Bid for Solar System at Federal Courthouse in Trenton
SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 7 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- WorldWater & Power Corp.
(OTC Bulletin Board: WWAT.OB), developer and marketer of proprietary high-
power solar systems, recently announced that the company has been awarded a
$346,694 contract by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to build
a solar electric system at the Clarkson S. Fisher U.S. Courthouse Annex in
Trenton, New Jersey. The project is a joint venture with Ray Angelini, Inc.
(RAI) of Sewell, New Jersey. The WorldWater winning bid calls for the
installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof of the seven-story glass
tower, which was completed in 1996. The solar system will provide a portion
of the Annex’s electricity and the Federal Government will earn "net
metering" credits for its solar electric production from PSE&G when the
offices are closed. Approximately $147,500 of the construction cost will be
paid in the form of a rebate from the New Jersey Clean Energy Program.
Quentin T. Kelly, Chairman of WorldWater & Power commented on the new
contract, "As far as we know, this is the first contract awarded by the GSA
Mid-Atlantic Region to build a solar electric system and we are proud to be
the winning bidder. GSA’s commitment to a clean, efficient energy benefits
everyone with better air quality and help taxpayers by lowering the
operational costs of government facilities."
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy
development and information provision agency created by Congress to improve
government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. GSA
is committed to incorporating principles of sustainable design and energy
efficiency into all of its building projects. To evaluate and measure its
green building achievements, all GSA new construction and substantial
