LONDON, September 22 /PRNewswire/ --     Experts on renewable energy and the financing of renewable
energies investments will be on hand in London on September 24-25th for the
9th Renewable Energy Finance Forum. Europe's leading event for renewable
energy investment will bring together investors, project developers, and
executives from across the renewable energies industry.

Investment opportunities in Germany and the country's goals
for 2020 will be the topic of two presentations during the convention. The
first will be a breakfast with Matthias Machnig, State Secretary at the
German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear
Safety. On the following day, Nikolai Dobrott, Director for Renewable
Energies & Resources at Invest in Germany, the country's official inward
investment promotion agency, will make a presentation on the German market.

Germany is number one worldwide in PV, wind, and biodiesel and
aims to lead in all renewables by the year 2020. Its workforce and location
as well as its investment and legal frameworks are making the country a
profitable destination for renewable energies investors. In 2006, sales in
the German renewable sector reached EUR22.9 billion, including more than EUR6
billion in exports, and investments in the German renewables sector reached
over EUR9 billion.

International companies are coming to Germany not only to take
advantage of the company's location, in the center of an enlarged European
Union, but also to seize on the legal and investment incentives in Germany.

The Renewable Energies Law calls for a "feed-in-tariff" for
energy generated from renewable sources - giving property owners an incentive
to acquire renewable energies products. These favorable conditions have
spawned a ready-made market for renewable energies products, such as solar
cells, in Germany.

Investment incentives in eastern Germany, sometimes as high as
50% of investment costs, have prompted many international renewable energies
firms to invest in this part of Germany. For example the American company
First Solar and the Canadian company Arise recently set up shop in Germany.

The breakfast with Mr. Machnig will commence on September,
24th at 7:45am and Mr. Dobrott's speech will be in session 6A on Tuesday,
September 25th from 11:15am-12:45pm.

Invest in Germany is the inward investment promotion agency of
the Federal Republic of Germany. It provides investors with comprehensive
support from site selection to the implementation of investment decisions.
