SASKPOWER AND NRGREEN SIGN NEW ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERRED POWER CONTRACTS

Released on August 23, 2006

SaskPower today announced it has signed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with NRGreen Power Limited Partnership for three new projects selected during the second phase of the Environmentally Preferred Power (EPP) program. Under the new PPAs, SaskPower will purchase approximately 15.3 megawatts of electricity from heat-recovery projects to be built at Alliance Pipeline Limited compressor stations located near Alameda, Estlin and Loreburn, Saskatchewan.

"Investment, innovation and jobs are the building blocks for a green and prosperous economy," Minister responsible for SaskPower John Nilson said. "The EPP program is a great example of how SaskPower is working with the private sector to meet the province's growing energy needs while reducing our impact on the environment."

"Innovation and new technology are what brought Alliance Pipeline Limited Partnership into service six years ago and they are critical to NRGreen's environmental power business model today," NRGreen Power President and CEO Murray Birch said. "We are once again pleased to be working with SaskPower on their Environmentally Preferred Power initiative. Generating electricity from waste heat simply makes good environmental sense."

In-service dates for the new projects are tentatively scheduled between early and mid-2008. Each site will require up to six months of construction employing approximately 30 tradespeople at each site and will contribute in excess of $2 million to the local economy - mostly through construction services contracts.

"The EPP program has already taught us a great deal about how to work with independent power producers to develop smaller-scale generation options that produce no new greenhouse gas emissions," SaskPower President and CEO Pat Youzwa said. "It is also significant in that it provides SaskPower with the generation capacity and time needed to evaluate options before making decisions on larger projects."

The EPP program, is part of the Green Power Portfolio Strategy. The strategy was designed to ensure that all of Saskatchewan's new electricity needs until 2010 are met from environmentally friendly sources, whose operations do not add to greenhouse gas emissions.
