<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">OAKVILLE, ON, Nov. 24, 2014 /CNW/&#151;Algonquin Power&nbsp;&amp; Utilities Corp. (&#147;APUC&#148;) (TSX: AQN) today announced that it intends to proceed
with a 10 MW project adjacent to its 20MW Bakersfield I Solar project in Kern County, California, which is currently under construction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The 10MW
Bakersfield II Solar project executed a 20 year power purchase agreement on September&nbsp;22, 2014 with a large California based electric utility. The project will be located on 64 acres of land adjacent to the 20MW Bakersfield I Solar project.
Construction of Bakersfield I Solar is nearing completion, with commercial operations expected to occur in the first quarter of 2015. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The total project
cost for Bakersfield II Solar of approximately U.S. $27 million will be funded with a combination of senior debt, common equity and contributions from tax equity investors. Consistent with financing structures utilized for U.S. based renewable
energy projects including Bakersfield I Solar, it is anticipated that Bakersfield II Solar will source financing in the amount of approximately 40% of the capital costs from certain tax equity investors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We are pleased to announce the continued growth of our solar power generation portfolio through a commitment to the 10 MW Bakersfield II Solar
facility,&#148; commented APUC Chief Executive Officer Ian Robertson. &#147;The low annual production variability associated with solar electrical generation continues to contribute to de-risking and diversifying our portfolio. The Bakersfield II
Solar project confirms our ability to grow organically as we expand our presence within the United States and specifically in the State of California.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Construction of Bakersfield II Solar is anticipated to commence in mid-2015 following receipt of local permits and finalization of necessary construction
contracts, subject to approval by the APUC board of directors. Commercial operation is targeted to occur in Q1 2016. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>About Algonquin Power&nbsp;&amp;

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">OAKVILLE, ON, Nov. 24, 2014 /CNW/&#151;Algonquin Power&nbsp;&amp; Utilities Corp. (&#147;APUC&#148;) (TSX:AQN) today announced that it plans to participate in
the development of Kinder Morgan&#146;s proposed Northeast Energy Direct (&#147;NED&#148;) natural gas pipeline project. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Liberty Utilities
(Pipeline&nbsp;&amp; Transmission) Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of APUC and Kinder Morgan Operating L.P. &#147;A&#148; have agreed to form a new entity (&#147;Northeast Expansion LLC&#148;) to undertake the development, construction and
ownership of a 30-inch or 36-inch natural gas transmission pipeline to be located between Wright, NY and Dracut, MA. The project is scalable up to 2.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), and the pipeline capacity will be contracted with local
distribution utilities, and other customers, to help ease constraints on natural gas supply in the northeast U.S. and help ensure much needed reliability to the power-generation grid. It is anticipated that the project will receive a FERC
certificate in Q4 2016, with commercial operations occurring by late 2018. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the agreement, APUC will initially subscribe for a 2.5% interest in
Northeast Expansion LLC with an opportunity to increase its participation up to 10%. The total capital investment opportunity for APUC could be up to US$400 million, depending on the final pipeline configuration and design capacity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;I am pleased to announce our first natural gas transmission pipeline investment in the U.S. Northeast,&#148; said Ian Robertson, Chief Executive Officer
of APUC. &#147;This initial investment with global leader Kinder Morgan represents a strategic initiative that connects our generation and distribution businesses across the utility value continuum. The partnership agreement provides APUC with the
opportunity for additional investment in project expansions offering further diversification to our dynamic organization.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We are pleased to
have a customer such as Algonquin partner with us for such a significant project for the region. The NED project could move up to 2.2 Bcf/d of supply originating from the Marcellus area from Wright, New York, to Dracut, Massachusetts and other
customer-designated points to serve the New England market,&#148; said Kinder Morgan Natural Gas Pipelines President Thomas A. Martin. &#147;The Tennessee Gas Pipeline system provides unmatched supply diversity, including incremental access to the
prolific Marcellus and other shale plays, making the Northeast Energy Direct project an ideal solution to satisfy rapidly growing natural gas demand that is forecasted in the Northeast and New England in the years ahead.&#148; </P>
