Westbridge Energy Enters U.S. With Acquisition of 221 MWp Texas Solar Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 28, 2021) - Westbridge Energy Corporation (TSXV: WEB) ("Westbridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Westbridge Energy (U.S.) Corp, has acquired a 221 MWp solar development project known as Accalia Point Solar located in Cameron County, Texas, U.S. (the "Project") from Aelius Solar Corp. ("Seller"). The Project assets are owned by Accalia Point Solar, LLC ("Company"). Westbridge acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company from the Seller, an arms' length party, under a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement ("MIPA").

The Project has secured site control in the form of long-term solar leases covering approximately 1120 acres of primarily cultivated farmland, has kicked off interconnection studies and has completed preliminary environmental analyses. Westbridge anticipates completing the development of
Accalia Point Solar and expects to have obtained all necessary permits and be ready to execute an interconnection agreement in Q1 2023.

"The Accalia Point Solar acquisition represents an important milestone for Westbridge Energy Corp, significantly expanding itsmegawatts under development and entry into the U.S.. We are now in the attractive markets of Alberta, Canada and Texas, USA. Both locations have exceptional solar irradiation and openly competitive wholesale energy markets, making them ideal candidates for renewable energy generation projects," said Stefano Romanin, CEO of Westbridge. "The acquisition is the result of Westbridge's strategy of quickly expanding its portfolio of high-quality projects under development to become a leading renewables development platform in North America.

"We are excited to work with Westbridge and looking forward to building success and developing a strong and successful relationship between our two groups," said Daven Mehta, CEO of Aelius Solar Corp.

In terms of the MIPA, the total consideration payable on closing is USD 576,000 and milestone payments payable as follows: USD 442,000 based on certain development milestones over the next 12 to 18 months; USD 446,500 on signing of interconnection agreement and USD 10,000 per MWp installed capacity on the final sale of the Project.

As part of the transaction, WEB will also enter into a Development Services Agreement ("DSA") with Aelius Solar Corp. under which Aelius will receive USD $20,000/month to provide development services to the Project (the payments under the DSA will be deducted from the last Milestone under the MIPA).
