ADDING 10 MEGAWATTS TO RENEWABLE ENERGY PORTFOLIO


TAHOE, Calif., (December 9, 2019) - Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC announced today that its recently constructed Turquoise Solar Facility has been brought online, adding 10 megawatts of solar to the utility's renewable energy portfolio. With the new facility producing at full capacity, Liberty Utilities, serving the greater Lake Tahoe area, increases its total solar generation to 60 megawatts, or approximately 30 percent of customers' total annual energy consumption.
Located off Interstate 80, just east of Sparks, Nev., the Turquoise Solar Facility is comprised of 160,500 First Solar panels. In February 2017, Liberty Utilities took its first step toward its goal of 100 percent renewable energy with the launch of its first-ever solar generation facility, the 50MW Luning Solar Facility.
"Liberty Utilities is committed to clean and renewable power generation," said Travis Johnson, Vice President of Operations for Liberty Utilities. "The addition of the Turquoise Solar Facility brings us one step closer to our goal of providing 100 percent renewable energy."
Liberty Utilities anticipates additional renewable energy projects to support Liberty Utilities' goal to provide 100 percent renewable energy to its customers.
"Liberty Utilities and our parent company, Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp., are unequivocally committed to adopting a sustainable energy source for current and future generations," said Chris Alario, President of Liberty Utilities' California operations. "We intend to be one of the first electric utilities in the country to support our customers' energy consumption needs using 100 percent renewable sources."

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements included in this news release may constitute ''forward-looking information'' within the meaning of applicable securities laws in each of the provinces of Canada and the respective policies, regulations and rules under such laws and ''forward-looking statements'' within the meaning of applicable securities laws in the United States (collectively, ''forward-looking statements"). The words "will", "expects", "intends", "anticipates" and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Liberty Utilities' future renewable energy generation projects. These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they rely upon assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Liberty Utilities cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Material risk factors include those set out in the most recent annual and interim Management's Discussion and Analysis and most recent Annual Information Form of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp., filed with securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States. Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of their dates.
