North Carolina Utilities Commission Selects APX Renewable Energy Tracking Infrastructure

Hoboken, NJ - February 4, 2010 - APX Inc., the leading infrastructure provider for environmental and energy markets, is pleased to announce that the North Carolina Utilities Commission has selected APX to provide registry services for the North Carolina Renewable Energy Tracking System (NC RETS). NC-RETS will track each North Carolina electric power supplier’s compliance against its individual statutory requirement, and its contribution toward the statewide aggregate requirements for energy supplied by swine and poultry waste resources. NC-RETS will also track each electric power supplier’s use of energy efficiency to meet statutory requirements.

NC-RETS will allow for the import and export of renewable energy certificates (RECs) into and out of the North American Renewables Registry™ (NAR), and similar links will be established with additional registries.

“North Carolina is pleased to select APX to create and administer the North Carolina Renewable Energy Tracking System. We believe this is a significant step in implementing North Carolina’s commitment to increasing renewable energy in the state, and we welcome the support of APX, a firm committed to assuring accuracy in tracking renewable energy generation,” said Edward S. Finley, Jr., Chairman of the North Carolina Utilities Commission.

“Renewable energy in the United States is a critical part of the new energy economy. North Carolina’s decision to track compliance with its renewable energy and energy efficiency portfolio standard through APX is further validation of the need for purpose built systems to ensure public confidence in the contribution renewable energy resources are making,” stated Brian Storms, Chairman and CEO of APX. “We are delighted to be a fundamental part of this exciting new renewable energy program.”

APX and the North Carolina Utilities Commission will be holding a public stakeholder meeting on Thursday, February 25 to discuss implementation strategy. For more information, visit the Commission’s web site, www.ncuc.net, or contact Kimberly Jones (919-733-0846 or kjones@ncuc.net).
