IRVINE, Calif., 2013-02-13 08:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Universal Bioenergy Inc., (OTCMarkets:UBRG), a publicly traded independent
diversified energy company, in its plans for growth and expansion, announced
that its subsidiary NDR Energy Group, received final approval for its 'Power
Marketing License' from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in a
move that positions the Company to engage in the buying and selling of
wholesale and retail electricity. The sales of electricity is projected to
generate an estimated $96 million to $384 million in additional revenue for the
Company.
NDR Energy Group intends to market and distribute bulk wholesale and retail
electric power to its current electric utility customer base, and its expanding
customer base which will include federal and state agencies, the U.S. military,
cities, municipalities and large commercial and industrial companies. NDR
Energy will be able to offer integrated energy solutions that will assist its
growing customer base to buy, manage and use electricity and natural gas.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, is an independent agency
that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and
oil. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 gave FERC additional responsibilities as
outlined in FERC's Top Initiatives and updated Strategic Plan. As part of that
responsibility, FERC also regulates the transmission and wholesale sales of
electricity in interstate commerce.
Ken Harris, NDR Energy Group's President stated: 'As the CEO of NDR Energy
Group, I am pleased to announce that, today, NDR was approved for its FERC
license by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The Commission today
issued an Order finding that NDR meets the criteria as a Category1
power/electricity seller and designated NDR as a power/electricity seller in
the United States. This is an absolutely huge development as it presents a
fantastic new vertical for our company. In light of our existing contract with
a power supplier and our current relationships with utilities and end-users,
this is clearly a benchmark day for our company. We look forward to the
significant growth of our power/electricity division and meeting the vigorous
compliance requirements of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for years
to come.'
Vince M. Guest, Universal's President states, 'This is truly a historic moment
in our Company's history. This is a game changer for the Company, as we
formally launch our new commercial-industrial electric power division. This
expansion of our business into electric power sales should generate greater
revenues, improved margins and profits, and position us to create one of the
largest independent diversified energy companies in the U.S.'
