DETROIT, MI - February 24, 2011 - New Generation Power Michigan, LLC announced today that it is bidding 100 MW of solar renewable energy and 100 MW of wind renewable energy projects for a total of 200 MW of renewable energy projects for Detroit Edison Company's RFP. The projects are estimated to cost between $650 and $700 million dollars and will bring green investment and quality jobs to Michigan.


The New Generation Power Michigan Team includes the following major members:
• New Generation Power is the prime contractor and manages the renewable energy system
• Patriot Solar will provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction and racking materials for PV solar projects
• Martifer Solar USA will provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction for PV solar projects

"We are excited to have such an extraordinary team," said Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria, President of New
Generation Power. "Our team recognizes the initiative launched by DTE Energy and Detroit Edison to expand the renewable energy space in Michigan, and we will provide cutting-edge, world-class photovoltaic solar power and wind generation systems to Detroit Edison and their customers."

A portion of the projects' profits will go Starr Commonwealth to enhance their mission of providing positive environments where children flourish through programs for at-risk youth in Michigan, Ohio and nationally. The New Generation Power Michigan team will also provide internships, learning opportunities and employment for Starr Commonwealth youth.

"This collaboration presents significant opportunities for the people of south central Michigan, and we are particularly excited about the potential opportunities it would create for the young people served by Starr Commonwealth," said Martin L. Mitchell, Starr Commonwealth President and CEO.

The projects are located in and around Albion, Michigan and will be able to generate enough electricity to power over 28,500 homes and reduce carbon dioxide emissions at a rate of 283,000 tons annually, equivalent to the emissions from over 47,000 cars.

New Generation Power Michigan partnered with Michigan based and Michigan affiliated companies to utilize local resources to create and retain jobs for the Michigan work force. New Generation Power Michigan estimates that approximately 500 jobs will either be saved or created in the Albion market alone as well as thousands of other jobs across the country, including design services and manufacturing.

"Again, we locked up the funding, we'll break ground this fall and put hundreds of Michigan construction workers back on the job, " said Michael Pontarelli, Senior Vice President of Environmental Development.

New Generation Power is also currently building an up to 62 MW Rockford Solar Project, the largest PV solar development in the Midwest and one of the largest in the United States.

Albion, Michigan-based Patriot Solar Group brings innovation and expertise in engineering and manufacturing solar trackers and mounts and will provide engineering, procurement and construction and supply tracking and mounting materials for PV solar projects.

"I am extremely proud to be a vital member of this outstanding team that New Generation has assembled. This project would display the urgency with bringing new and innovated jobs to Michigan," said President of Patriot Solar Group, Jeff Mathie. "Being that Patriot's manufacturing facility is located here in Albion, MI, this gives our team the advantage of low shipping costs and higher Michigan content of locally manufactured goods than any other company."

Martifer Solar, a subsidiary of Martifer SGPS, has installed over 100MW of solar worldwide and will bring demonstrated performance to providing engineering, procurement, and construction for the projects.

"Martifer is very excited to be part of an opportunity that would not only generate job growth, but would also provide the people of Michigan a substantial amount of renewable energy for many years to come," said Raffi Agopian, CEO of Martifer Solar USA, Inc.

Windemuller will bring extensive experience in wind renewable system development and will provide engineering, procurement and construction for wind generation projects.

"Windemuller Electric is very please and proud to be associated with such a credible and dynamic group of forward thinking renewable energy companies," said Jim Rose, Vice President of Windemuller Electric, Inc.

New Generation Power Michigan Team will stimulate the economy, create jobs and provide clean energy as mandated by Section 1603 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide - the ultimate solution for fast and easy installation of the rail-less RockIt racking system on composition shingle roofs. Smart Slide conforms to UL 441 and TAS 100 (A)-95 for wind and wind-driven rain, providing a super-strong watertight seal that is achieved through compression, in most cases without the need for additional sealant. The waterproofing sealant is embedded deep into the granules of the shingle, thanks to the integrated flexible foam layer that provides cushioning. This ensures a secure fit that conforms to any architectural-style shingle. With UltraGrip Technology™, you can rely on a secure installation, as it absorbs the movement created by thermal expansion and contraction. The pre-installed sealing pads are compatible with all composition shingle roofs, making it the ideal choice, even in ambient temperatures as low as 5 degrees.
