Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. CEO Responds to Frequently Asked Downdraft Tower Questions

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Sept. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET, the "Company") Ronald W. Pickett, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We have had a continual influx of questions and inquiries about our Downdraft Tower. Below are some of the more pertinent that I would like to address and try to clarify for everyone."

Q. Given recent news that the Downdraft Tower could be lowered in height from 3,000 feet tall to 2,250 feet, how much electricity does the Company estimate the shorter tower could produce?

A. After evaluating the actual atmospheric and local weather data in the San Luis, Arizona as well as the San Luis, Mexico area, the Company estimates that the 2,250 foot Tower in that region should produce over 700 megawatt hours of saleable energy over an average day, 365 days a year. The actual output can range from as low as 300 megawatt hours to a cap of 1,200 megawatt hours.

Q. In terms of US dollars, how much would 700 megawatt hours equate to?

A. That depends, of course, on the terms of the contract or contracts to sell the power. Using the estimate of 0.11/kilowatt hour, which roughly equates to the avoided cost in California, an average hourly output 24/7/365 could generate approximately $700,000,000 in gross annual revenues.

Q. If a Tower project generated $700 million in gross annual sales, how much of that would flow to CWET?

A. That question is not possible to answer at this time. CWET plans to establish separate ventures for each Tower project and return as much value to our shareholders as it can from each individual situation. The Company plans to charge development fees and licensing fees to each project venture to enable the use of CWET know how and patents. The Company also intends to retain ownership percentages in each project. Strong power purchase agreements combined with performance guarantees and pre-determined costs should lead to more favorable financing terms. The better the overall projected returns, the better position the Company will be in when it is time to negotiate terms with potential equity partners.

Q. Does CWET plan to sell stock to finance these Tower projects?

A. No. CWET plans to evaluate sites, determine the size Tower appropriate for the site, and calculate the best power out-put design for the Tower. That proprietary data combined with construction techniques and power plant design, in accordance with the Company business plan, can enable partnerships and ventures to foster tower projects in which the Company can be a significant financial participant.
