How Ontario and international community will benefit from Renewable 
Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership initiative

(Ottawa, Canada, August 10, 2007)   The Ontario government announced 
today that Ontario will be the first Canadian province to join the 
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP).

Stephen Koch (pronounced 'cook'), part of REEEP's North American 
Advisory Council, is the Executive Director of NAIMA Canada, a 
founding partner of REEEP.

REEEP is an active, multi-stakeholder global partnership that 
facilitates policy, regulatory, business and financing initiatives 
for developing the markets for renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Since its inception, several Canadian companies have been involved in 
REEEP projects across India, Brazil and Africa.  These companies 
currently account for 10% of REEEP's projects worldwide and more than 
20% of the project budget.
