Blue Earth and Hareon Solar Technology Co., Ltd Jointly Develop a 497 KW Solar PV Project in Hawaii

HENDERSON, NV--(Marketwire - December 12, 2012) - Blue Earth, Inc. (BBLU) a renewable energy and energy efficiency services company, announced today that it signed a joint development agreement with Hareon Solar Technology Co., Ltd ("Hareon Solar") to jointly fund and develop a 497 KW ground mounted solar PV system, the "Waianae Project," on the island of Oahu, with Hareon being the controlling member. Blue Earth and Hareon Solar will jointly own the project initially with equity transaction possibility between the members.

The joint development agreement realizes the first of seven Hawaii projects acquired by Blue Earth and co-developed with a local developer, as previously announced. The engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") work will be performed by Xnergy, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Earth, Inc. The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2013.

A special purpose entity ("SPE") called Waianae PV-02, LLV has been established for this project. The SPE has a fully executed power purchase agreement ("PPA") with Hawaiian Electric Company ("HECO"). The solar PV system will provide electricity directly to the power grid. The agreement between the SPE and HECO is for twenty years. The project will employ local trade people during construction and help to achieve the state of Hawaii's renewable energy objectives.

"We are delighted with this joint development relationship. Hareon Solar is a leading company in the global solar PV industry and has an abundance of solar related resources," stated Johnny R. Thomas, CEO of Blue Earth, Inc. "Partnering with Hareon Solar represents another important strategic development for Blue Earth and we look forward to developing, implementing and participating in the ownership of several solar PV projects. This fits Blue Earth's goal to own solar PV projects to implement its recurring revenue business model."
