Nov. 11, 2011, New York – Laidlaw Energy Group, Inc. announced
today that it has completed the acquisition of a 12.5 megawatt
biomass-energy power plant located in Susanville, California by
acquiring all of the equity interest of Henri Susanville LLC for cash
and stock consideration.

The sellers were Renegy Susanville, LLC which is owned by Renegy, Inc.,
an entity controlled by Robert
M. Worsley, founder and former Chief Executive of SkyMall, Inc., and
Nature Energies, Inc., which is owned by Hanalei
Renewables, a renewable energy company based in France. Both
companies will become equity holders in the Company and have certain
registration rights with respect to their stock subject to certain

Commenting on the transaction, Laidlaw Energy President & CEO Michael

California renewable energy marketplace, a state that has enacted
legislation to obtain 33 percent of its energy from renewable resources
by 2020."

The Company is currently evaluating other potential acquisitions of
biomass energy facilities in the US, including California, although no
assurance can be provided that such acquisitions will be available on
terms and conditions acceptable to the Company.
