SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
GWS Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: GWSC), an alternative energy company developing
renewable energy solutions, announced today that it has begun vetting German
technology partners for the development of alternative energy installations and
facilities in Mexico and Central America. 

"There is currently significant volatility in the global photovoltaic market, as
Germany and other major European countries have slashed their feed-in tariffs
for solar power, while facing increased competition from Chinese solar panel
manufacturers," said GWS Technologies Chairman Eric Johnson. "But this provides
an opportunity to introduce more efficient technologies, such as CSP
(concentrated solar power), from Germany to the Mexican and Central American
markets. German firms are on the cutting edge of this emerging technology and
have begun investing in this growing market," he added. 

Mexico has tremendous concentrated solar power potential, as solar radiation
levels in most parts of the country are among the highest in the world. The
Mexican population is growing, energy demand is rising, and electricity prices
are comparatively high, generally about US10 cents/KWh more than in the United
States. However, to date Mexico has almost no concentrated solar power (CSP)
production for a number of reasons generic to the power sector as a whole,
including lack of credit and effective financial incentives. 

However, some industry experts point to the recent Renewable Energy and Energy
Transition Financing Law (known by its Spanish acronym, LAERFTE) as evidence
that this is about to change. Passed in November 2008, the legislation calls for
a national framework to finance and regulate the renewables market and
consolidate a series of existing fiscal, financial and contractual incentives
for renewable technologies. The new legislation should also lead to greater
clarity regarding site permitting regulations and grid interconnection standards
for solar projects. 

The Mexican government is optimistic, citing a `green fund` set up as part of
the renewables legislation which could raise up to $100 million USD. About 20
percent of those funds would be allocated to industrial scale renewable
projects, including CSP.
