ECO-GEN Energy Solutions: Tahiti Story Chapter j 20 419

THE TAHITI SOLUTION

ECO-GEN Energy is creating a solution for Tahiti and the world as demand
grows. Modern life would flounder without lighting, air-conditioning, com-
puters, and the untold number of devices and services that rely on electricity.
Pollution, climate change, toxic waste, and disasters require increased use of
renewable energy as a solution. Where energy is available, the economy
naturally will grow.
By forming 20-year Power Production Special Purpose Entities, which
receive income from the sale of electricity (kWh) via PPA with the local utility
internationally, ECO-GEN helps create jobs domestically and in foreign
countries, stabilizing power for the masses. We are also committed to returning
10% of the profits to local charities. This solution can be easily repeated for
many island and developing nations. No one technology can solve all the
problems, but by working together, all the existing diesel-powered electricity
generation can be replaced with new, clean, green, renewable energy.
