Renewable Energy Systems Canada Inc. (RES Canada), a leader in the
development and construction of renewable energy projects in Canada, is
pleased to announce the completion of SunE Rutley, Ontario's first
large-scale solar Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) project. Ontario's FIT program was
established in 2009 by the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) to stimulate
investment in renewable energy projects in the province.

Located in Ingleside, Ontario, Rutley Solar is a 10 megawatt (MW) project
developed by SunEdison Canada. The project is comprised of 40,436 solar
panels covering approximately 100 acres. Electricity produced by SunE Rutley
will feed into the Hydro One Network (HONI).

"RES Canada is proud to have constructed Ontario's first large-scale solar
FIT project," said Peter Clibbon, Vice President of RES Canada. "Rutley
Solar demonstrates RES Canada's robust construction capabilities, and puts a
spotlight on the significant knowledge and expertise we offer to our
clients."

Construction of SunE Rutley began in August 2011 and was completed in early
March 2012. Despite the significant challenges of winter construction, RES
Canada successfully completed the project on schedule.

"SunEdison is proud to deliver the first utility-scale PV project under the
FIT program and proud of the work accomplished with RES Canada," stated
Michael Dilworth, General Manager, SunEdison Canada. "Together along with
the OPA, we are changing the way people think about renewable energy by
creating sustainable jobs, stimulating local economies and by providing
clean affordable solar energy solutions to the citizens of Ontario."
