These two initial projects, Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas North and South, represent approximately $1.9 million in revenue to BluePoint Energy, Inc. in calendar 2006.

BluePoint Energy Inc. CEO, Guy A.

These initial projects with Starwood will utilize our newly developed, proprietary, continuous duty Lean-One(R) CHP Modules employing Cummins state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible diesel prime movers in both 225 kW and 500 kW iterations. It is very clear that Cummins West's superb reputation for reliability and the highest quality of service and maintenance in the Hawaiian Islands and elsewhere was a major factor in allowing these initial projects to move forward with Starwood."

Archbold continued, "These initial contracts further validate our corporate mission to offer reliable, efficient, economic, and ultra-clean onsite power to our target industry sectors utilizing our proprietary Discount Energy Purchase agreements which provide end-users such as Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide the benefits of environmentally responsible and highly economic onsite energy without expending capital that may be more effectively deployed in their core businesses.
