CPEU News BluePoint Energy Signs Two Additional Discount Energy Purchase Agreements with Macy's East

EL DORADO HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chapeau, Inc. d/b/a BluePoint Energy, Inc. (OTC BB: CPEU) today announced that it has signed two additional Discount Energy Purchase Agreements with the Macy’s East Division of Federated Retail Holdings, Inc. (Macy’s East), a wholly owned subsidiary of Federated Department Stores, Inc. (NYSE: FD). These projects represent approximately $5.2 million in additional project revenue to BluePoint in 2007.

These Discount Energy Purchase Agreements were executed pursuant to the form of a master agreement signed earlier this year with Macy’s East, which operates about 190 stores in 12 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Under these additional contracts with Macy’s, BluePoint Energy, Inc. will permit, engineer, and install BluePoint EnviroGen™ Energy Modules - Powered by Cummins - in the Macy’s store located in White Plains, New York as well as the Macy’s Roosevelt Field Mall store located in Garden City, New York. These projects mark the next of several installments of BluePoint’s newly designed, environmentally responsible, continuous-duty combined chilling, heat and power (CCHP) modules. As previously reported, a number of additional Macy’s store locations have been earmarked and are undergoing pre-contract finalization, including the storied Herald Square flagship store located in New York City. These contract announcements are expected shortly.

Guy A. Archbold, Chief Executive Officer of BluePoint Energy said, “We are exceedingly pleased with these agreements on a number of fronts. First, they demonstrate Macy’s continued confidence in our EnviroGen™ Energy Modules employing state-of-the-art environmentally responsible energy sources. Second, these agreements validate our strategic marketing approach of executing forms of master contracts to substantially reduce the contracting cycle (from site assessment through execution of discount energy purchase agreement) for subsequent contracts. Lastly, we believe these agreements reaffirm our contention that our initial form of master agreement with Macy’s, a historic retail operation with locations throughout the US, presents BluePoint with a significant number of near-term opportunities.”

Archbold continued, “The addition of these two additional discount energy purchase agreements under the Macy’s East master agreement offers further proof that BluePoint Energy can provide economical onsite energy to end-users in an environmentally responsible fashion. We fully expect more such agreements to be signed in the coming months, not only with Macy’s East, but also as a consequence of our master discount energy purchase agreements with both Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Starwood Vacation Ownership, Inc., as well as under master agreements currently in negotiation with other prominent entities in the retail, hospitality and healthcare industries.”
