WEST PALM BEACH, FL–(Marketwired – May 14, 2013) – Natural Forces Energy Solutions Pty. Ltd., (“NFES” or the “Company”), a wholly-owned South African subsidiary of Hydro Alternative Energy, Inc., (“HAE”), an emerging independent power provider (“IPP”), announced today that it has executed a Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”) with the eThekwini Municipality within the City of Durban, South Africa. This has been facilitated by the Durban Investment Promotion Agency (DIPA), with support by eThekwini’s Energy Office. The MOA provides that its purpose is to assist NFES with obtaining access to certain municipal facilities for the purposes of demonstrating NFES’ technology, and to facilitate licensing, permissions, information and assistance which may be required for NFES to demonstrate its ocean current power generation system, Oceanus(TM).

Luciano Garcia, President of NFES, stated, “Now that the Company has received the final ‘green light’ to proceed with the demonstration and testing of the Oceanus(TM) System for the Municipality of eThekwini within the Durban offshore Agulhas current, we are looking forward to demonstrating that electric energy can be produced consistently in a sustainable and environmentally sensitive manner.”

Russell Curtis, Head of the Durban Investment Promotion Agency, together with Derek Morgan, Senior Manager, eThekwini’s Energy Office, both expressed that they are extremely pleased with the final execution of the MOA and are looking forward to working closely with NFES to execute the planned demonstration of Oceanus(TM). Their stated intent is to further move the entire project forward, in partnership with local South African businesses.

Enrique Pallares, HAE’s President, expressed that working these several months with the different authorities and executives of the eThekwini Municipality has been most exciting and rewarding, adding, “The level of efficiency, cooperation and professionalism of every single person involved in this process has been outstanding.”

Mark Antonucci, CEO of HAE and NFES, also commented on the latest news received from the eThekwini Municipality, saying, “Working in South Africa and having the opportunity presented to demonstrate and test Oceanus(TM) is a tremendous milestone for us. Very few places in the world have the favorable conditions of the Agulhas Current. The eThekwini Municipality authorities have been most proactive in seeking to fulfill the Municipality’s mandate to provide electrical power generation and distribution services in a sustainable and environmentally sensitive manner. We are looking forward to the completion of this demonstration and moving forward with a 100 megawatt project being discussed for the future.”

    Hi my name is Jeffery Ambrose I live in New Orleans Louisiana area control flow in a controlled environment how much electricity can your ocean module produce. If I had 20 modules in a controlled environment how much hydroelectric could be produced is it enough to power a small or large city. I think I have an idea let me help you in achieving your goal of providing low-cost electric to everyone in the world. Renewable Electric tied into the grid that could be used with almost any water weigh anywhere flow in a controlled environment weather is water air or any other type fluid material

    • Jeffery,

      Sorry your message got tied up with Spam. Your idea is very correct but the issue with using turbines of this nature in the format you are suggesting is FERC and the permitting process of the USA. We are currently discussing the process and the new regulatory area of the USA process, with some people to see if we can get something going here. If you want to stay in touch my email is Mark@hae-usa.net
