Composite Technology Corporation (CTC) (OTC Bulletin Board: CPTC) is pleased to announce a new order for a minimum of 600 kilometers (373 miles) of ACCC conductor for use on the Chinese electrical grid. The order issued to our subsidiary, CTC Cable Corporation, by Far East Composite Technology Company, a subsidiary of Jiangsu New Far East Cable Corporation (Far East), is made up of multiple conductor and core sizes and has a minimum value of approximately $4.9 million and an upper value of nearly $8.0 million depending upon the selection of conductor components. Final determination of conductor mix will be made in late September. Terms of the sale are consistent with an established three year Distribution Agreement which provides favorable cash management terms to CTC Cable. When this installation is completed, the installed base of ACCC conductor will be over 2385 kilometers (1482 miles) worldwide.
"Far East continues to advance sales and installation of ACCC in China. They have successfully positioned ACCC conductor within regional power bureaus and have shown a great ability to convey the product advantages to the decision makers within these bureaus" stated Marv Sepe, COO of CTC and President of CTC Cable. About Jiangsu New Far East Cable Corporation: Jiangsu New Far East Cable Corporation and its subsidiary, Far East Composite Technology Company, are located in Yixing City, Jiangsu, China. Jiangsu New Far East is one of China's leading manufacturers of electrical transmission and distribution cable, which it sells to China's regional power grids through 200 local distributors. About CTC: Composite Technology Corporation, based in Irvine, California, USA develops, manufactures and sells innovative high performance electrical transmission and renewable energy generation products through its subsidiaries: -- CTC Cable Corporation produces composite rod for use in its patented ACCC (aluminum conductor composite core) conductors, which are "high efficiency conductors" for use in electrical transmission grid systems. ACCC conductors demonstrate less electricity line losses when compared with conventional conductors. When deployed in place of conventional conductors on existing systems, the higher efficiency of ACCC conductors enable power generators to reduce the amount of power they must generate while still delivering the same power to the customers. They have also demonstrated significant savings in upgrade capital costs and operating expenses when substituted for other conductors. ACCC conductors enable grid operators to reduce blackouts and brownouts, providing a 'reserve electrical capacity' by operating at higher temperatures without significant thermal sag of the lines. ACCC conductors are an innovative economical solution for reconductoring power lines, constructing new lines and crossing large spans. ACCC composite rod is delivered to qualified conductor manufacturers worldwide for local ACCC conductor production and resale into local markets. -- DeWind Inc., designs, produces, and sells the DeWind series of wind energy turbines including the new D8.2 model rated at 2 megawatts (MW) available in both 50Hz and 60Hz; the D8 model rated at 2 MW available in 50Hz; and the D6 model rated at 1.25 MW available in 50Hz. The new D8.2, which has been operating since early 2007 at Cuxhaven, Germany, utilizes the advanced WinDrive(R) hydrodynamic torque converter developed by Voith AG with a synchronous AC generator that is able to connect directly to the grid at high voltage without the use of power conversion electronics. During the 3rd quarter of 2007, a 60Hz version will be installed at a site in the USA for certification. In late 2007, the first D8.2 turbines are to be assembled at TECO Westinghouse Motor Company in Texas, which will supply turbines for our North and South American customers.
