BKS Berkley Renewables Inc

Solar Flow-Through 2012-I Limited Partnership ("Solar Flow-Through"), a limited
partnership established by Berkley Renewables Inc. ("Berkley")
(CNSX:BKS)(FRANKFURT:WKN 871666)(BERLIN:WKN 871666) under the laws of British
Columbia, reports that 52 of 126 applications filed with the Ontario Power
Authority (OPA) to develop solar power projects in the Province of Ontario have
will receive FIT contract awards under the FIT 2.1 program. FIT contracts with
the OPA provide fixed purchase rates for solar power and are guaranteed by the
OPA for 20 years.


The project applications to receive contracts from the OPA were filed with
various solar development partners and totaled 12.18 MW AC, or approximately
14.62 MW DC. Total capital costs for the projects are forecast to exceed $50
million, and the projects are expected to be developed during 2013 and 2014.


Working with First Nations and Community Co-operative Partners 

Solar Flow-Through's network of solar developers submitted 126 projects to the
OPA for approval in January 2013. Two First Nation bands as well as a community
co-op were partners in the applications. All projects submitted were commercial
rooftops and were 500 KW AC or less ("Small FIT"), which was the limit set by
the OPA for Small FIT. Of the 126 initial applications, 70 moved to the final
approval stage in June2013. On July 3, 2013, the OPA published the list of
projects to receive contracts under Small FIT 2.1 which included 52 projects
from Solar Flow-Through's network of solar developers. 


Solar Flow Through will now proceed with new applications for the Small FIT 3
procurement window, which the OPA has stated will begin in the fall of 2013. The
OPA has indicated that approximately 123.5 MW AC of contacts will be awarded in
Small FIT 3. 


Next Round of Financing for $10,000,000 

As a result of the large number of applications awarded to Solar Flow-Through
and its development partners, Solar Flow-Through intends to conduct a second
Flow-Through Limited Partnership offering in the summer of 2013 for up to
$10,000,000.
