| WorldWater & Power
Corp. Opens Poultry Farm Market for Solar –$500,000
System for Allen Family Foods of Delaware |
| PENNINGTON,
N.J., December 19, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) |
Project
Will Serve as Solar Study for U.S. Poultry Industry Partners Include
University of Delaware and GE Energy
WorldWater & Power
Corp. (OTC
BB:WWAT.OB-News),
developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems,
announced today that it has won a $500,000 contract from Allen
Family Foods, Inc. to build a photovoltaic (PV) system to power
an Allen poultry growout house in Laurel, Delaware. Growout
houses are highly energy dependent in taking day-old chicks
and raising them to maturity.
In
Delaware, the cost of grid electricity has increased significantly
over the past 12 months and the industry is looking to solar
as a cost effective, sustainable energy source for the future
of growout contractors throughout the U.S. The Delaware Green
Energy Program has granted $250,000 to help fund the system,
the University of Delaware will monitor the Allen project and
GE Energy, the PV panel supplier, will contribute to the project
evaluation study. Ray Angelini, Inc. (RAI) of Sewell, New Jersey
is WorldWater's installation partner.
The
poultry industry is one of the largest employers in Delaware,
with some counties having the highest concentration of growout
houses in the U.S. WorldWater's solar system will significantly
reduce Allen's electricity costs and provide backup power in
the event of grid outages to maintain the temperatures critical
to large numbers of growing chickens.
Allen
Family Foods, a third-generation family owned company, has been
in the poultry business since 1919. Today it employs over 3,000
people in Delaware, Maryland and North Carolina. Along with breeding
and hatching facilities, feed mills and processing plants, Allen
has a farming division that produces feed grains, 28 company-owned
growout farms and coordinates with 550 independent contractors
that raise chicks for Allen.
Charles
C. "Chick" Allen III, Chairman and CEO of Allen Family
Foods, commented on the project, "I was happy to have the
opportunity to collaborate on a research project that has the
potential to reduce costs for these growers. I want to do anything
I can to maintain the economic viability of the Delmarva poultry
industry."
Quentin
T. Kelly, Chairman of WorldWater & Power Corp., stated, "We
are delighted to have this opportunity to demonstrate how WorldWater & Power's
patented technology is uniquely suited to address the broad spectrum
of electrical needs that a poultry farm presents in both a cost
effective and environmentally friendly manner."
GE
Energy is one of the world's leading suppliers of power generation
and energy delivery technologies. GE Energy works in all areas
of the energy industry, including renewable resources such as
water, wind, solar and biogas. It is an industry leader in the
integrated design of solar electric systems.

Technology |
| PENNINGTON,
N.J., November 30, 2006 (BUSINESSWIRE) |
WorldWater & Power
Corp. (OTC
BB:WWAT.OB-News),
developer and marketer of proprietary high-horsepower solar systems,
and EMCORE Corporation today jointly announced that they have signed
a strategic partnership and that EMCORE has agreed to purchase
26.5% on a fully diluted basis of WorldWater for $18 million in

The investment of the remaining $4.5 million second tranche will
occur once the definitive strategic agreement is signed and certain
other conditions are met. The parties expect the execution of
the definitive strategic agreement and second closing to occur
before the end of the year. In connection with the investment,
EMCORE will also gain two seats on WorldWater's Board of Directors.
"This
strategic investment represents a shift in EMCORE's terrestrial

$2 million in 2005 to a projected $17 million for 2006."
Quentin
T. Kelly, WorldWater's Founder and Chairman, commented, "Our
technological mix is key to this strategic partnership. Concentrated
photovoltaic systems are the keys to reducing the cost per watt
of power generated. In addition, this major financing from EMCORE
will enable WorldWater to substantially increase our core business
of blending and/or replacing the electric grid with solar power
and supplying solar electric drives able to operate motors and
pumps up to 600 hp for large commercial projects, whether in
the agricultural, water utility or other industrial fields." Mr.
Kelly added, "EMCORE's $18 million investment will help
us to meet our working capital needs in expectation of achieving
major growth in revenue next year."

BB:WWAT.OB-News),
developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems,
today announced WorldWater's Project Manager, Mickey Ingles and
Cassandra Kling, Director of Business Development for the Eastern
U.S., will participate in a ribbon cutting ceremony to open a new
solar irrigation system at the Egg Harbor Township Arboretum. The
event will take place Thursday, October 5 at 11:00 AM at the Arboretum
site located at 18 School House Road, Egg Harbor Township, New
Jersey.
Engineers
from WorldWater & Power worked closely with students from
the Eagle Academy to design and build the new solar facility.
The new two-story building accommodates rooftop photovoltaic
panels and a solar electric pumping system to irrigate the
15-acre Arboretum grounds and supply water for drinking and
for the restrooms within the building. The Arboretum is considering
adding a solar powered classroom to the site and is looking
forward to further collaboration with WorldWater.
"WorldWater
and their entire crew were integral in collaborating with our
students to bring us an off-the-grid, self-contained solar powered
system, a vital component for the development of the site,''
said Bob Zentmeyer, Supervisor of Alternative Education at the
Eagle Academy. Founded in 1999 by the Egg Harbor Township School
District, the Eagle Academy serves the needs of at-risk youth,
those falling through the cracks of the conventional educational
system and dropping out of school.
After
the students worked on the building's design with WorldWater,
volunteer engineers prepared CAD drawings that conformed to building
codes. WorldWater handled the installation and supervised students
who built the braces for the solar panels and assembled the gravity-fed
stand and tank for the solar unit. "Students got a taste
of the technology and it was a real eye-opener for them, an incredible
resource of information from World Water & Power. The inspector
from the State said he has never seen anything like it,'' added
Zentmeyer.
Egg
Harbor Township, a municipality in southern New Jersey, donated
the former trash dumpsite to the Egg Harbor Environmental Commission
to provide open space for its 40,000 residents. In building the
solar installation, Eagle Academy students also collaborated
with the township's planning board, environmental commission,
the Atlantic City Municipal Utilities Authority (ACMUA) and the
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The Arboretum
Enhancement Project is funded through a grant form the Geraldine
Dodge Foundation. Telephone for the Arboretum is (609) 926-1235.

| WorldWater & Power
to Acquire ENTECH, a Pioneer in Advanced Concentrating Solar
Technology Increased Efficiency with Reduced Silicon
Solar Cell Requirements - Achieving Cost Parity with the Grid,
Using Current Technology Ready for Production |
| PENNINGTON,
N.J., July 10, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) |
WorldWater & Power
Corp. (OTC
BB:WWAT.OB-News),
developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems,
today announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI)
with ENTECH, Inc. of Keller, TX, to acquire the company upon completion
of the necessary due diligence and after obtaining appropriate
financing. ENTECH, a private company formed in 1983, is a developer
and manufacturer of advanced concentrating solar photovoltaic and
thermal technologies for terrestrial and space power applications.
ENTECH has developed record-breaking concentrator solar power systems,
supplied solar power for space missions for NASA, and installed
ground-based concentrating solar systems in North America.
With
the combined technologies of WorldWater & Power and ENTECH,
solar systems will be capable of generating and delivering
electrical and thermal energy on site at prices competitive
to retail prices without relying on rebates. ENTECH's patented
concentrator technology also allows for the installation of
massive solar "farms" with greatly reduced requirements
for solar cell materials (silicon or multi-junction) and, when
used in conjunction with WorldWater & Power's technology,
greatly reduces the reliance on rebates or other incentives
for economic installations. Due to the advantages of ENTECH's
concentrator, only 5% of the amount of silicon used in flat
plate solar modules is required by current ENTECH modules to
generate the same electrical power. For example, 50 kilowatts
of solar cells used in conventional flat plate solar modules
generates one megawatt of electrical energy using the ENTECH
modules.
Consequently,
the ENTECH technology greatly lessens the impact of the silicon
material shortage currently constricting flat plate solar panel
supply. ENTECH is also developing even more cost-effective systems
using multi-junction solar cells. ENTECH concentrators utilize
a two-axis tracker to follow the sun's position throughout the
day, maximizing energy production.
ENTECH's
technology can produce photovoltaic electricity, or thermal energy
(heat) for commercial uses such as for heating and/or air conditioning.
When applied in a combined fashion for onsite power applications,
the cost to the customer can be significantly less for electricity
generated and for BTU of heat provided versus separate competing
systems currently on the market, and can also be competitive
with current retail energy prices.
WorldWater & Power
plans to purchase ENTECH through a newly-formed, wholly-owned
subsidiary. Financing will be obtained primarily through funding
of the capital structure of the new subsidiary, and it is not
anticipated that WorldWater cash or new shares will be utilized
in the transaction. A portion of the value paid by WorldWater
will be in the form of earn-out provisions.
As
a WorldWater subsidiary, ENTECH will maintain its identity, location,
and business operations in both terrestrial and space solar energy.
ENTECH will continue to perform its highly successful contract
work for NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, and other customers,
as well as its internal R&D programs leading to improved
future products.
"Today
marks a historic moment for WorldWater," said Quentin T.
Kelly, Chairman of WorldWater & Power Corp. "In addition
to our expanding business using our proprietary AquaMax(TM) drives,
the pending acquisition of ENTECH, when completed, will give
us unmatched solar concentrator applications, enabling us to
compete on large-scale systems of one to 100 megawatts or more
that can efficiently harness the sun's power for large industrial
and municipal electricity supply. This will drive down costs
and reduce the requirements for scarce silicon, a factor now
pushing up the cost of solar PV cells and panels. We will be
able to build large-scale solar farms using a fraction of the
silicon required by conventional solar systems. In addition,
with ENTECH's proven tracking technology, the capacity factor
of our systems can be improved by up to 25%, while heat generated
via solar concentration can be captured and utilized for food
processing, HVAC or other applications."
Dr.
Walter Hesse, Chairman and CEO of ENTECH, commented, "The
combination of ENTECH's proprietary terrestrial applications
with WorldWater's patented motor drive technology will clearly
provide a superior value proposition to clients. We look forward
to working together with WorldWater & Power as soon as the
acquisition can be effected, and to continuing our state-of-the-art
developments in terrestrial solar power and space solar power
with NASA, the Department of Defense, and others, along with
building large-scale solar power applications In fact, we are
already preparing plans to bid on several multi-megawatt joint
projects." (Back to top) |

Announces School Contract Worth $850,000 with North Jersey School |
| PENNINGTON,
N.J., May 11, 2006 /PRIMEZONE/ |
WorldWater & Power
Corp. (OTC
BB:WWAT.OB-News),
developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems,
today announced the signing of a contract with the Gerrard Berman

a third party financing entity for the next ten years at a discounted
rate, 10% below their electric utility rate.
By
accepting WorldWater's Alternative Clean Energy Services (ACES)
plan, the school is guaranteed to save money over a 10-year
period, as the solar electricity will provide approximately
50% of the school's power needs. At the end of the contract
term, the school can buy the system at a discounted rate and
save additional money. The school will remain connected to
the electric grid and will receive power from the solar rooftop
unit along with the electric utility. WorldWater & Power's
technology will ensure automatic and seamless integration between
both power sources. The construction value of this project
is $850,000.
`We
have received numerous inquiries about our ACES plan, and this
contract represents the second award in just two weeks - following

other successful renewable energy projects to New Jersey.''
In
New Jersey, customers of electrical utilities can generate their
own on-site solar power and receive kilowatt-hour for kilowatt-hour
"net metering'' credits for the power they return to the utility
company. Many buildings in New Jersey are well suited for solar
installations because they usually have large, flat roofs where
solar panels can be installed to optimize solar energy collection
- turning an empty area into a revenue-producing asset. With
WorldWater & Power's ACES plan, the customer assumes no risks,
no start-up costs and no membership fees. The ACES plan guarantees
the customer savings from the first day of service and every
day thereafter for a minimum of 10 years. At the end of that
term, the customer has the option of continuing to buy solar
power at a discounted rate or buying the solar system at a reduced

graduates being accepted by colleges and universities. The school
exceeds the graduation requirements of the Archdiocese of Newark
and the State of New Jersey. Under the present administration,
enrollment has increased by 35% in the high school over the past
3 years. During that time, several renovation projects have been
completed to enhance the pool, student center, computer lab,
auditorium, chapel, main office, library and conference rooms. (Back to top) |

| WorldWater & Power
Corp. Signs Contract with Eagle Academy for Solar Power Installation
for Arboretum Enhancement Project At-Risk
Youth to Learn Workplace Readiness Skills Building Solar Powered
Irrigation System |
| PENNINGTON,
N.J., April 27, 2006 /PRIMEZONE/ |
WorldWater & Power
Corp. (OTC
BB:WWAT.OB-News),
developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems,
today announced the signing of a contract with the Eagle Academy
of Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. The contract calls for WorldWater
to provide engineering, materials and supervision to assist at-risk
youths in building a solar powered water pump to supply drinking
water and irrigation at a 14-acre arboretum preservation site in
Egg Harbor Township. This project is being funded by a grant from
the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, which provides grants
for solar energy projects in New Jersey.
Quentin
T. Kelly, Chairman of WorldWater & Power Corp. commented
on the signing. "These students will learn about solar power,
gain valuable technical skills and help protect the environment
with renewable energy through a team effort. New Jersey is
fast becoming one of the solar energy capitals of the world.
As noted earlier, WorldWater & Power recently signed a
contract for a solar installation at the Liberty Science Center,
the most visited science museum in New Jersey. Our industry
will need more solar engineers and technicians, and the students
at the Eagle Academy will get a valuable, practical education
in solar electricity.''
In
1999, the Eagle Academy was founded by the Egg Harbor Township
School District to serve the varied and unique needs of at risk
youth, those falling through the cracks of the conventional educational
system and dropping out of school. Since that time, the Academy
has helped a large number of students graduate with a diploma.
Much of this was accomplished with hands-on learning through
community service projects.
Egg
Harbor Township, a municipality in southern New Jersey, donated
the site to the Egg Harbor Environmental Commission to provide
open space for its 40,000 residents. In building the solar installation,
Eagle Academy students will collaborate with the township's planning
board, environmental commission, the Atlantic City Municipal
Utilities Authority (ACMUA) and the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection. The Arboretum Enhancement Project is
funded through a grant form the Geraldine Dodge Foundation.
Cassandra
Kling, Director of Business Development, Eastern U.S., stated,
"We are so pleased to be able to partner with the school on
this ambitious project. We look forward to helping the community
with solar options, just as we do throughout New Jersey and the
world.'' (Back to top) |

| WorldWater & Power
Corp. Signs $295,000 Contract to Provide Solar Technology to
Voorhees Township Public Schools Rooftop
Mounted Solar Unit at Middle School Will Sharply Reduce Operating
Expenses |
| PENNINGTON,
N.J., April 25, 2006 /PRIMEZONE/ |
WorldWater & Power
Corp. (OTC
BB:WWAT.OB-News),
developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems,
today announced the signing of a $295,301 contract to provide design,
engineering and solar equipment for the Voorhees Township Public
Schools in Voorhees, New Jersey. The primary contractor for the
project is Ray Angelini, Inc. (RAI) of Sewell, New Jersey. Construction
will begin immediately for the installation of photovoltaic panel
array on the roof of the Voorhees Middle School on Hollyoak Drive.
WorldWater's patented electronics will automatically control power
delivery to the school and manage the net metering of surplus electricity
back to the utility to earn renewable energy credits.
Quentin
T. Kelly, Chairman of WorldWater & Power Corp. commented
on the signing. "This is our first solar installation for
a school in New Jersey. We are highly optimistic that more
school boards will take advantage of the generous rebates from
New Jersey's Clean Energy Program that pay for about 50% of
the solar equipment and installation. In addition, the school
will be earning energy credits currently valued at $0.22 per
kilowatt-hour while showing the community that solar power
is a clean, highly cost-effective alternative to skyrocketing
energy costs.''
Chris
Sherring, WorldWater's Project Manager, added, "School buildings
are ideal candidates for solar installations. They usually have
very large flat roofs that are not shaded by trees. Solar panel
arrays are installed so they are non-penetrating to the roof
structure and do not compromise waterproofing. The Voorhees'
school will be generating solar power 'year round, but when it's
closed during the hottest summer months, it will be earning very
large renewable energy credits by sending solar generated electricity
back to the utility company. This will sharply reduce their overall
annual operating expenses.''
Camden
County's Voorhees Township has had a population increase to more
than 28,000 people over the past ten years. Median family income
of the Township is one of the highest in South Jersey.
