808 Renewable Energy owns and operates on-site cogeneration systems that produce energy in the form of electricity, heat, hot water and chilled water under long-term contracts with its commercial, institutional and light industrial customers.  Its business is to own the equipment that is located at customers' facilities and to sell the energy produced by these systems to the customers on a long-term contractual basis. 

To date, the company's focus has been on acquiring existing combined heat and power ("CHP") plants.  However, its objective is to grow revenue by pursuing the following areas: continuing acquisition of new or existing CHP or other renewable energy projects, providing maintenance service, monitoring, and operations support to existing CHP plants not owned by the company, and sales of CHP and other renewable energy plants to interested third parties.
