IXEH IX Energy Holdings Inc (CE)

IX Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: IXEH), a company engaged in the development of solar power and other renewable energy solutions for the federal government and commercial markets, announced that it is teaming with Legatus6 in a procurement 100% set-aside for service-disabled, veteran-owned, small businesses (SDVOSB) to design and build a solar rooftop array at the Veterans Affairs (VA) Ann Arbor Health Care System in Michigan.

The system is part of a Veterans Affairs-wide push to use renewable energy under an order signed by President Bush in January 2007 to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 3% per year or 30% by the end of 2015.

Steve Hoffmann, CEO of IX Energy, said, "Hospitals are significant consumers of energy, with large carbon footprints, so they are a good fit for clean renewable solar power. In addition, VA hospitals are also under a broader federal mandate for government agencies to increase their consumption of renewable energy, which is creating more demand and opportunities in the market. We are pleased to work with this VA facility in its effort to increase its use of renewable energy."

Hoffmann added, "This is the first solar project we have won through our recently announced teaming agreement with Legatus6. In addition, we are seeing an increasing level of opportunities in the federal markets for facilities and agencies responding to mandates for renewable energy and reduction of their carbon footprints."

Robert Bowe, CEO of Legatus6, said, "We are pleased to have been selected to deliver this solar array to the VA medical center in Ann Arbor. The Ann Arbor VA has taken the lead in terms of its commitment to renewable energy, and as renewable energy is a core offering of Legatus6, we are looking forward to helping it achieve its energy objectives."
