NativeEnergy Launches Green-e Certified Sales with RenewUS.org campaign

CHARLOTTE, VT (April 20, 2006) - NativeEnergy announced today that its new CoolWattssm program is now available and being offered as the offset program of choice for the national RenewUS campaign launched this week on www.RenewUS.org.

The RenewUS campaign is intended to engage consumers to rally to purchase clean energy to help clean our nation's energy supply to avert the impending climate crisis. NativeEnergy 's CoolWatts service allows individuals to green-up their electricity purchases by supporting new wind farms that reduce the burning of coal and other fossil fuels that would otherwise be required. By displacing the need to burn these fuels, new wind farms help reduce global warming pollution.

"We are very proud to add Green-e certified Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) products to our portfolio of renewable energy solutions, and to have the exciting, energizing RenewUS campaign to help drive support for CoolWatts, our 100% New Wind energy service," says President & CEO Tom Boucher. "We recognize that demand for renewable energy has many faces, and we are pleased to offer the best variety of solutions available in the market. Everyone who wants to play a role in creating a more positive energy future should visit RenewUS.org or NativeEnergy.com, watch the 4 minute film - and then take action."

NativeEnergy launched operations in 2001, and both pioneered and built the market for its patent-pending Future RECs model, which enables its customers to directly finance construction of specific new renewable generators. Building on its leading market presence and reputation for integrity, NativeEnergy is now expanding its services to support operating new wind farms through Green-e certified RECs sales across the country.

The RenewUS.org campaign was developed by Stonyfield Farm, Clean Air-Cool Planet, and Earth Day Network; the website and flash movie were produced by acclaimed sustainability and clean technology writer and strategist, Joel Makower. The short movie, 'Climate: A Crisis Averted', was created by Free Range Graphics, the creative force behind the wildly popular "Meatrix" and "Store Wars" internet movies. NativeEnergy was chosen as the provider of offsets for the campaign.

With Green-e certification, NativeEnergy's CoolWattssm RECs enable its customers to earn LEED points for certification by the U.S. Green Building Council, or to use the Green-e logo on their product labels.

NativeEnergy's REC Futures services have also attracted high profile customers. With Music Mattersâ CoolToursm, performing artists such as Dave Matthews Band, REM, Jack Johnson and Guster have offset their tours. With ReelCoolsm, major motion pictures and TV series such as Warner Bros Pictures / Participant Productions 'Syriana' and Paramount Pictures / Participant Productions soon-to-be-released Al Gore global warming documentary, 'An Inconvenient Truth' , and MTV's Trippin' have offset their productions. With WindBuilderssm and CoolBusinesssm, leading businesses and organizations have offset their electricity and other energy use, including Ben & Jerry's Homemade, Aveda Corporation, Clif Bar, Stonyfield Farm, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Interface, Inc., The Timberland Company, Ceres, Seventh Generation, NRDC, World Wildlife Fund, StopGlobalWarming.org, Co-op America, the Clinton Global Initiative and the Environmental Media Association.

Along with Green-e certified RECs and its Climate Neutral Network certified Future RECs, NativeEnergy offers domestic certified emissions reductions (CERs) and international CERs that meet Kyoto CDM Gold Standard. NativeEnergy is a Co-op America Business partner, a Coalition Member of Ceres, and member of Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility.
