Vanguard Energy Partners Helps Morristown, NJ, Launch Its First Solar Energy
Project

Solar-Powered Wastewater Treatment Plant Will Offset Nearly Half of its
Electrical Consumption and Save Taxpayers $90,000 a Year

BRANCHBURG, N.J., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Vanguard Energy Partners today
announced the completion of a 578kW solar photovoltaic system at the
Morristown Wastewater Treatment Plant. The project will be inaugurated with a
ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow, May 28, at 1 p.m. on the facility grounds
located at 80 East Hanover Avenue in Cedar Knolls.

Vanguard, a leader in the design and installation of large scale solar
installations, teamed with Ferriera Construction on the project which features
multiple ground and roof-mounted arrays, including an innovative solar canopy
structure that was erected over a filtration tank to maximize space. The
installation consists of 2,886 Kyocera Solar and BP Solar Modules. Site work,
civil engineering and steel erection were provided by Ferreira Construction
Company, Inc.

The solar installation will produce approximately 635,800 kWh or 40% of the
electricity needed to operate the waste water treatment plant from the clean,
renewable power of sunlight. The system is expected to save the town a minimum
$90,000 a year. The project was made possible by a $1,464,734 incentive
rebate from the New Jersey Clean Energy Program. The solar installation saves
Morristown taxpayers money by generating electricity that not only powers the
wastewater treatment plant, but also increases revenue by selling Solar
Renewal Energy Credits. The project will pay for itself in less than eight
years with energy savings and SREC revenues.

Additionally, the energy production from the plant's photovoltaic system is
the equivalent of conserving 49,318 gallons of gasoline, preserving 3 acres of
forest and taking 81 cars off the road.

"Vanguard is pleased to support the Town of Morristown's commitment to its
citizens and the environment. New Jersey has demonstrated world class
leadership with solar renewable energy and we are happy to support the state's
green economy," stated Paul Zensky, president of Vanguard Energy Partners.

Noveda Technologies' SunFlow Monitor(TM), recipient of the 2007 Market
Innovator Award by the New Jersey Clean Energy Program, will track in real
time -- via the internet -- the solar production, facility consumption and
system efficiency.

"We are pleased to join Vanguard Energy Partners in contributing to New
Jersey's renewable energy goals with installations that reflect a growing
trend," stated Steve Hill, president of Kyocera Solar, Inc.
