World Energy El Islan S.A. enters agreement for the purchase of El Islan
hydroelectric power plant turbines from Gugler Water Turbines GmbH
On 31 January 2011 World Energy Holdings&Research PLC ('WEHR' or the
'Company') announced the signing of a Letter of Intent by its subsidiary
World Energy Hydro Limited to acquire controlling interests in 5 Hydro
Electric Power Plant special purpose entities in Central America, including
a 75% stake in World Energy El Islan S.A. ('El Islan S.A.').
While due diligence and negotiations concerning this proposed acquisition
remain ongoing and completion of the acquisition would be subject to WEHR
shareholder approval, WEHR is pleased to announce in conjunction with El
Islan S.A. that El Islan S.A. has entered into an agreement to purchase two
1875 Kw spiral turbines from leading Austrian firm Gugler Water Turbines
GmbH ('Gugler' - http://www.gugler.com). The turbines are a material
component of the El Islan hydroelectric power plant project where the
agreement with Gugler provides for their supply, delivery and installation
by Gugler on a wire-to-water basis.
'This is a significant step towards completion of the El Islan
hydroelectric power plant in Guatemala and underpins our desire for WEHR to
acquire El Islan S.A.' says WEHR CEO Edgar Perez.
