FirstLight Power Resources Will Move to Downtown Hartford in Spring 2007

ROCKY HILL, Conn., February 8, 2007 – NE Energy Inc. today announced it has changed its name to FirstLight Power Resources Inc. The company, which has approximately 235 employees and 15 power generating facilities in Connecticut and Massachusetts, plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to downtown Hartford in early spring.

Underscoring the company’s commitment to Greater Hartford and the Northeast region, FirstLight has leased approximately 24,000 square feet of space at 20 Church Street where about 70 of its corporate employees will be based.

“The new name and corporate logo build on our deep roots in low-cost, reliable generation. Our strong platform of hydroelectric plants and our Mt. Tom baseload facility provide the first source of power to customers connected to the electric grid,” said Curt Morgan, FirstLight’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “At our new headquarters location, we’ll be centrally located in Greater Hartford, accessible throughout New England and able to draw from the area’s network of universities and talented work force.”

FirstLight owns the 1,080-megawatt Northfield Mountain pumped-hydro storage facility located in Northfield, Mass.; the 146- megawatt coal-fired Mt.
