GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Aug. 26, 2011 /CNW/ -- 
CUC Invites Proposals for Renewable Energy Generation Facilities


GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Aug. 26, 2011 /CNW/ - Caribbean Utilities
 Company, Ltd. ("CUC" or "the Company") is inviting interested parties
 to submit an Expression of Interest and Preliminary Proposal for the
 financing, construction, ownership and operation of Renewable Energy
 Generation Facilities. It is the Company's intention to accept up to 13
 megawatts ("MW") in total of grid-connected renewable energy generators
 on Grand Cayman under this invitation.


CUC has been monitoring the status of several alternative technologies
 for over a decade.  Historically the cost of these technologies has
 prohibited adoption, however with current high oil prices and
 advancement in renewable energy generation technologies, CUC believes
 that there are vendors in the market that can provide utility scale
 projects that may provide a life cycle cost savings to the consumer. 
 Renewable energy could provide several benefits to the Cayman Islands,
 including lower emissions, price stability, and perhaps lower cost. CUC
 is hoping to identify viable Renewable Energy projects by the end of
 2011. A copy of the Request for Expressions of Interest is available on
 the Company's website at www.cuc-cayman.com and can be accessed at the link below. Expressions of interest should
 be directed to Sacha Tibbetts, Manager Engineering Services.

 exclusive Electricity Transmission and Distribution Licence expiring in
 2028.  Further information is available at www.cuc-cayman.com.
