    Energy Editors/Business Editors

PORTSMOUTH, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2003--Environmental Power
Corporation (OTCBB: POWR), ("Environmental Power") through its
subsidiary Microgy Cogeneration Systems, Inc. ("Microgy") has executed
a Letter of Intent with Dairyland Power Cooperative ("Dairyland") to
create a strategic alliance to deploy animal waste to energy systems
on dairy and swine farms in Dairyland's service territory in the
Midwest. These proposed systems will produce up to 25 MW of renewable
distributed generation capacity and be based on Microgy's proprietary
anaerobic digestion technology that processes and controls animal
waste from dairy and swine farm operations. The biogas produced from
the digesters will be purchased by Dairyland for its use in generating
clean, renewable energy. Dairyland serves a five state region through
member cooperatives in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and
Michigan.

Dan Eastman, Vice President of Business Development for Microgy
stated: "Our proposed strategic alliance with Dairyland will enable
numerous farms to lessen their impact on the environment, respond to
new Environmental Protection Agency pollution regulations for
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) and profit from the
production of renewable energy. Dairyland will enjoy many years of
reasonably priced renewable electricity to serve its expanding
customer base and fulfill its commitment to preserving and protecting
the quality of our environment."

"Environmental Power believes that this strategic alliance with
Dairyland will serve as a model for other regions in America where the
environment, the farmers and electric consumers can all gain solid
benefits by working together to be good stewards of the earth in a
manner which makes economic sense."

Environmental Power, through Microgy, holds the exclusive North
American license for a highly efficient anaerobic digestion technology
that produces renewable energy by converting polluting waste resources
from agricultural sites into clean, cost effective fuel. The Company's
technology has operated successfully for more than 15 years at over 25
facilities in Europe. Environmental Power currently has a number of
projects soon to begin construction in Wisconsin, Vermont and New
York.

Dairyland, one of the largest generation and transportation
cooperatives in the Midwest, provides wholesale electric power to 25
distribution cooperatives and 20 municipal electric systems. The
Cooperative is committed to preserving and protecting the quality of
the environment by expanding its renewable energy portfolio. The use
of methane gas from anaerobic digestion is part of this long term
plan.
