11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MicroPlanet, (MP:TSXV & MCTYF:OTC)
a clean technology, energy conservation company, announced today
that Maui Land & Pineapple Company has placed an order to
install MicroPlanet systems to save energy and reduce greenhouse
gas emissions on commercial buildings located at the Kapalua Resort
in Hawaii. The initial order for the first phase of the project is
for 14 systems and valued at approximately $350,000. Deliveries are
expected to begin in June, 2008. Maui Land & Pineapple
conducted a pilot program over a six month period to test the
effectiveness of MicroPlanet products on its commercial facilities
at the Kapalua Resort. The results of the pilot indicated the
MicroPlanet technology saved an average of 12.87% on kWh
consumption and reduced kVAR (demand) by 34.48%. The Kapalua Resort
is a 23,000-acre, master-planned community with approximately 1,200
commercial and residential buildings set amidst a working pineapple
plantation on Maui's northwest coast. "Maui Land & Pineapple
Company's commitment to energy conservation and sustainability
practices at Kapalua represents a large scale commercial
opportunity for MicroPlanet. We look forward to working with Maui
L&P at these sites and on their other buildings over the next
few years to help them meet their conservation objectives," said
Bruce Lisanti, President and CEO of MicroPlanet. "The results of
the Kapalua pilot tests and the subsequent initial commercial
order, is validation that our new commercial 3-Phase products are
being rapidly adopted to reduce energy consumption and lower
electrical bills. MicroPlanet's products are now being deployed on
a large scale by both businesses and utilities as a cost effective
way to save energy, improve power quality and reduce greenhouse
emissions," concluded Lisanti. MicroPlanet has signed multiple
pilot agreements in 2007 and 2008 with major fast food, grocery and
convenience store chains to install systems throughout the US. The
results of these pilots are showing that this technology can reduce
energy consumption in commercial environments from 5% to 12%,
without requiring customers to make any other changes in behavior
or equipment. About MicroPlanet Technology Corp. MicroPlanet's
technology helps to reduce the total amount of energy we need to
produce by significantly increasing the efficiency of the electric
grid. MicroPlanet's products dynamically manage the voltage
delivered to a business or home to optimal levels, which saves
energy, lowers electricity bills and helps reduce greenhouse
emissions. The Company's products also reduce peak period demand
and can improve utility services. In areas where substantial energy
is generated from wind and solar, MicroPlanet systems also help to
balance the voltage levels, improving the power quality for
residential and commercial users." MicroPlanet website:
