OAKVILLE, ONTARIO, November 27, 2011 - Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. ("APUC") (TSX: AQN) is pleased to announce that Algonquin Power Co. ("APCo"), APUC's power generation subsidiary, has entered into a share purchase agreement with EffiSolar Energy Corporation ("EffiSolar"), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cornwall Solar Inc. ("Cornwall Solar"), based upon achievement of specific milestones and subject to approval by the Ontario Power Authority. Cornwall Solar owns the rights to develop a 10 MWac solar project located near Cornwall, Ontario (the "Project"). In addition to the Project, APCo has acquired an option to acquire 10 additional Ontario based solar projects ("FIT Pipeline"). Projects in the FIT Pipeline have submitted Feed-in-Tarriff applications for an additional 100MWac.

The Project has been granted an Ontario Feed-in-Tarriff contract by the Ontario Power Authority, with a 20 year term and a rate of $443/MWhr, resulting in expected initial annual revenues of approximately $6.2 million. The Project contemplates the use of a ground-mounted PV array system, with expected annual generation of approximately 13,400 MWh, enough to provide electricity to approximately 1,000 homes.

Following the completion of all regulatory submissions and approvals, construction of the project is expected to begin in the second half of 2012, with a Commercial Operation Date estimated in early 2013. The Project is being developed on two parcels of land totaling approximately 138 acres.

Total capital cost of the project is targeted at approximately $45 million, which amount includes the consideration to be paid for the acquisition of the Project. Funding for the project will be arranged and announced when all required permitting and all other pre-construction conditions have been satisfied.

"We have been actively pursuing the expansion of our renewable energy portfolio into the solar sector and are very pleased with the announcement of this first solar project", commented Ian Robertson, Chief Executive Officer of APUC. "This acquisition reinforces our strategic focus on continued investment in renewable energy in North America, and will add a stable and predictable source of earnings and cash flow to our power generation fleet."

The acquisition is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur by the end of 2011.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Announces 2011 Third Quarter Financial Results

OAKVILLE, ONTARIO, November 10, 2011 - Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (TSX: AQN), today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, with results showing increased revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") and net earnings compared to the previous year.

Financial Highlights:

• For the third quarter of 2011, revenue was $66.0 million as compared to $44.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. The increase in revenue over 2010 is primarily the result of a subsidiary of Liberty Utilities Co. ("Liberty Utilities") acquiring a California-based electricity distribution utility and related generation assets ("CalPeco") at the beginning of 2011, the effect of increased hydrologic resources compared to the comparable period in 2010, and revenue increases from rate case approvals for Liberty Utilities' rate regulated water businesses. For the first nine months of 2011, APUC generated revenue of $204.6 million as compared to $131.9 million in the first nine months of 2010.
• Adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") was $25.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $17.7 million in the third quarter of 2010. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily related to the acquisition of CalPeco, revenue increases from rate case approvals in Liberty Utilities' rate regulated businesses, and improved hydrology at Algonquin Power Co.'s ("APCo") renewable energy facilities. APUC generated Adjusted EBITDA of $80.9 million for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to $54.3 million for the first nine months of 2010.
• APUC reported net earnings in the third quarter of 2011 of $19.6 million or $0.16 per share as compared to net earnings of $1.3 million or $0.01 per share for the third quarter of 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, APUC reported net earnings of $31.9 million or $0.29 per share as compared to $2.3 million or $0.02 per share for the first nine months of 2010.
• APUC reported adjusted net earnings of $21.4 million or $0.18 per share in Q3 2011 as compared to adjusted net earnings of $1.2 million or $0.01 per share in Q3 2010. APUC reported adjusted net earnings of $34.9 million or $0.31 per share for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to adjusted net earnings of $4.3 million or $0.05 per share for the first nine months of 2010.

• In the third quarter of 2011, APCo's Maritime region experienced hydrologic resources significantly higher than long-term averages, resulting in electrical energy production which was approximately 166% above production forecast based on long-term average resources, and the Quebec, New York and New England regions also experienced hydrologic resources higher than long-term averages, resulting in energy production between 15 - 25% above long-term averages. The Manitoba region experienced wind resources above long-term averages, producing 5% above long-term averages. The Western and Saskatchewan regions experienced hydrologic and wind resources between 5 - 8% below long-term averages and the Ontario region experienced hydrologic resources of approximately 20% below the long-term average.
• During the third quarter, the rate regulated water businesses owned by Liberty Utilities experienced revenue increases in both its water distribution and wastewater treatment business of 43% and 14% respectively. The increases are primarily due to the implementation of rate increases at several facilities in 2010.
• During the third quarter, revenue generated by CalPeco from net energy sales totalled U.S. $6.9 million. As CalPeco was acquired on January 1, 2011 there are no comparable results for 2010.
• During the quarter on July 25, 2011, APCo issued $135 million in Senior Unsecured Debentures. The net proceeds from the Senior Unsecured Debentures were used to repay the outstanding senior debt at the St. Leon wind facility and to reduce amounts outstanding under APCo's senior revolving credit facility (the "Facility"). The Senior Unsecured Debentures mature on July 25, 2018, and bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum, calculated semi-annually payable on January 25 and July 25 each year, commencing on January 25, 2012.
• On July 26, 2011, APCo announced the execution of a 25-year power purchase agreement with Manitoba Hydro in respect of a 16.5MW expansion of APCo's existing St. Leon wind energy project ("St Leon II). Permitting for the expansion project was completed in 2010 with construction having commenced in the third quarter of 2011. St. Leon II is expected to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2012 with total estimated capital costs of approximately $29.5 million. In the first full year of production following commissioning, APUC anticipates generating annual gross revenues of $3.8 million.
• On August 11, 2011, the Board of Directors of APUC approved a dividend increase of $0.02 annually bringing the total annual dividend to $0.28, paid quarterly at the rate of $0.07 per common share. This increase follows a previous dividend increase of $0.02 annually in March of this year. The dividend increase is consistent with APUC's stated strategy of delivering total shareholder return comprised of attractive current dividend yield and capital appreciation founded on increased earnings and cash flows.
• Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, APUC completed a public offering (the "Offering") of 16,879,000 common shares at a price of $5.65 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $95.3 million. The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund a portion of the investment related to previously announced growth initiatives for both Liberty Utilities and APCo to partially repay existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Responds to Press Release by Western Wind

OAKVILLE, ONTARIO, October 11, 2011 - Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. ("APUC") (TSX : AQN) expressly disavows any assertions made in the press release issued today by Western Wind Energy Corp. ("Western Wind") regarding an unsolicited offer being made by APUC for the shares of Western Wind.

In a confidential communication with the Western Wind Board of Directors, APUC provided a non-binding expression of interest in engaging in discussions with Western Wind to determine whether an opportunity exists to create shareholder value. Further, the communication was clear that any offer would only be made following completion of substantial due diligence by APUC, execution of a definitive support agreement between Western Wind and APUC and approval of the APUC Board; none of which have been completed.

During its analysis of Western Wind based on publicly available information, APUC has held discussions with a number of Western Wind's largest shareholders regarding a potential $2.50 per share offer for Western Wind and from these discussions is confident that these shareholders would be supportive of such an initiative.

It is now up to Western Wind's Board of Directors to initiate an appropriate process to provide access for any interested party to perform a due diligence review.

• During the second quarter, the regulated water businesses owned by Liberty Utilities experienced revenue increases in both its water distribution and wastewater treatment business of 32% and 11% respectively. The increases are primarily due to the implementation of rate increases at several facilities and increased customer demand compared to the same period in 2010.
• During the second quarter, revenue generated by CalPeco from net energy sales totalled U.S. $7.0 million. As CalPeco was acquired on January 1, 2011 there are no comparable results for 2010.
• On April 29, 2011, APUC announced that it had entered into a strategic investment agreement (the "Strategic Agreement") with Emera which establishes how APUC and Emera will work together to pursue specific strategic investments of mutual benefit. The Strategic Agreement builds on the strategic partnership effectively established between the two companies in April 2009. As an element of the Strategic Agreement, Emera's allowed common equity interest in APUC will be increased from 15% to 25%.
• Also on April 29, 2011, Emera agreed to sell its 49.999% direct ownership in CalPeco to Liberty Utilities, with closing of such transaction subject to regulatory approval. As consideration Emera will receive 8.211 million APUC shares in two tranches. Approximately half of the shares will be issued following regulatory approval of the CalPeco ownership transfer and the balance of the shares will be issued following completion of CalPeco's first rate case, expected to be completed in the latter half of 2012.
• On April 30, 2011, APUC and Emera announced that they entered into an agreement to jointly construct, own and operate wind energy projects in the Northeast U.S. with First Wind. First Wind has a 370 MW portfolio of wind energy projects including five operating projects and two projects near operation. These assets will become part of an operating company of which First Wind will own 51% and, Emera and APUC through a separate joint venture ("Northeast Wind"), will own 49% of the operating company. Emera will initially own 75% of Northeast Wind and APUC will own the balance. Northeast Wind will invest a total of $333 million to acquire the 49% ownership of the operating company.
• On May 13, 2011, APUC announced that Liberty Utilities had entered into an agreement with Atmos Energy Corporation ("Atmos") to acquire their regulated natural gas distribution utility assets (the "Midwest Gas Utilities") located in Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois. Total purchase price for the Midwest Gas Utilities is approximately U.S. $124 million, subject to certain working capital and other closing adjustments. Liberty Utilities expects to acquire assets for rate making purposes of approximately $112 million, representing a purchase price multiple of 1.106x of the acquired rate base.
• As at May 16, 2011 APUC had redeemed all of the issued and outstanding Series 1A Debentures in exchange for 15,201,851 shares of APUC.
• Subsequent to the end of the quarter on July 25, 2011, APCo issued $135 million in Senior Unsecured Debentures. The net proceeds from the Senior Unsecured Debentures were used to repay the outstanding AirSource Senior Debt at the St. Leon facility and to reduce amounts outstanding under APCo's senior revolving credit facility (the "Facility"). The Senior Unsecured Debentures mature on July 25, 2018, and bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum, calculated semi-annually payable on January 25 and July 25 each year, commencing on January 25, 2012.
• Subsequent to the end of the quarter on July 26, 2011, APCo announced the execution of a 25-year power purchase agreement with Manitoba Hydro in respect of a 16.5MW expansion of APCo's existing St. Leon wind energy project. Permitting for the expansion project was completed in 2010 with construction expected to commence in the third quarter of 2011. The project is expected to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2012 with total estimated capital costs of approximately $29.5 million. In the first full year of production following commissioning, APUC anticipates generating annual gross revenues of $3.8 million.

• Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was $26.9 million in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $17.9 million in the first quarter of 2010.  The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily related to the acquisition of the Caifornia Utility, and increases due to the results of the rate case approvals for revenue increases in Liberty Water.
• APUC reported net earnings in the first quarter of 2011 of $5.0 million or $0.05 per share as compared to net earnings of $3.5 million or $0.04 per share for the first quarter of 2010.
• Adjusted net earnings are utilized to report the net earnings of APUC without the effects of gains or losses on foreign exchange, foreign exchange forward contracts, and interest rate swaps as these are are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business of APUC. APUC reported adjusted net earnings of $4.5 million or $0.04 per share in Q1 2011 as compared to adjusted net earnings of $1.4 million or $0.02 per share in Q1 2010.

First Quarter Performance, Operational, and Growth Highlights:

• In the first quarter of 2011, Algonquin Power Co.’s (“APCo”) Maritime and Quebec regions experienced resources significantly higher than long-term averages, producing approximately 30% and 6% above long-term average resources, respectively.  The Western region experienced resources approximately 5% below long-term average, while the Ontario, Manitoba and New England regions experienced resources of approximately 10% below long-term averages.  The New York regions experienced results approximately 15% below long-term average resources.  APCo’s thermal division experienced a decrease in production primarily as a result of the change in the operating model at the Windsor Locks facility.
• During the first quarter, Liberty Water experienced revenue increases in both its water distribution and wastewater treatment business of 29% and 23% respectively.  The increases are primarily due to the acquisition of the Galveston facility, and the implementation of rate increases at several facilities. During 2010, Liberty Water completed rate case proceedings at nine utilities.
• On January 1, 2011, APUC announced the closing of the acquisition of the California Utility.  Emera and APUC jointly own and operate these assets through California Pacific Electric Company, LLC.  In the first operating quarter, Liberty Energy posted revenues of $22.9 million.  Liberty Energy expects to file a rate case with the California Public Utility Commission in August 2011 with new rates expected to take effect in mid 2012.
• On January 14, 2011, APUC announced that it received commitments with a syndicate of banks for a new APCo $142 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a three year term.  The renewal of the credit facility supports APUC’s operations and contributes to a strong, investment grade capital structure.
• On February 25, 2011, APUC announced that Ontario Power Authority (“OPA”) awarded a contract to the wholly owned 75 MW Amherst Island Wind Project.  The contract was awarded as part of the second round of the OPA’s Feed-in Tariff program.  The project will be developed by APCo and currently contemplates the use of industry leading wind turbine generator technology that is estimated to produce approximately 247 GWh of power annually.
• On February 28, 2011, APUC announced the achievement of commercial operation of the 26.4 MW Phase I Red Lily Wind Project (“Red Lily I”) in south-eastern Saskatchewan.  The project was completed ahead of schedule and is now successfully generating renewable power.  APUC’s commitment in Red Lily I is structured as a debt investment with total returns to APUC being a combination of interest payments and fees for ongoing operation and supervision services to the facility.  APUC retains an option to formally exchange its debt investment for a 75% equity interest in the entity which owns the facility.
• On March 3, 2011, APUC announced that the Board of Directors approved an annual dividend increase of $0.02 per common share for a total annual dividend of $0.26, paid quarterly at a rate of $0.065 per common share.  APUC’s total shareholder return proposition is based on an attractive dividend coupled with capital appreciation.  The dividend increase reflects APUC’s growing cash flows, solid earnings and attractive growth prospects.
• On March 21, 2011, APUC announced it executed an asset purchase agreement to acquire the Morse, Saskatchewan 20 MW wind energy development projects (“the Projects”). The Projects were selected by SaskPower for award of power purchase agreements in accordance with the SaskPower Green Options Partners Program in May 2010.  The Projects will be developed by APCo and are expected to be completed in late 2013.

“We recorded a strong start to 2011 as a result of the positive impact of our value consolidation and growth initiatives that we undertook during 2009 and 2010”, commented Ian Robertson, Chief Executive Officer of APUC. “We look forward to continuing this momentum of growth in earnings, cash flow and capital appreciation in 2011 from our ongoing and successful business development initiatives.”

First Wind, Algonquin and Emera announce partnership involving First Wind’s Northeast projects

Boston, MA, Oakville, and Halifax , April 30, 2011 First Wind Holdings, LLC (First Wind), (TSX – AQN): Algonquin Power and Utilities Corp. (Algonquin) and (TSX – EMA) Emera Inc. (Emera) announced today that they have entered into an agreement to jointly construct, own and operate wind energy projects in the Northeast U.S.

First Wind has a 370 Megawatt (MW) portfolio of wind energy projects in the Northeast U.S. including five operating projects and two projects near operation. These assets will become part of an operating company of which First Wind will own 51%. Emera and Algonquin are entering into a separate joint venture (Northeast Wind), which will own 49% of the operating company. Emera will initially own 75% of Northeast Wind and Algonquin will own the balance. Northeast Wind will invest a total of $333 million to acquire the 49% ownership of the operating company. This includes a $150 million loan to the operating company. The loan will be e repaid within 5 years, or convert to equity in future projects.

First Wind will work with Algonquin and Emera to grow the operating company. In addition to its ownership interest in the operating company, First Wind will serve as its managing partner and will continue to operate the projects. First Wind will continue to develop Northeast projects and once these projects meet certain eligibility criteria they will transfer to the operating company.

“This is an excellent strategic partnership that brings together the region’s leading wind company with some of the region’s leading power and utilities companies. This partnership will help bring further growth of well-sited and well-run wind energy projects in the region in the future,” said Paul Gaynor, CEO of First Wind. “This agreement will support First Wind’s plans to grow and develop and invest in new projects in the Northeast and across the country.”

“This investment is an excellent means for Algonquin to partner with Emera and expand our reach into the New England renewable energy market with a strong portfolio of attractive wind projects,” stated Ian Robertson, CEO, Algonquin. “This transaction augments Algonquin’s growth strategy and affords us the opportunity to lever our expertise alongside the First Wind development team and expand our participation with Emera in the New England ISO electricity market.”

“This investment provides Emera and Algonquin with the opportunity to partner with the largest operator of wind assets in New England,” stated Chris Huskilson, President and CEO, Emera Inc. “This partnership brings together Algonquin’s renewable generation experience, Emera’s financial capacity and marketing experience with First Wind’s development expertise and is consistent with our renewables strategy in the region.”

Emera will finance the transaction through existing credit facilities subject to lender approval.

Algonquin’s financing plans include an agreement with Emera for Emera to acquire $37 million of subscription receipts in Algonquin at a price of $5.37 per share. This provides Emera with the opportunity to increase its ownership interest in Algonquin up to 25%, subject to Algonquin shareholder approval.

The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to both Emera and Algonquin.

The transaction requires certain state and federal regulatory approvals, among others, and is expected to close by the end of the year.

The First Wind projects being transferred to the operating company are:

Maine projects:
• Mars Hill Wind, Mars Hill, ME (in commercial operation since 2007) – 42 MW
• Stetson Wind I, Danforth, ME (in commercial operation since 2009) – 57 MW
• Stetson Wind II, Danforth, ME (in commercial operation since 2010) – 26 MW
• Rollins Wind (in construction, expected completion July 2011) – 60 MW

Vermont Project:
• Sheffield Wind, Sheffield, VT (in construction, expected completion Oct. 2011) – 40 MW

New York Projects:
• Steel Winds I, Lackawanna, NY (in commercial operation since 2007) – 20 MW
• Cohocton Wind, Cohocton, NY (in commercial operation since 2009) – 125 MW

Algonquin and Emera announce a Strategic Investment Agreement and the transfer of California Utility to Algonquin

Oakville, Ontario and Halifax, Nova Scotia April 29, 2011 (TSX – AQN): Algonquin Power and Utilities Corp (Algonquin) and (TSX – EMA) Emera Inc. (Emera) announced today that they have entered into a strategic investment agreement (The Agreement) which establishes how Algonquin and Emera will work together to pursue specific strategic investments of mutual benefit. The Agreement builds on the strategic partnership effectively established between the two companies in April 2009.

The Agreement outlines “areas of pursuit” for each of Algonquin and Emera. For Algonquin, these include investment opportunities relating to unregulated renewable generation, small electric utilities and gas distribution utilities. For Emera, these include investment opportunities related to regulated renewable projects within its service territories and large electric utilities. In respect of opportunities encountered by either Algonquin or Emera that fit within the other’s business development “areas of pursuit”, they are committed to working together on such opportunities.

Consistent with the framework established by the Agreement, Emera has agreed to sell its 49.999% direct ownership in the California Pacific Electric Company (“CalPeco”) to Algonquin, subject to California regulatory approval. As consideration Emera will receive 8.211 million Algonquin shares in two tranches. Approximately half of the shares will be issued following regulatory approval of the Calpeco ownership transfer and the balance of the shares will be issued following completion of Calpeco’s first rate case which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2012.

As an element of the Agreement, Emera’s allowed common equity interest in Algonquin will be increased from 15% to 25%. Algonquin will seek shareholder approval at its upcoming annual and special general meeting currently scheduled for June 21, 2011.

“This agreement provides clarity and transparency to a business relationship which has existed between Algonquin and Emera for the past two years and is intended to maximize shareholder value for both parties by capitalizing on our respective strengths,” commented Ian Robertson, Chief Executive Officer of Algonquin. “The acquisition by Algonquin of 100% of the CalPeco utility business is consistent with these themes and builds upon the successes achieved to date between Algonquin and Emera.”

“Emera and Algonquin have worked well together since 2009,” said Chris Huskilson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Emera Inc. “Given Algonquin’s successful independent power history and expertise, it makes good sense for Emera to focus its investments in the development, ownership and operation of unregulated renewable electric generating facilities through Algonquin."

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Announces Acquisition of three Regulated Water Utility Systems by Liberty Water Co.

OAKVILLE, Ontario - April 19th, 2011 Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“APUC”) (TSX: AQN), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Liberty Water Co. (“Liberty Water”) has entered into agreements to acquire three additional regulated water utility assets in the United States. These acquisitions, Louisiana Land and Water Co. (“LLW”), Noel Water Company (“Noel”), and KMB Utilities Company (“KMB”), will add approximately 7,400 customer connections to the Liberty Water family. Total consideration for the three acquisitions is US$8.3 million.

LLW, the largest of the three utilities serving approximately 6,000 customers near Monroe, LA, and KMB located in Missouri, both own and operate regulated water distribution and waste-water collection and treatment utility systems; Noel participates solely in the regulated water distribution utility business in Missouri.

LLW, Noel, and KMB are anticipated to have net regulatory assets for rate making purposes at closing of approximately US$6.5 million, US$0.7 million, and US$0.3 million respectively, representing a consolidated purchase price multiple of net regulatory assets of approximately 1.09x. With the consent of the Louisiana regulator, LLW will file a rate case promptly after closing of the acquisition with recent rate cases in Louisiana providing return on equity of approximately 9.5-11%. At the Missouri facilities, recent rate cases have provided return on equity of 9.5% and 11.3% for Noel and KMB respectively.

“The acquisition of these attractive water and waste-water utilities businesses represents the continuation of APUC’s regulated utility growth strategy and Liberty Water’s objective to acquire assets in states with supportive regulatory environments”, commented Chief Executive Officer Ian Robertson. “These facilities, which increase Liberty Water’s customer count by approximately 10%, will be able to benefit from operation and administration synergies with our other nearby facilities in Texas and Missouri.”

Closings of the acquisitions are subject to certain conditions including state regulatory approval, and are expected to occur in the fall of 2011.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Announces Acquisition of 20 MW of Wind Development in Saskatchewan

OAKVILLE, Ontario - March 21st, 2011 Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“APUC”) (TSX: AQN) today announced it has executed an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kineticor Renewables Inc. (“Kineticor”), to acquire all of the assets related to two proposed adjacent 10 MW wind energy development projects (the “Projects”) in Saskatchewan.

The Projects were selected by SaskPower for award of power purchase agreements in accordance with the SaskPower Green Options Partners Program in May 2010. Upon SaskPower’s approval and execution of the PPAs, Kineticor will assign the PPAs to Algonquin Power Co. (“APCo”), APUC’s electric generation subsidiary. The Projects will be developed with support from Kineticor during the development phase, which is expected to be completed in late 2013.

The total annual energy production for the Projects is estimated to be 75,000 MW-hrs. While equipment selection and construction details remain to be finalized, it is expected that the capital cost to construct the Projects will be approximately $55-$60 million, inclusive of acquisition costs. The first year PPA rate is set at $101.98 per MW-hr for the first full year of operations, which APCo expects to occur in 2014, with an annual escalation provision of 2% over the expected 20 year term.

The Projects are to be constructed near Morse, Saskatchewan, approximately 180 km west of Regina and 400 km west of the Phase I Red Lily Wind Project. It is contemplated that the Projects will be situated on 1,120 acres of private lands, with additional land under lease or option in order to facilitate future expansion of the Projects.

“We are very pleased that we are able to continue to grow our wind energy footprint in the province of Saskatchewan with this latest acquisition”, commented Ian Robertson, Chief Executive Officer of APUC. “Saskatchewan has one of the best wind regimes in Canada which will once again contribute to our growing portfolio of successful wind energy projects and reinforce our strategic focus on renewable energy investment.”

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Announces 2010 Fourth Quarter and Year End Financial Results

OAKVILLE, Ontario – March 3, 2011 - Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (TSX: AQN), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010. On October 27, 2009, Algonquin Power Income Fund became a wholly owned subsidiary of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (collectively “APUC”), maintaining the same operations and business activities, but under a new corporate structure. Year-over-year results are compared to the results of Algonquin Power Income Fund in the relevant period.

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights:
• For the fourth quarter of 2010, revenue was $48.9 million as compared to $43.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in revenue over 2009 is primarily the result of the acquisition of the Tinker facility by Algonquin Power Co. (“APCo”) in Q1 2010 and increases due to the results of rate case approvals for revenue increases in Liberty Water Co. (“Liberty Water”).
• Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was $20.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to $18.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily related to the acquisition of the Tinker facility and increases due to the results of rate case approvals for revenue increases in Liberty Water.
• APUC reported net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2010 of $16.9 million or $0.18 per share as compared to a net loss of $1.4 million or $0.03 per share for the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase is primarily due to increased earnings from operating facilities and increased recoveries of income tax expense.
• Adjusted net earnings are utilized to report the net earnings of APUC without the effects of gains or losses on foreign exchange, foreign exchange forward contracts, and interest rate swaps as these are primarily non-cash items that are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business of APUC. APUC reported adjusted net earnings of $18.0 million or $0.19 per share in Q4 2010 as compared to adjusted net earnings of $11.5 million or $0.14 per share in Q4 2009.

2010 Financial Highlights:
• For the year 2010, revenue was $182.9 million as compared to $187.3 million in 2009. The decrease in revenue over 2009 is primarily the result of the impact of the stronger Canadian dollar, lower average hydrology and wind resources and the impact of the outage at the Energy-from-Waste facility.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $75.1 million in 2010 as compared to $79.4 million in 2009. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA is primarily related to lower earnings from operations resulting from lower average hydrology and wind resources and the impact of the outage at the Energy-from-Waste facility.
• For the year 2010, APUC reported net earnings of $19.6 million or $0.21 per share as compared to $31.3 million or $0.39 per share for the year 2009. The decrease in net earnings is due to increased interest expense, reduced interest dividend and other income and lower earnings from operating facilities.
• APUC reported adjusted net earnings of $19.9 million or $0.21 per share for 2010 as compared to adjusted net earnings of $30.5 million or $0.38 per share in 2009. The decrease in adjusted net earnings is due to increased interest expense, reduced interest dividend and other income and lower earnings from operating facilities.

Fourth Quarter Performance, Operational, and Growth Highlights:
• In the fourth quarter of 2010, APCo’s Maritime and Quebec regions experienced resources significantly higher than long-term averages, producing approximately 40% and 15% above long-term average resources, respectively. The New York region experienced resources approximately equal to the long-term average, while the Manitoba and New England regions experienced resources approximately 10% below long-term averages. The Ontario and Western regions continued to experience results significantly below long-term average resources. While wind and hydrologic conditions generally showed improvements during the fourth quarter, APUC was impacted by the change in operating model at the Windsor Locks facility and the stronger Canadian dollar.
• During the fourth quarter, Liberty Water experienced revenue increases in both its water distribution and wastewater treatment business of 16.5% and 17.9% respectively. The increases are due to increased customer demand and the implementation of rate increases at several facilities. In addition, the acquisition of the Galveston facility contributed to the increase in the wastewater treatment business. During 2010, Liberty Water completed rate case proceedings at nine utilities in Arizona and Texas which on an annualized basis will contribute an additional $10.2 million of revenue. One remaining rate case requesting $1.1 million in annual revenue requirement is expected to be concluded by the first quarter of 2011.
• On December 9, 2010, APUC announced that Liberty Energy Utilities Co. (“Liberty Energy”), APUC’s regulated utility subsidiary, entered into agreements to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Granite State Electric Company, a regulated electric utility, and EnergyNorth Natural Gas Inc., a regulated natural gas utility, for total consideration of US$285.0 million. Closings of the transactions are subject to certain conditions including state and federal regulatory approval, and are expected to occur in the fall of 2011.
• On December 21st, 2010 APUC announced that Hydro-Québec Distribution accepted proposals for the purchase of energy from the 24MW Saint-Damase and 24MW Val-Éo wind power generating projects. The projects were submitted with support from APUC in response to the community based call for offers announced in the spring of 2009. Preliminary permitting began for both projects in early 2011, with all major authorizations targeted for completion by the end of 2012.
• In late December 2010 both Liberty Water and Liberty Energy entered into private placement debt financings. Liberty Water completed a senior unsecured US$50 million private placement debt financing with proceeds used to reduce outstanding indebtedness under APCo’s senior credit facility; Liberty Energy entered into a senior unsecured US$70 million private placement debt financing which proceeds were used to partially finance the acquisition of the California Pacific Electric Company. These financings improve the alignment of US dollar denominated subsidiary debt with the respective operating assets.
• Following the end of the fourth quarter, APCo was notified that the Ontario Power Authority has agreed to enter into a power purchase contract in respect of APCo’s 75MW Amherst Island wind project located approximately 30km west of Kingston, Ontario.

“Our primary focus in 2010 was to deliver on the value consolidation and committed growth initiatives outlined during the year”, commented Ian Robertson, Chief Executive Officer of APUC. “We are pleased with our success in completing these initiatives and expect 2011 to enjoy the full year impact of these activities, notably the completion of rate cases in Liberty Water and the closing of the acquisition of the California Pacific Electric Company, which marks a new but well aligned utility business for us. Looking forward, 2011 objectives include further growth in the Liberty Energy business with the closing of the Granite State and EnergyNorth together with additional in-scope utility acquisitions, and expansion of the APCo business primarily through green-field development projects, evident in our recent wind power contract awards in Quebec and Ontario. This will be an active year for APUC and we look forward to communicating our success as we successfully achieve our goals.”

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Announces Commercial Operation of Phase I Red Lily Wind Project

OAKVILLE, Ontario - February 28th, 2011 Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“APUC”) (TSX: AQN) today announced the achievement of commercial operation (“Commercial Operation”) of the 26.4 MW Phase I Red Lily Wind Project (“Red Lily I”) in south-eastern Saskatchewan pursuant to the Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with SaskPower. The project was completed ahead of schedule and is now successfully generating renewable power.

Red Lily I consists of 16 Vestas V82 wind turbine generators. The total capital cost of the facility was approximately $69 million. Red Lily I enjoys an excellent wind resource, which under the power purchase agreement with SaskPower is expected to generate 2011 revenues of $7.5 million and full year 2012 revenues of $8 million. The power purchase agreement with SaskPower is for a 25 year term, with an annual inflation adjustment applied throughout the term.

APUC’s electrical generation subsidiary Algonquin Power Co. (“APCo”) provided services related to the development and construction of the facility and will continue providing ongoing operation and supervision services to the facility.

APUC’s commitment in Red Lily I has been structured initially as a debt investment with total returns to APUC being a combination of interest payments and fees. APUC retains an option to formally exchange its debt investment for a 75% equity interest in the entity which owns the facility in 2016.

“We are pleased that our contribution and significance in the Canadian clean, renewable energy business continues to grow with our investment in the Province of Saskatchewan”, commented Ian Robertson, Chief Executive Officer of APUC. “The successful completion of Red Lily I reinforces APUC’s strategic focus on growth through the investment in, and development of green-field renewable power projects, and underpins the targeted growth in cash-flow from our power business.”

In addition to Red Lily I, additional land rights have been secured for a second phase of the project, which, should it proceed, would provide an additional 106 MW of generating capacity.

Prior to APCo assuming development and construction responsibility, Red Lily I was originated by Gaia Power Inc.

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 require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

Material risk factors include those set out in the management's discussion and analysis section of APUC’s 2009 annual report and 2010 third quarter report, and APUC's Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2010. Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of their dates. Other than as specifically required by law, APUC undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information to reflect new information, subsequent or otherwise.
