New Generation Power International Announces 34.5

Megawatt Biomass Project in Japan

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - September 16, 2014) - New Generation Power

International, a leading global renewable energy company, will develop three

11.5 Megawatt (MW) wood biomass plants in Japan.
Together, Chicago-based New Generation Power International (NGPI) and
Nippon Energy Solution, Inc. (NES) will launch a new wood-based biomass
energy generation venture that will construct three separate facilities located
in the Japanese regions of Miyazaki and Kagoshima.
Expected to break ground around April 2015, the project will be capable of
generating 248 GWh of electricity annually, the equivalent of powering
44,000 households and cost an estimated $169.67 million USD.
With a strong presence throughout Japan and a robust relationship with the
local economies of Miyazaki and Kagoshima, NES will be responsible for the
project's development, operation and fuel supply. Synergy Power Solutions
and Artha Energy Resources will advise the transaction.
"Nippon Energy Solution is honored to create a great alliance with NGPI, one
of the largest energy companies in the world. We are very excited about this
opportunity," said Naoki Yamaguchi, President of NES. "We believe it will
contribute to a more stable energy supply and local economy, especially in
the forest industry."
The combined three 34.5 MW biomass plants pose little to no start-up risk
and will use state-of-the-art materials, which include 15,000 tons of
woodchips/month from domestic contractors. Long-term supply contracts
with local timber unions have already been secured and will supply roughly
50 percent of the materials.
In addition, roughly 10,000 tons of palm kernel shells (PKS) will be imported
each month from the overseas market. Currently, Indonesia produces 6
million tons, while Malaysia produces 4 million tons of PKS
annually. Negotiations with a major heavy machinery company have already
been initiated. The project is also seeking a plant operator for a minimum of
20 years to include periodical maintenance.
The 20-Year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) will allow 100 percent of the
energy generated by the biomass facilities to be purchased by a major PPA
carrier through the Feed-in Tariff Program (FIT). Since the renewal of FIT in
2012, the number of biomass facilities in Japan has grown, expanding
renewable energy sources and reviving an area devastated by the country's
2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Together, NGPI and NES intend to increase their biomass power plant
business by more than 100MW throughout Japan in the near future. They will
also be expanding their portfolio to both solar and geothermal energies
across the region.
"The NGPI team is very excited about developing these prestigious biomass
projects in Japan along with NES," said Nisha Joshi, President of NGPI. "We are
in the day and age where we have to use technologies to convert any waste
or remains into energy and keep the cycle going. This will not only help clean
the waste from the world's growing population, but also keep up with the
growing energy demand," she added.

New Generation Power is currently developing over 3000MW of hydro, solar,

wind and thermal projects across the globe in regions throughout Africa, the
Middle East, Europe, South America and the United States.
The Japan 34.5 MW wood biomass project is expected to commissioned by
the Fourth Quarter of 2016.
