SDC Signs Green Certificate Agreement with 3 Phases Energy, Provider of Green-e Certified Renewable Energy Resources

Raleigh, NC - August 25, 2004 - Solar Data Centers, Inc. (SDC), the only company in the world using solar energy to every aspect of an organization's Internet operations, today signed an agreement with 3 Phases Energy to power all of Solar Data Centers operations. 3 Phases will provide renewable energy to SDC using Green Certificates, an electricity credit system that provides companies with electricity delivered to the national power grid derived from renewable energy sources, instead of sourcing fossil fuels, like coal and natural gas, which produce damaging environmental pollutants. As a result of using 3 Phases' Green Certificates, all SDC powered web sites are now supported by Green-e certified renewable energy that meets stringent environmental quality and consumer protection standards.


"This agreement is another confirmation of Solar Data Centers total commitment to green energy, a cause which inspired me to establish the company," said Steve May, president and founder Solar Data Centers. "By purchasing Green Certificates, that are Green-e certified, our customers support new clean energy development, offsetting the emissions from the production of electricity. The benefits of Green Certificates are many and the premium service provided by 3 Phases will enable SDC to continue to expand our operations as we look towards opening our first independent data center in 2005."

"Our agreement with SDC is another example of the power of Green Certificates, an effective tool for facilitating cost-effective, cross-border renewable energy purchases," said Elaine Horn, 3 Phases Manager, Business and Alliance Development. "The service that SDC offers, running companies' technology infrastructure using 100% green energy, fulfills a critical leadership role in companies, showing how a company can run an efficient business while simultaneously protecting the environment."

Green Certificates:
A Green Certificate represents the environmental benefits of one megawatt-hour of renewable power delivered to the national electricity grid. By purchasing Green Certificates, companies support clean energy development and offsett the emissions from the production of electricity. As purchases of Green Certificates increase, so will the demand for additional new, clean renewable energy facilities across America.

Green Certificates are an effective way to "improve" electricity consumed, helping firms reduce greenhouse gas emissions, meet renewable energy targets and improve community relations for companies and organizations.

Key Green Certificates Benefits:
• Provide an easy way to offset pollution due to electricity usage
• Provide organizations a true "green energy" marketing claim
• Does not rely on access to a green power product from an existing utility
• Requires no change in relationship with local utilities and does not impact reliability
