Lockheed Martin Buys Renewable Energy Certificates on the World Green Exchange

February 4, 2009, Worcester, MA – World Energy Solutions, Inc. (TSX: XWE), an operator of online exchanges for energy and green commodities, today announced Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) acquired Green-e renewable energy certificates (RECs) via auction on the World Green Exchange®.

World Energy conducted the online auction in three tranches: one for Green-e reporting year 2009, one for 2010, and one for 2009-2010. Each of the bidders submitted a commitment bid price to ensure it could compete within Lockheed Martin’s stated REC ceiling price.

“The auction was successful on many fronts,” said Phil Adams, President and COO of World Energy. “The event brought together a who’s who of U.S. Green-e REC suppliers, spurred record bidding activity, provided exceptional price discovery, and delivered an attractive REC purchase price. In sum, this event highlights the power of the World Green Exchange and exemplifies best practices in green commodity procurement.”
