the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) has formally approved three of its
initial Capacity Allocation Exempt (CAE) Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

approximately 150 large, utility scale, rooftop solar energy projects the
Company has been working on over the past two years.

long time by the side of our patient shareholders and channel partners
for these initial contracts to be processed. They represent a long chain
of coming progress for AWSL and its stakeholders... progress that will
help elevate the Company to new levels of future success."
