NEW YORK, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- 3Power Energy Group Inc. ("3Power" and "the Company") (OTCBB: PSPW), a developer and operator of hydroelectric power plants in Albania, has announced that the Board of Directors of 3Power Energy Group has selected Mr. Sharif Rahman as the Company's new Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Rahman, who is currently the CFO of 3Power Energy Group and will remain in this interim position until a new CFO is appointed, began his new role with the Company effective March 14, 2013.

Prior to joining 3Power as a Director in September 2011, Mr. Rahman was formerly the CEO of the Falak Holding Group of companies, a Dubai based group involved in several diversified business sectors. This included being a major shareholder of the $3.6 billion Dubai Sport City project—the world's largest sports themed real estate project. After graduating with a major in commerce from Kerala University in India, Mr. Rahman joined the Falaknaz Holding Group upon its inception 36 years ago and has led the group's projects from the startup stage to full operation.

Mr. Rahman remains the personal investment and business advisor to Mr. Falaknaz, a prominent Dubai-based high net worth entrepreneur and the founder and owner of the Falak Holding Group. In addition to his work with the Falak Holding Group, he was also the Founder and Managing Partner of International Expo Consults, one of the Middle East's leading exhibition and trade show organizers.

Mr. Rahman stated, "I am honored to have been selected as 3Power's new CEO and look forward to working with all key stakeholders to meet our strategic objectives. As Albania's economy develops and its existing energy infrastructure ages, we believe we are well-positioned as one of the few companies in the country that is working to meet its future power needs. We will continue to focus on the Shala River, where there has been a strong track record of successful hydroelectric power generation. This factor, coupled with our expertise and knowledge of the capital markets, will ensure that we develop assets that yield a high rate of return on investment while providing reliable service to the people of Albania."
