ANNAPOLIS, MD--(Marketwired - Mar 3, 2017) - Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (
Additionally, the Company announced that its majority owned single purpose project development company, Arizona Green Power LLC (AGP) had executed a new five year "Development and Development Rights Agreement" with the City of San Luis, Arizona. The Agreement provides for the necessary permits and rights of way needed to complete the development of a Solar Wind Energy downdraft tower project in San Luis, Arizona. The Agreement also guarantees the project a 50-year water supply agreement by the City. The Agreement replaces a similar shorter-term agreement between the Company and the City that was set to expire in June 2017.
Ron Pickett, CEO of SWET and Managing Member of AGP commented: "This new Agreement supports a time frame necessary to complete construction of the San Luis tower project. The Company and AGP salute the Mayor, City Council and staff of San Luis for their understanding and unanimous support for this project and we reassured San Luis of our absolute commitment to make this project a reality."
The Company and AGP are continuing to work with their expert consultants to advance the engineering and update the cost estimates for the project which are needed to support the pursuit and the timing for potential power purchase agreements. It is noteworthy that some of our consultants have donated their services in 2016, others have deferred some payments for their services and all have continued to enthusiastically support our efforts to bring this potentially global changing solution to the market.
The Company had very limited capital available for 2016 operations. Moving forward required the much needed assistance and cooperation from our consultants, deferred payroll by all employees, the necessary minimum operating capital supplied from the personal funds of the CEO, the conversion of much debt into equity, and the outright forgiveness of debt by others.
Management looks forward to the opportunity it faces in 2017 and thanks all of those who have believed in the Company for their support!
