Companies Team to Help Customers Save Money on Energy Procurement,
Capitalize on Impending Changes in Pennsylvania Electricity Rates

West Chester, PA and Worcester, MA – August 11, 2009 – World Energy Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: XWES; TSX: XWE), an operator of online exchanges for energy and green commodities, today announced a channel partnership with Commercial Utility Consultants (CUC). The companies have teamed to help Pennsylvania businesses take advantage of newly opened electricity markets created by the impending January 1, 2010 PPL rate cap expiration and those set for the PECO, Met-Ed and Penelec service territories in 2011.

Under the agreement, CUC, which specializes in utility rate and tariff analysis for Pennsylvania industrial manufacturers and commercial real estate entities, will help its customers secure new energy contracts using World Energy’s online procurement platform, process and support services, moving away from paper-based purchases. World Energy’s vast supplier network, RFP expertise and online auction technology bring added market intelligence, liquidity and competition to customer energy procurement events, key to helping Pennsylvania firms maximize their opportunity in the new electricity rate framework.

“As experts with more than three decades of experience in Pennsylvania energy markets, we see a significant, strategic opportunity to deliver cost-savings to Pennsylvania businesses based on the new PPL electricity rate structure,” said John McGillian, Vice President at Commercial Utility Consultants. “World Energy’s track record of delivering highly-competitive, cost-savings events for customers both here in Pennsylvania and across the U.S. make them a strategic asset to our customers. As an added benefit, their platform simplifies how we manage our book of business, providing a central system for maintaining leads, market intelligence, supplier and customer relations, and settlement.”

Added Phil Adams, President of World Energy: “Wherever energy markets are opening up and presenting real opportunities to bring in competitive energy supply, World Energy is there and looking for quality partners like CUC. We know from running thousands of successful pricing events that when suppliers compete for a customer’s business, the customer wins. This is the dynamic World Energy is already bringing to a growing number of Pennsylvania energy buyers and that we are looking to extend in the coming months behind PPL and, shortly thereafter, behind PECO, Met-Ed and Penelec.”
