Princeton Power Project remains on hold

VANCOUVER, March 14 PRNewswire-FirstCall - Compliance Energy Corporation (the "Company") announces that it is continuing discussions with BC Hydro ("Hydro") regarding the Company's Electricity Purchase Agreement with Hydro and the Princeton Power Project will remain on hold until after the results of Hydro's phase one bioenergy power call are publically available. It is anticipated that the results of the phase one power call will be available by the fall of 2008 at which time a phase two bioenergy call will be launched following the completion of the Ministry of Forests and Range's biomass inventory and forest tenure analysis.

A study completed on behalf of the Company by the Timberline Natural Resource Group forecasts that there will be ample fuel in the form of roadside residuals from existing logging operations and passed over beetle killed pine in the Princeton region to fuel the plant for over 25 years. Salvaging the standing dead pine for fuel would allow reforestation to be accelerated, would help mitigate the risk of wildfires, benefit the forest industry in the recovery of saw logs from infested areas and enhance economic activities in the woods industry for local communities.

Electricity from a biomass fuelled power plant is available continuously 24 hours per day unlike other forms of renewable electricity which might not be available when the electricity is required. The Princeton Power Project would contribute to the Provincial goal of becoming electricity self sufficient by 2016.

Compliance Energy Corporation's shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol CEC and investor information is available on the Company's web page at www.complianceenergy.com.

The Preliminary Assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred coal resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as coal reserves and there is no certainty that the Preliminary Assessment will be realized. Coal resources that are not coal reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
