World Energy Solutions Gains Exclusive License to BENTEK’s Rate and Tariff Analysis Models and Libraries

Licensing Agreement provides World Energy with Unique Capabilities

June 20, 2002 - World Energy Solutions, Inc. and BENTEK announce an agreement by which World Energy has exclusive access to BENTEK’s RATEMINER, Rate and Tariff Analysis Models and Libraries. This agreement provides World Energy with a modeling capability no other on-line auction player has.

Models and Libraries Provide Market Intelligence and Help Forecast Savings

RATEMINER enables World Energy to compare the rate a customer has paid or is projected to pay with a utility’s “standard offer”. This comparison ability enables World Energy to advise clients as to the optimal contracting strategy that balances risk and savings.

“BENTEK’s capabilities are truly unique in the market. With these tools, we were able to help a large Texas client create a “price to beat”. We compared this price with the rates we generated from the reverse auction process, and projected over $7mm in savings over the life of the contract. With this analysis, our client felt comfortable locking in their rate for 3 years.” said Richard Domaleski, President of World Energy Solutions.

“We are very pleased to partner with World Energy. We had a number of auction players approach us about our solution, but in the end we felt it best to partner with the runaway leader in the on-line procurement space - World Energy.” Said Porter Bennett, President of BENTEK.
