GWS Technologies, Inc. Announces Project Manager for Alternative Energy Projects

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GWS Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: GWSC) an alternative energy company developing renewable energy solutions, announced today that it has retained Gus Shouse as its Project Manager for development of the company’s planned solar farms and other alternative energy projects.

“Mr. Shouse brings us incredible knowledge, expertise and experience in project management, design and construction of photovoltaic solar systems, wind turbine installations, and other renewable energy technologies,” said GWS’ President and CEO Richard Reincke. “He has a proven track record for managing large-scale power generation projects, bringing them in on-time and under budget.”

“The Interstate 10 corridor between Buckeye and the California state line has some of the best solar land in the world, and GWS and its partners have projects planned squarely in this prime zone,” Mr. Shouse said, citing new rules that require utilities to generate more power from renewable resources: 15 percent in Arizona by 2025 and 33 percent in California by 2020. “When you factor in state and federal subsidies, and the billions in economic stimulus money earmarked for solar power, I predict GWS has a very bright future.”

Among his other achievements in the electrical industry, in 2005-2007 he managed the construction of a 31,000 square foot structure and 400 kW photovoltaic system for Timberland Manufacturing in Ontario, California; an 800 kW on-site cogeneration and heat recovery system for Morgan Stanley’s 21-story building in Glendale, California; a transitional power system for the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; a 1.2 MW on-site cogeneration facility for the United States Post Office Distribution facility in San Bernardino, California; and a 17 acre methane recovery facility at the SWACO (Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio) landfill, installing a 70 kW micro-turbine site and providing engineering assistance for a bio-fuel plant.
