Raser Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:RZ), an energy technology company, announced today that it and its wholly owned subsidiary Lightning Dock Geothermal HI-01, LLC (LDG) have signed an agreement with Evergreen-FE Lightning Dock, LLC (“Evergreen-FE”), a collaboration between the FE Clean Energy Group, a group of funds focused on investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, and Evergreen Clean Energy, LLC to fund the resource development of the Company’s Lightning Dock Geothermal Project in Animas County, New Mexico.

The agreement contemplates that Evergreen-FE will invest $15.3 million in LDG to finance the development of the Lightning Dock Geothermal Project in exchange for a 51% interest in LDG and that Raser will develop and manage the project, subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements satisfactory to the parties. To facilitate the continuing resource development of the Lightning Dock Geothermal Project while definitive documents are being completed, the agreement provides for an initial investment in the form of loans of up to approximately $2 million to LDG to fund the continued resource development of the project. The loans will be secured by a first priority lien on certain LDG equipment. Upon, and subject to, execution of definitive documents governing Evergreen-FE's equity investment in LDG , the loan balance will be credited towards the purchase price payable by Evergreen-FE for its interest in LDG.

George Sorenson, Chairman of FE Clean Energy Group, commented, “We are excited to move forward with Raser and believe the Lightning Dock project will be a successful project providing clean, renewable energy to residents in Phoenix, Arizona.”

Raser recently re-entered a well (TFD 55-7) at Lightning Dock that was drilled in 1984 and was later abandoned. Initial test results from the well are encouraging and indicate geothermal water temperatures greater than 300 degrees Fahrenheit with favorable chemical properties.

LDG is in advanced discussions with equipment manufacturers to provide binary cycle generators for the Lightning Dock project. LDG anticipates negotiating a turnkey, fixed price agreement for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the project. It is contemplated that the EPC contractor will provide construction financing for the project’s generating facility.

Dean Rostrom, Principal of Evergreen Clean Energy added, “We are working on the construction and financing arrangements and anticipate moving towards conclusion over the next several weeks. The Lightning Dock project is moving along as planned and we look forward to a successful project.”

Raser has a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Salt River Project to sell renewable energy from the Lightning Dock Project into Phoenix, Arizona. When complete, the proposed project is expected to deliver up to 15 MW of geothermal power.
