Terra Tech Subsidiary Edible Garden Awarded $300,000 Clean Energy Grant

Belvidere, July 07, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Tech’s wholly owned subsidiary Edible Garden Corp. applied for and was approved for New Jersey’s Clean Energy Pay for Performance Program.  Edible Garden Corp. will be receiving a total of approximately $300,000 over the next nine months.  The first check has been received in the amount of $21,368.40.  New Jersey's Clean Energy Program is a statewide program that offers financial incentives, programs and services for New Jersey residents, business owners and local governments to help reduce the State’s energy usage, peak demand, as well as to transform the marketplace for the next generation of energy efficiency technologies. Edible Garden has made significant investments into their New Jersey facility to increase productivity and automation while decreasing their carbon footprint and energy consumption.

“We feel fortunate that New Jersey has programs like these available to businesses that are focused on improving our environment,” said Derek Peterson, CEO Terra Tech. “With the Nevada buildout happening the grant couldn’t have come at a better time; we just received roughly $2 million in a private placement, our Equity Line will be effective in mid July, and the grant is especially welcome as it a form of non dilutive financing for the company that we can utilize in continuing to improve our operations, efficiencies and margins.”
