GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. and ten tequila distilleries, members of the largest and most profitable export industry in Mexico, announced that they are becoming more energy efficient and environmentally sustainable as mandated by recently enacted regulations. The distilleries have entered into agreements with GreenHouse Soluciones, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southern California-based Greenhouse Holdings, Inc., a leading provider of energy efficiency and sustainable infrastructure. The agreements are expected to generate over $8 million in revenues for GreenHouse in 2011.

GreenHouse will remove approximately 600 tons of solid agave waste per day from its initial ten Tequila customers, which represents approximately 33% of the total agave waste from the area. The Company estimates it will receive approximately $1.7 million annually in revenues based on the initial ten customers. In addition, GreenHouse plans to convert the waste to compost and sell fertilizer to local farmers which can in turn be used to protect the soil of the region. The company estimates they will be able to produce approximately 120,000 tons of compost fertilizer per year, which equates to approximately $6.5 million in additional revenues for GreenHouse.

“Within the Tequila industry, there are significant opportunities to boost the local economy through job development and the improvement of the environment while increasing the quality of the Tequila,” said Congressman Gustavo Macias Zambrano. “I encourage the collaboration between GreenHouse and these agencies to develop a long-term, sustainable plan for the region.”

Also, GRHU has been engaged to implement Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Automated Demand Response (Auto-DR) program for three commercial/industrial customers. The customers include the PepsiCo® Carson bottling facility, Sigma Plating and CRP MB Studio, LLC. GreenHouse estimates that the projects will generate $500,000 in revenue to the company. “Participants in SCE’s Auto-DR program are in 100% control of the actual curtailment measures implemented on an event-to-event basis. By utilizing an Auto-DR system, participants will have real-time usage information and the technical means to reduce electric consumption during costly peak energy periods when the demand is highest,” stated Robert Davis, Vice President of Energy Services at GreenHouse.

In addition, GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. has been engaged to implement Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Automated Demand Response (Auto-DR) program for two industrial customers. The customers include Apogee Containers, Inc. and MGE UPS, LLC. GreenHouse estimates that the projects will generate $400,000 in revenue for GreenHouse, based upon approximately 1,300 kW or 1.3 MW of electricity demand reduction and infrastructure improvements from the engagements.

GreenHouse target markets for energy efficiency solutions include residential, commercial and industrial, as well as government and military markets. In addition, the company develops, designs and constructs rapidly deployable, sustainable infrastructure primarily for use in disaster relief and security in austere regions.
