EVEN YEHUDA, Israel, September 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Bluesphere Corp. (OTCBB: BLSP) (the "Company" or "Bluesphere"), a clean energy company that develops, manages and owns waste-to-energy projects, announced today it is rapidly executing on its strategy to acquire fully operational waste-to-energy facilities in select global markets. The Company has just signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire seven such facilities in Italy.
Subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence, Bluesphere will purchase up to 100% of the seller's rights, title and interest to seven anaerobic digestion facilities in Italy. The due diligence period is up to 60 days. The facilities currently being evaluated under the LOI have long term agreements with local utilities that are purchasing electricity from the plants. Based on due diligence conducted to date, collectively the plants are producing very high EBITDA, are expected to have an internal rate of return (IRR) of greater than 25%, and if acquired, would generate strong immediate cash for Bluesphere.
"This marks a huge milestone for our Company. We have swiftly implemented our intended strategy of creating near-term revenues and positive cash flows through acquisition," stated Bluesphere CEO Shlomi Palas. "In addition there are 9 more 1 megawatt facilities in Italy with at least one year of operating history that we are currently evaluating for our portfolio."
Bluesphere had announced on June 11 that it is pursuing a strategy to acquire fully operational, revenue generating waste-to-energy facilities in select global markets. The Company is augmenting its current build-own-operate model with an acquirer-own-operate strategy in order to create immediate revenue and cash flow generation, putting the Company on a short term path to profitability.
