GreenHunter Mesquite Lake, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GreenHunter Energy, Inc. (Amex: GRH) announced today the execution of a new twenty year power sales agreement for 100% of the net output of the GreenHunter Mesquite Lake biomass-fired power plant located in Southern California. In conjunction with the new power sales agreement, the Company announced the execution of an Interconnection Agreement between GreenHunter Mesquite Lake and the Imperial Irrigation District for 100% of the net output of the biomass-fired power plant.
The power sales agreement between the IID and GreenHunter Mesquite Lake provides for the purchase of up to twenty-seven megawatts of net electrical output over a twenty year period for a fixed price escalating annually.
