Composite Technology Announces ACCC Projects in Indonesia

IRVINE, CA, Oct 08 (MARKET WIRE) --
Composite Technology Corporation (CTC) (OTCBB: CPTC) is pleased to
announce two new orders for ACCC(TM) core for its subsidiary CTC Cable
Corporation. These orders are from CTC Cable's stranding sources in
Indonesia, PT KMI Wire and Cable Tbk and PT Tranka Kabel. These projects
represent the first ACCC(TM) conductor projects that will be installed in
Indonesia.

The Angke-Ancol project, which is currently being stranded by PT Tranka
Kabel, is scheduled to be installed in late October of this year. This is
a reconductor of a double circuit 4.6 kilometers line and serves North
Jakarta City, providing electricity to commercial, residential, light
industries and recreation areas. ACCC(TM) Warsaw conductor will replace
the existing ACSR Drake to provide increased throughput.

The New Tangerang - Cengkereng Line is located in the city of Tangerang in
Banten Province. This project will be stranded by PT KMI Wire and Cable
Tbk and is for 80 kilometers of ACCC(TM) Dublin conductor. This
reconductoring project was planned to upgrade the line's current capacity
to serve the proposed Teluk Naga Coal Fired Steam Plant and to supply more
reliable power to the Cengkareng Airport. Due to the airport and
residential communities in the area, both clearance and tower height
limitations exist. ACCC Dublin conductor was chosen as it was able to
offer the solution for increased capacity and reliability, without the
need to modify the existing tower structures.

"CTC Cable made a strong push to engage stranding operations in specific
geographic regions. In spite of recent catastrophic events in Indonesia we
believe the region is still a strong growth market. The PT Tranka Kabel
and PT KMI Wire and Cable Tbk are both first rate operations that will
serve the region and provide economical stranding of ACCC(TM) core for
other markets as well. These programs highlight our success in driving
ACCC(TM) conductor into new markets," commented Marv Sepe, President of
CTC Cable and Chief Operating Officer of CTC.

About CTC:

Composite Technology Corporation, based in Irvine, California, USA,
develops, manufactures and sells innovative, high performance, energy
efficient electrical transmission conductors through its subsidiary, CTC
Cable Corporation. CTC Cable produces composite core rod for use in its
patented high efficiency ACCC* conductors, which are used in electrical
transmission and distribution grids. ACCC(TM) conductors perform with less
line losses when compared to similar diameter conventional conductors and
therefore enable power generators to reduce the amount of generation while
still delivering the same power to customers. ACCC conductors also enable
grid operators to reduce blackouts and brownouts by providing reserve
electrical capacity, since they can be operated at higher temperatures
without significant thermal line sag. The performance and longevity of
CTC's ACCC technology have been independently verified by certifying
agencies, test centers and power grids around the world and have
consistently demonstrated significant savings in upgrade capital costs and
operating expenses when substituted for traditional conductors in
reconductoring upgrades as well as new line construction. ACCC core, the
key component of ACCC conductor, is produced by CTC Cable and delivered to
licensed qualified conductor manufacturers worldwide for ACCC conductor
production and sale into local markets. Over 8000 kilometers of ACCC
conductor have been installed on five continents.
