Notes to Editors

About Renewable Energy Holdings plc

Renewable Energy Holdings ("REH") is an international company established to be an investor in and operator of both proven and innovative renewable energy technologies.

REH owns two operational wind farm sites in Germany, Kesfeld (32.5MW) and Kirf (8MW). In addition, REH is at various stages of development of further wind farm sites in Poland and Wales.

REH owns a methane Landfill Gas Project in Powys, Wales which is at an early stage of gas collection, currently producing at 1MW and which is expected to increase as the landfill matures.

CETO is REH's innovative wave power technology. It is the first wave power converter to sit on the seabed, where it is invisible, safe from storms and ocean forces, and self contained. Unlike other wave energy technologies that require undersea grids and costly marine qualified plant, CETO requires only a small diameter pipe to carry high pressure seawater ashore to either a turbine to produce electricity, or to a reverse osmosis filter to produce fresh water. CETO is currently deployed off Fremantle, Western Australia undergoing commercial testing.

The Directors and executive team of REH have extensive experience in both the conventional and renewable energy sectors, both in the UK and overseas, and through their experience have built a broad international network of relationships with individuals, companies, governments and lobby groups.

The Company was incorporated in the Isle of Man on 8 October 2004 and listed on the London Stock Exchange's AIM Market in February 2005.
