25 October 2006 -- WOW Energy, Inc has signed a contract with Siemens Building Technologies, Inc to supply a WOWGen renewable energy power plant to produce 6 MW of electrical power for the Dyess Air Force Base (AFB) in Abilene, Texas, US. The WOWGenTM power plant will be a part of Siemens' $39 million dollar contract with Dyess AFB to provide electricity from a waste-to-energy plant through gasification of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW).

The WOWGen power plant converts heat into electricity using the company's combined cycle turbo-expander organic rankine cycle (ORC) system. The WOWGen power plant will convert the heat exiting the gasifier to electricity to create useful energy from MSW collected from the Dyess AFB and the City of Abilene. When complete, the AFB will be able to remove itself from the off-base electrical grid and still maintain all operations.

In a visit to Dyess AFB in August this year, Alexander Karsner, U.S. Assistant Secretary of Energy stated: "We intend to build on the Air Force's leadership so that we can proliferate and accelerate uses of these clean renewable and energy efficient technologies across the nation."
