| Composite
Power's WNP-1&4 Acquisition Offer Benefits All Parties |
 |
- BPA
- BPA, a DOE organization, can free up tens of millions
of dollars near term for much needed power rate relief
or other uses.
- DOE's
Richland Operation Office - DOE-RL adds to its
successes in shrinking its footprint and leveraging
its Hanford assets for the benefit of the southeastern
Washington State communities impacted as DOE cleans
up and shuts down its Hanford operations.
- Cabinet-level
Department of Energy - DOE helps the Administration
implement its National Energy Policy. Composite Power's
plans for WNP-1&4 are a near-perfect match for
the Administration's and the Congress's push for 1)
developing sustainable, competitive, non-hydro renewable
energy; 2) expanding and improving the nation's antiquated
electric power infrastructure without degrading the
environment; 3) increasing energy efficiency; and
4) providing important national security benefits
as part of other needed power and infrastructure improvements.
- Energy
Northwest - Energy Northwest gets a thriving industrial
power park as its neighbor and a potential partner
with the opportunity to share benefits and infrastructure
thereby reducing its own costs as Composite Power
implements its reuse plans.
- Southeastern
Washington Communities - Jobs and essential, new
infrastructure to lure new companies and support existing
companies are a direct result of Composite's acquisition
and reuse of the WNP-1&4 site. The communities
in close proximity to the WNP-1&4 site will gain
the benefits of hundreds of family wage, private sector
jobs unrelated to the ups and downs of federal budgets
for DOE cleanup work in the area. The neighboring
communities also gain a major new industrial power
park asset that can help attract other primary and
secondary industries and jobs to the region.
- Benton
County - Benton County, where WNP-1&4 is situated,
will finally begin to realize tax-related income as
site reuse progresses from an otherwise dormant, virtually
abandoned site in the mid-Columbia River Basin desert.
Benton County will also gain an attractive, landscaped,
highly functional, privately-owned industrial power
park site as part of its asset base.
- Composite
Power Corporation - Composite Power, rather than
having DOE lease terms and conditions as incentives
to help ensure timely reuse of the site, will have
up to $45 million of incentives to beneficially and
timely reuse the WNP-1&4 site. Composite Power
will also own the site with several advantages and
flexibilities of ownership that generally outweigh
leasing.
- Other
Parties - Other parties, including but not limited
to, tribal nations, organized labor, environmental
organizations, public and investor owned utilities,
and many others will benefit from Composite Power's
acquisition and reuse of the WNP-1&4 sites
