Argan, Inc.’s Wholly Owned Subsidiary Gemma Power Systems to Partner With Invenergy Wind Management, LLC For Wind Farm Projects

June 05, 2008 -- Rockville, MD - Argan, Inc. (AMEX: AGX) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Gemma Power Systems, has entered into a partnership with Invenergy Wind Management LLC, for the design and construction of wind farms located from the Mid-Western region of the United States into Canada. The partners will each own 50% of a new company named Gemma Renewable Power, LLC.

Gemma Renewable Power LLC will annually provide engineering, procurement and construction services for more than an estimated 300MW of wind farms including design and construction of roads, foundations, and electrical collection system, as well as the erection of towers, turbines and blades. The new venture shall also assist with some of the ongoing servicing of the wind farms.

Invenergy Wind LLC is executing one of the largest wind energy development programs in the industry. Invenergy Wind’s focus is on the development and long-term ownership and operation of utility scale wind projects ranging in size from 25 to 500 MW. Invenergy Wind currently has in excess of 50 projects in active development in the United States, Canada and Europe and has secured 1,500 MW of wind turbines from General Electric for deliveries in 2008 and 2009.

Gemma Power Systems is a leading power plant designer and builder with expertise in the rapidly growing alternative fuel industry. Gemma provides a full range of development, consulting, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and maintenance services. A substantial amount of Gemma’s backlog, including this joint venture, is geared toward the renewable energy sector. In total, Gemma has managed the engineering, procurement and construction of more than 9,000 MW of power-generating capacity.

Rainer Bosselmann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Argan, stated, “This joint venture not only enhances our positioning in the alternative energy space, but also provides a new potential revenue stream. Gemma’s project management and construction capabilities and decades of industry experience are well suited to the requirements of this project and we look forward to working with Invenergy.”

“Invenergy is very excited about entering into this agreement with Gemma,” Pat West, Sr. Vice President of Technical Services for Invenergy stated. “This joint venture greatly adds to our construction and maintenance capabilities and further enhances our position as a leading developer and operator of wind generation.”
