Pacific Blue Energy Corp. Provides Update on Acquisition of Gila Bend Property

PHOENIX, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Pacific Blue Energy Corp. (OTCBB: PBEC), a publicly traded developer of renewable energy projects, today announced that an option for the purchase of 100 acres in the town of Gila Bend in Maricopa County, Arizona has been extended to December 10, 2010 from the original closing date of September 10, 2010.

When the sale is final, PBEC plans to take advantage of the town's favorable support for renewable energy by building a utility-scale solar energy project. That support, which was previously expressed by members of the Gila Bend Town Council in a past news release, will hopefully provide an opportunity for PBEC to fast-track the permitting process.

"This land will be an important part of PBEC's portfolio," says PBEC CEO Joel Franklin. "With Gila Bend's commitment to the solar industry, PBEC is interested in capitalizing on the opportunity to expand its ability to deliver renewable energy to the region."

In order to secure the extension on the purchase of the 100 acres, PBEC had to cancel the option on the 707 acres adjacent to that property. However, the Company's intention remains to purchase and develop all 807 acres.
