MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / July 16, 2019 / Global PoleTrusion Group Corp. (OTC PINK: GPGC) has signed a lease agreement for 5 hectares of land for the Barú-1 Biomass Power Plant which will be located in the town of Progreso in the Chiriqui region of Panama. Construction for the power plant is planned to begin once the environmental, construction and operation permits have been finalized.

With an initial capacity of 5 megawatts, the Barú-1 plant is expected to provide gross annual revenues of $3.5 million USD with operating expenses of $1.1 million. GPGC previously announced that its Panamanian subsidiary, Los Santos Energy Corp., obtained a 10-year power purchase agreement for the biomass power plant which will use palm oil extraction residues to generate electricity.

The land is in close proximity to both the grid substation and the oil extraction facilities that will provide the biomass used for generating electricity, thereby keeping transportation costs and its carbon footprint as low as possible.

"We are pleased to have found an ideal location for the Barú-1 plant. We have been approached to use this biomass technology to generate and distribute electricity in other countries. This project will be our showcase and stepping stone to a huge market," said Ramiro Guerrero, President and CEO of GPGC.

GPGC has recently released updated financial disclosures and is planning to be audited as it prepares to become a fully reporting company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company will also apply to be listed on the NASDAQ exchange once revenues are generated from their projects in Panama and Africa.
