The agreement was executed between the four owners of the property and both Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. and Arizona Green Power LLC, established by the Company to develop the downdraft energy tower in San Luis, AZ. The purchase amendment follows a recent announcement that Arizona Green Power LLC had executed a Five Year Development and Development Rights Agreement with the City of San Luis, AZ to support the permitting and development of the downdraft energy tower on the site. The agreement with the City of San Luis also provides for a 50 year water supply agreement to support the water needs of the project.

Estimated up to 2,000 construction jobs and hundreds of skilled permanent jobs. Estimates for the output of electricity at this site are 3.7 million megawatt hours/year. That same amount of electricity generated from fossil fuel based plants could consume 6.8 million barrels of oil, 29 billion cubic feet of natural gas, or 2 million tons of coal annually. The Solar Wind Tower can eliminate up to 3 million metric tons of CO2 discharge annually when compared to a fossil fuel fired facility. The company expresses its gratitude to both the City of San Luis, Arizona and the owners of the site for their confidence and continued support for this project.
