World Energy Names David Bat Senior Vice President of Sales

January 31, 2007. Worcester, MA. World Energy Solutions, Inc. (TSX: XWE) announced today that David Bat has been named senior vice president of sales. Bat brings over 20 years of diversified energy experience to World Energy, including working with commercial, industrial and government customers along with aggregators, brokers and consultants.

Before joining World Energy, Bat served as vice president and general manager for Constellation New Energy, where he led the Texas retail business unit to become the third largest commercial and industrial (C&I) electricity provider in ERCOT. Prior to Constellation, Bat led the development of Chevron Energy Solutions for Chevron Corporation, in which he built a supply-side consulting business to serve commercial, industrial and government/institution customers.

"I see my new role with World Energy as an extension of my commitment to the deregulated marketplace, driving further efficiencies into the market both to reduce supplier acquisition costs and to deliver lower energy prices for customers," said Bat. "I also see the World Energy exchange as the platform of choice for brokers, consultants, demand side firms, utilities and other wholesale players looking for a proven procurement solution that also supports Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. The World Energy Exchange has executed transactions worth over $2 billion in electricity, natural gas, fuels and emissions credits and has over 200 registered suppliers, creating what I believe is the premier platform for the space."
