tax credits on top of the ongoing electric billings
to be paid by Ocean City. We are pleased to continue providing New Jersey
residents with cutting edge, environmentally-friendly ways to power their way to
the future."
Four proposals were received by the City, which selected WorldWater. Mayor
Salvatore Perillo stated: "At a time when we are seeing double-digit increases
in annual electric costs, this is welcomed savings. The savings will start in
July and will help us to reduce our energy budget."
WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp. is a global leader in the design,
engineering and delivery of solar energy systems. The largest source of carbon
dioxide emissions, the leading cause of global warming, is caused by electric
power generating stations burning fossil fuel.
In addition to Megawatts of installations in the US and globally, solar
installations completed by WorldWater in the State of New Jersey include: the
Federal Courthouse Annex in Trenton; Liberty Science Center in Jersey City;
Atlantic County Utilities Authority Water Treatment Plant in Atlantic City;
Voorhees Middle School in Voorhees Township; Ray Angelini Incorporated (RAI)
Electrical Contractors in Sewell and Richard Stockton College in Pomona.
This installation by WorldWater will eliminate over 820,000 lbs of CO2 being
released in the atmosphere.
