Located in Albany, the regional office is a testament to the firm’s commitment to the New York solar and energy storage markets.</span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span face="" style="font-family: runda, sans-serif;">CS Energy is already a leader in New York’s renewable energy industry, with more than 120 megawatts (MW) installed across the state. Recent projects include a 27 MW facility in Dryden, a 24 MW project in Spencer, and an 18 MW project in Norwich. The company expects to be playing a major role in New York’s renewable energy transition and is gearing up to support the massive growth of solar and energy storage installations throughout the state. As the state continues to safely reopen, CS Energy expects to build approximately 130 MW of community solar and large scale solar projects in the state—an ambitious goal strengthened by the central location of the new office.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span face="" style="font-family: runda, sans-serif;">“We are redoubling our commitment to New York,” said Matthew Skidmore, CEO of CS Energy. “This office will allow us to grow quickly and recruit more local workers.

CS Energy was recently ranked the #1 solar installation company in New York by Solar Power World. </span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span face="" style="font-family: runda, sans-serif;">Establishing the office isn’t the only growth the company is doing in New York: CS Energy will help restart the local economy by increasing its local workforce by more than 300 percent this year. The company has already established relationships with universities and developed internship programs in order to fast track the recruitment process.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span face="" style="font-family: runda, sans-serif;">“We have a long-term strategy in New York,” Skidmore added. “Every step we’ve taken in the state has been designed to set ourselves up for success over the next decade as we help New York achieve it’s clean energy goals.”</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span face="" style="font-family: runda, sans-serif;"><span>“Under Governor Cuomo’s leadership, New York’s renewable energy policies are helping to attract new businesses to the state and proving to be a significant economic driver and job creator across as we work to rebuild our economy,” said Doreen M.

At 32.7 MWdc, the portfolio will generate enough renewable energy to power <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk41661697">more than 5,000 </a>homes each year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.2667px;">The Texas portfolio is comprised of three separate properties: a 14.5 MW project located in Brooks County; a 7.3 MW site in McLennan County; and a 10.9 MW project in Menard County. 500 miles separate the three sites, which were developed simultaneously. The Brooks County project utilizes Sunfolding racking and the other two sites utilize Array Technologies trackers. CS Energy provided engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for all three sites and successfully managed the project schedules to ensure the portfolio was delivered on time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Designing and constructing the Amesbury solar plus storage system required experience in building projects within the allowable limits of the cap design, as well as with the allowable limits of the Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Post-Closure Use Permit (PCUP). The firm’s advanced capabilities and extensive onsite overview enabled the project to meet critical PCUP requirements, including not exceeding the 7-psi ground pressure limit for all activities on the landfill cap. Each construction activity, delivery, and the battery energy storage system was evaluated and designed by CS Energy and approved by an independent engineer for DEP compliance. The result of these efforts is a well-designed solar-plus-storage system that will generate clean, renewable energy (from a previously unusable site) for decades to come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i>This Project provides 28.5MW of clean, renewable energy </i><br />
<br />
<b>Edison, NJ, May 18, 2020</b> – CS Energy, LLC, a leading integrated energy firm that designs and builds optimized projects in the solar, storage and emerging energy industries, has successfully completed the largest solar project in New Jersey. The project owner, Ben Moreell Solar Farm, LLC and Department of the Navy (DON) executed a lease for approximately 170 acres of underutilized land for the purpose of constructing a 28.5 MW ground-mount project located at Naval Weapons Station Earle (NWS Earle) in Tinton Falls. CS Energy designed, procured and installed the power plant, creating a custom worksite that allowed for a streamlined construction process while still maintaining the base’s high security standards. CS Energy’s team of local workers safely installed an impressive 4,000 solar panels each day at the height of construction. Currently, the second phase of the project is underway. As in-kind consideration, CS Energy will install a separate behind the meter solar system that will connect directly to the NWS Earle utility grid, providing DON with renewable energy to support operations.<br />
<br />
As part of the Navy’s energy resiliency initiative, the Ben Moreell Solar Farm on NWS Earle was established. Owned by Vitol Green Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of global energy and commodities company Vitol Holdings B.V., the solar project will be tied directly to the local utility grid. In case of emergency, and with further investment, the clean power plant can be modified to power the base, which has a combined workforce of more than 1,500 civilian, military and contractor personnel.<br />
<br />
“With close to 1 GW of solar capacity installed worldwide, CS Energy is a proven partner for delivering solar power projects that maximize use of the terrain while offering high levels of output,” said R. Andrew de Pass, Head of Renewables for Vitol Inc. “Their attention to safety, efficiency and customer service enabled us to deliver the NWS Earle project in record time.”<br />
<br />
CS Energy’s efficiency stems in part from its deep experience with designing and building solar and storage projects on U.S. military bases. The NWS Earle plant is one of the firm’s largest; in total, CS Energy has installed more than 80 MW of solar energy projects on U.S. bases across the globe.<br />
<br />
“Having access to reliable, sustainable and renewable sources of energy, like solar power, helps our Navy improve our energy security, operational capability, strategic flexibility and resource availabilities,” said Capt. Pierre A. Fuller, Commanding Officer, NWS Earle. “We are equally pleased this is the largest solar project in the state, to date, and it contributes to New Jersey’s Energy Master Plan.”<br />
<br />
The Ben Morrell project contributes to New Jersey’s 2020 Energy Master Plan, which aims to garner 100 percent of its energy from renewable, carbon-neutral sources by 2050. The Energy Master Plan is the first of a series of monumental steps to ensure that the state generates and manages its energy supply in a way that is consistent with economic, climate, and societal demands.<br />
<br />
“I’m proud of our team for once again safely complying with heightened military regulations and delivering a turnkey solar project,” said Matthew Skidmore, CEO of CS Energy. “We are honored to help the US Navy, Vitol, and our home state of New Jersey increase their use of solar power.”<br />

<i style="font-size: 12pt;">Solar FlexRack Heads into the Fourth Quarter
Poised for a Banner Year</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Youngstown, OH, Sept. 17th, 2019</b> – Solar FlexRack™, a division of Northern States Metals and an innovative leader in photovoltaic mounting and solar tracker solutions, announced today that the company will close over a half a gigawatt of business in 2019 with sales for the firm spanning North America. Solar FlexRack’s contracts cover the utility-scale and commercial & industrial market segments, and also include projects in landfill solar, agriculture, municipalities and community solar. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Solar FlexRack has made some significant changes to our worldwide supply chain and to internal operations that have increased our efficiencies and allowed us to cut costs. We’ve been able to pass on those savings, benefitting our customers,” said Steve Daniel, Executive Vice President of Solar FlexRack. “Those savings, along with the high quality of our products and unprecedented customer service, have led both new and repeat customers to choose Solar FlexRack for projects of increasingly larger size and scope.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The company’s solar tracker orders have soared in 2019, amounting to approximately half of the company’s annual sales. Solar FlexRack’s TDP 2.0 Solar Tracker, an economical and structurally stable tracking technology, led the field followed closely by the FlexRack Series G3-X, one of the best field-assembled fixed tilt, ground-mount racking systems available. The company also closed several milestone solar projects in 2019 that included a 105 MW project in North Carolina, a 50 MW project in Connecticut, a 28 MW project in New Jersey and 26 projects in Georgia Power’s REDI (Renewable Energy Development Initiative) Program.</div>

<b>New York, New York, Aug. 20, 2019 </b>– C2 Energy Capital, LLC, a rapidly growing investor in renewable energy and storage assets, announced the successful completion and operation anniversary of the largest community solar project in southeastern Massachusetts. The clean power generation plant is fully subscribed and is part of Middleborough Gas and Electric Department’s (MGED) Community Shared Solar Program. Working closely with the public utility, C2 Energy Capital developed, constructed and owns the 3.3 MWDC (2.7 MWAC) solar power plant located inside the city limits of the town of Lakeville. The company has over 22 community solar projects totaling more than 44 MW in operation or currently in construction in the US.<br />
<br />
“Our team embeds its high-quality control standards in every step of a solar project’s value chain, and that investment yielded a seamless launch of operations for Middleborough. MGED has foresight to deliver non-greenhouse gas emitting energy options to their customers, and they did an excellent job implementing the Community Solar Program,” said Candice Michalowicz, Co-founder and Managing Member of C2 Energy Capital.<br />
<br />
“MGED is pleased to work with developers, such as C2 Energy Capital, to increase renewable energy resources in the region,” said Jacqueline Crowley, General Manager, MGED.<br />
<br />
C2 Energy Capital’s community solar project sits on 15 acres of former farmland. As a part of the MGED Community Solar Program, it allows customers who want to support locally produced clean energy, but aren’t able to install solar panels on their own home or business, the opportunity to share in the benefits of a large solar system installed within MGED’s service territory. The 340 participating customers in this MGED Solar Community project receive direct credits on their electric bills for the term of 10 years.<br />

<b>New York, New York, July 30, 2019</b> – C2 Energy Capital, LLC, a
rapidly growing investor in renewable energy and storage assets, is scaling up
its solar sheep program for vegetation maintenance after a highly successful
pilot program launched at a Jacksonville, Florida solar power generation site. The
7-MW solar project is one of the power suppliers for JEA’s SolarMax program
aimed at offering more clean energy options to its commercial customers. C2
Energy Capital expects to reduce its vegetation maintenance costs across its
land-based solar power plants through the new program. Additional benefits of
C2 Energy Capital’s solar sheep program include providing new economic
opportunities for regional sheep farmers and further lowering the company’s
carbon footprint. The company expects to rollout the new program across ten solar
projects totaling over 79 megawatts.<o:p></o:p></div>

while lowering our collective carbon footprint and overall costs, so C2 Energy
Capital’s solar sheep program fits well with our principals and goals,” said
Steve McInall, JEA, VP of Energy and Water Planning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

regional sheep farmer to control ground vegetation on the site. Between 80 and
100 sheep </span>graze the solar farm daily. The committed sheep crew work, eat
and sleep on the site 24 hours a day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Due to its more rural location, the sheep are protected by a Great
Pyrenees guardian dog who lives among the flock.<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
“In the next phase, we’ll scale up
our solar sheep program to projects covering over 300 acres in three states and
drive down ground maintenance costs. It’s a win-win situation that makes good
business sense for everyone involved,“ said Michael Howell, Director of Asset
Management for C2 Energy Capital.<o:p></o:p></div>

vegetation management through the use of wildflower plantings to limit mowing
while providing excellent pollinating habitat for insects - particularly bees
whose population decline is widely reported in the media. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

delivers emissions-free electricity that helps reduce Greenhouse Gases (GHG). GHG
are major contributors to global warming and climate change. As of 2018, there are
over 64,000 megawatts of solar installed in the US or enough solar to power a
population the size of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island combined.
The solar industry employs over 242,000 Americans and the amount of solar
installed per year has doubled almost every year since 2010. The continuous
adoption of solar energy has helped to drive down its cost and, today, solar is
one of the lower-cost energy solutions available.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b>New York, New York, May 28, 2019</b> – C2 Energy Capital, LLC, a rapidly growing investor in renewable energy and storage assets, announced today the completion of the largest solar project installed on a landfill in Tennessee. C2 Energy Capital provided financing and support services for the development and construction of the 2.7 MW solar power generation plant located just outside of the City of Somerville, TN. The solar plant was installed on a capped landfill leased from the County of Fayette.<br />
<br />
“C2 Energy Capital stepped into a challenging solar project and enabled it to stay on schedule,” said Rhea Taylor, Fayette County Mayor. “Their experience and dedication to working through the complexities of the project were notable.”<br />
<br />
Robert Turner, Administrator for the Town of Somerville, said, “Ultimately, our community is proud to be a part of the <a href="https://www.epa.gov/re-powering">RE–Powering America’s Land</a> initiative, with counties across the US siting renewable energy projects on unproductive lands and deriving environmental and economic benefits for their communities”.
<br />
he power generated from the system will be sold to the Tennessee Valley Authority under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement. The Somerville renewable energy plant
is projected to generate enough electricity to power 333 homes and offset the same amount of carbon as 46,000 trees.

“Solar facilities installed on landfills are some of the most difficult to construct,” commented Candice Michalowicz, Co-founder and Managing Member of C2 Energy Capital, “Our team’s effort and experience in completing this project turned previously unusable land to a clean, solar power system, a tax-paying property and created jobs. We are very proud to have participated in the effort.”<br />

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><b>Youngstown, OH, May 20, 2019 </b>– Solar
FlexRack™, a division of Northern States Metals and an innovative leader in
photovoltaic mounting and solar tracker solutions, will be exhibiting at Solar
Power Southeast. The region’s largest solar and storage event will be held
May 29 – 30 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.</span><span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Solar FlexRack will be presenting information
on their industry-leading solar tracker products and project services at Booth
221. </span><span style="color: black;">More than 700 are expected to attend the
two-day event.</span> <span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The conference comes at a time
when the region is experiencing exponential growth in solar. The state of
Georgia has increased its solar footprint and moved up in ranking from 35
nationwide to the 11<sup>th</sup> state in the country today. According to the
new economic report from the NCSEA, solar can bring significant tax revenues to
counties enabling infrastructure investments in parts of states that typically
have not seen this kind of support and are in need of it.*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“<a href="https://cleanenergy.org/blog/solar-in-the-southeast-2018-annual-report-part-1/">Solar
in the Southeast Report</a> announced a forecast of 17,000 MW by 2021
indicating the next few years will bring continued growth in solar
installations in this part of the country,” said Steve Daniel, Executive Vice
President of Solar FlexRack. “With decades of experience and more than 2 GW
installed worldwide, Solar FlexRack is uniquely positioned to help solar
companies in these states with their racking and tracker needs. We look forward
to a productive conference.”<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><br />New York, New York, May 8th, 2019</b> – C2 Energy Capital, LLC announced today that it executed 46 Power Purchase Agreements and leases with Walmart Inc. to provide solar power at the retailer’s operations in five states. These agreements represent a tangible commitment by Walmart to achieve the retailer’s goal to have 50 percent of its operations powered by renewable energy by 2025. The solar installations will produce more than 65,000,000 kWh of renewable energy annually, enough energy to power nearly 5,500 homes, and are expected to supply approximately 10-60 percent of each stores’ overall electricity use. <br /><br />“Solar is a vital component of Walmart’s expanding renewable energy portfolio,” said Mark Vanderhelm, vice president of energy for Walmart Inc. “Walmart plans to tirelessly pursue renewable energy projects that are right for our customers, our business and the environment. These planned projects with C2 Energy Capital are moving us in the right direction toward our renewable energy goals.” <br /><br />This landmark commercial solar deal comes one year after Walmart chose C2 Energy Capital to install 13 solar projects in South Carolina, some of the first projects to take advantage of solar incentives in the state. The rooftop projects are all currently in operation, with the exception of a ground-mount project that is underway at a Walmart distribution center in Laurens, SC.<br /><br />“Walmart is a seasoned expert at onsite solar generation, and they have high expectations for their vendor partners. We are honored to be a part of their renewable energy program, and the important steps they are taking that will benefit the local communities and the environment,” said Candice Michalowicz, Co-founder and Managing Member of C2.<br /><b><br />ABOUT C2 ENERGY CAPITAL</b><br />C2 Energy Capital, LLC (the “Firm”) is a rapidly growing investor in renewable energy and storage assets.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3pt; margin-top: 3pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><b>New York, New York, April 23, 2019</b> – C2 Energy Capital, LLC (“C2” or the “Firm”), a rapidly growing Registered Investment Advisor which manages funds focused on distributed generation and storage, announced the completion of its 100th solar photovoltaic (“PV”) facility. The facilities managed by the Firm serve corporations, municipalities, utilities, schools and houses of worship. The total portfolio of approximately 95 megawatts (“MW”) include rooftop, carport and ground-mounted systems in 9 states. Differentiated by its management of discretionary capital and ability to execute with velocity, the Firm will continue to expand during this exciting growth period in the industry. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3pt; margin-top: 3pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 13.3333px; text-align: justify;">This significant milestone marks a proud accomplishment for the C2 team, which has grown from two partners to 20 employees. With an additional 300 MW of assets in development, the Firm’s exponential growth in just four years is a testament to the company’s ability to move quickly and produce results.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3pt; margin-top: 3pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">“The decline of installation cost and support of state-level programs for a clean-energy future create economic growth opportunities for communities and investment opportunities for funds like ours," said Candice Michalowicz, Co-founder and Managing Member of C2. “While the sector matured, the complex capitalization of these assets and safety requirements underscores the critical need for developers and investors to partner with subject-matter experts like C2 to ensure that these projects are built to last. Our decades of experience have positioned us for this very moment.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">“C2’s portfolio grew over the last four years because of relationships with developers. We believe that development is a local business, driven by boots-on-the-ground knowledge, experience, and relationships,” added Richard Dovere, Co-founder and Managing Member of C2. “The Firm is now formalizing that effort with the creation of our ‘Developer-in-Residence’ (“DiR”), which provides capital for developers to fund day-to-day overhead expenses and development costs while leveraging the brand, balance sheet and expertise from the C2 team to bring projects over the finish line.”</span></div>

The Firm is actively seeking partners with mid-to-late development stage solar, wind and storage projects who are looking to partner with capital.</span></div>
