Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. Prepares to Enter Energy Market in Mexico

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET, the "Company") announced today that the Company had signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to enter into a Definitive Agreement  to purchase a 3,200 acre site in Mexico that has the ideal attributes required for the Company's Downdraft Tower, an alternative energy project currently under development.  

The Company intends to build and operate two Clean Wind Energy Downdraft Towers on this site. The proposed property is located in a particularly exceptional area for the development of these projects as it possesses suitable access, along with the required topography.

Both Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. and the current land owner have been in discussions regarding this project since the later part of 2011 and are working together diligently under the LOI towards the execution of a Definitive Agreement.

The land purchase is subject to the seller providing clear title and unrestricted access to the property as well as acquiring all of the needed prerequisites and approvals for the implementation of the Downdraft Towers including access to the power grid and the Company securing a satisfactory Power Purchase Agreement.

Abundant, Clean, Affordable Energy

As designed, the Company anticipates that each Downdraft Tower could generate enough electricity to power up to 1,000,000 homes using the guidelines set forth in the California Statewide Residential Appliance Saturation Study, 2004.  As an independent power producer of clean, renewable energy, the Company will not be selling power directly to consumers but rather to the grid.  As currently designed, the Company anticipates that each Downdraft Tower will be capable of generating 1,200 megawatt hours of salable electricity to the grid - one megawatt equates to 1,000,000 watts or 1,000 kilowatts of electricity.  Currently, average costs per kilowatt in California are running approximately $0.11/kilowatt hour.  Power sales at $0.11/kilowatt hour, from a plant capable of generating 1200 megawatt hours of power, averaging 750 megawatt hours of production, could generate in excess of $700 million annually in power sales.

Ronald W. Pickett, Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are excited about the opportunity to locate two Downdraft Towers in this region as it is one of the prime locations in the world due to the climate, which enables the Tower to produce an optimum amount of clean, renewable energy.  Other ideal locations for the Downdraft Towers include Western Australia, North Africa, and select regions of South America, India, the Middle East and South West USA."
