Blue Earth and DCO Energy, LLC to Build $17.4 Million Central Energy Center for a New Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada

Blue Earth, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBLU) (“Company”) a renewable/alternative energy and energy efficiency services company, announced today that the Company and DCO Energy, LLC (“DCO”) will form a limited liability company (“LLC”) that will design and build a $17.4M Central Energy Center that will provide critical energy and thermal needs for a new hotel and casino (“Resort”) in Las Vegas, NV.

The LLC will design, build and operate the project. The LLC is expected to receive long term recurring revenues through an Energy Sales Agreement with the Resort.

The Resort leadership has indicated, “We are delighted with our relationship with DCO and Blue Earth and their ability to reduce our operating costs and increase profitability, while providing a state of the art Central Energy Center that will allow for significant resource conservation.”

Mr. Frank DiCola, P.E. and CEO of DCO Energy stated, “DCO is happy to be working with Blue Earth and their group of engineers to build this Central Energy Center that is forecasted to significantly reduce the energy and operational costs of the Resort. We are pleased that this project is the first of many projects we expect to complete with Blue Earth and its CHP team.”

Dr. Johnny Thomas, CEO of Blue Earth stated, “Blue Earth is excited to work with DCO to build state of the art on site generation facilities for a new market vertical thus expanding our recurring revenue model beyond our initial meat processing customer. We look forward to developing, implementing and participating in the ownership of several projects with DCO.”
