Alternative Energy Partners (AEGY) Signs European Energy Deal
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA--(Marketwire - July 12, 2010) - Alternative Energy Partners (OTCBB:AEGY) today announces that it has signed an agreement to deliver energy in Europe, guaranteeing it a spot in the competitive foreign alternative energy market.
The terms of the deal give AEGY's wholly owned subsidiary Skynet Energy Systems access to obtain Line Reservations in Europe, with a guaranteed minimum sale of 19.65MW energy at local prices ranging from approximately $0.42/kw to $0.72/kw. Pursuant to the agreement, Skynet will provide energy in Europe, including Bulgaria and the Czech Republic.
"The European Union and its member states have a mandate to derive 20 percent of their energy mix from renewable sources by 2020," said Gary Reed, CEO of Alternative Energy Partners. "As a result, they are aggressively seeking alternative energy solutions, and we believe our line of products and services is ideally suited to meet their needs."
Europe is ahead of the curve on alternative energy. Both national governments and the European Union as a whole have been supportive of efforts to increase alternative energy usage throughout the continent. A recent photovoltaic (PV) market analysis by Solarbuzz.com stated that 9 countries will deliver market sizes in excess of 250 MW PV in 2010, up from 6 countries in 2009. Europe, that report stated, anticipated rapid growth in three countries, Italy, France, and the Czech Republic, would generate 3 gigawatts (GW) of demand this year.
Reed says, "The European marketplace shares AEGY's passion for accessing the best alternative energy technology available; the demand is there. We are thrilled to see this deal take form and are actively exploring additional opportunities for AEGY to expand in this welcoming and increasingly rewarding environment."
