Alternative Energy Partners' (AEGY) Xnergy Selected to Commission John Wayne Airport Central Plant Upgrade and Cogeneration Project; Project Nears Finish

MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA--(Marketwire - Dec. 13, 2010) - Alternative Energy Partners AEGYD, is proud to announce that Xnergy, Inc., its engineering, construction, and alternative energy firm based in Southern California, was selected to commission the Plant Operation for the John Wayne Airport Quality Controls (QC) Cogeneration Plant. The Plant is part of a widely publicized $543 Million expansion project at John Wayne Airport ("JWA").

Xnergy has provided the Airport with the design and implementation of a QC (Quality Control) program for the extended cogeneration plant. Major equipment components consisting of four natural gas fired 1,250kw Cummings Generators, two 535 ton Broad absorption chillers, and three Carrier 750 ton water cooled centrifugal chillers were included. The QC program included installation verification, all construction, in addition to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services. Xnergy's approach to the project allowed coordination between trades, installed exactly per design, and completed with the highest level of quality and performance.

The $17M plant upgrade is on schedule to be completed by the end of this year. The plant upgrade is part of a major improvement to the existing Airport. In addition to the central plant, John Wayne Airport is adding a third passenger terminal, parking structure, and making improvements to the airport's two existing terminals.

Rob Ford, Director of Operations at Xnergy, says, "It was imperative that the Airport have a comprehensive program. The central plant will allow the new terminal to function properly and be a comfortable environment for the millions of travelers it receives annually. The cogeneration plant will enable JWA to self-generate much of their own power in a less expensive manner than purchasing from the grid."

Xnergy has extensive experience in cogeneration plant design.
