                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

In connection with the Quarterly Report of Distributed Power, Inc., formerly The
New World Power Corporation (the "Company") on Form 10-QSB for the period ending
March 31, 2004 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the date
hereof ("Report"), I, John D. Kuhns, Chairman of the Company, certify, pursuant
to 18 U.S.C. 1350, as adopted pursuant to 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
that to the best of my knowledge:

         1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Distributed
         Power, Inc.;

         2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
         to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
         such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
         covered by this report;

         3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
         information included in this report, fairly present in all material
         respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
         of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

         4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
         controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and
         15d-14) for the registrant and have:
         a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
         material information relating to the registrant, including its
         consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
         entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being
         prepared;
         b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
         and procedures and presented in this report my conclusions about the
         effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
         of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
         c) disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
         most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in
         the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
         reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting; and

         5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal
         controls over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the
         audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons
         performing the equivalent functions):
         a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
         or operation
         of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial data; and
         b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
         other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
         internal control over financial reporting.
