Etrion Provides Operations Update


January 17, 2014, Geneva, Switzerland – Etrion Corporation (“Etrion” or the
“Company”) (TSX: ETX / OMX: ETX), a solar independent power producer, announces
an operations update, including preliminary production results for the year
ended December 31, 2013.

Operational Performance
Etrion’s solar parks in Italy continue to perform above forecast. During the
year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s 17 solar power plants produced 104.9
million kilowatt hours (“kWh”) of solar electricity, approximately two percent
above forecast primarily as a result of better plant availability and higher
solar irradiation. Etrion expects to continue producing more than 100 million
kWh of solar electricity from its Italian operations on an annual basis.

Project Salvador Update
The Company’s previously announced Project Salvador, a 70-megawatt (“MW”) solar
project in the Atacama region of Chile, is proceeding as planned. The long-term,
non-recourse financing was recently signed with the Overseas Private Investment
Corporation (OPIC), and first disbursement of the loan was made in December
2013. SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR) received notice to proceed with construction
last month, and site preparation is proceeding on schedule. Etrion expects the
solar plant to commence partial commercial operations during Q4-2014, with full
commissioning expected in early 2015. Upon completion, Project Salvador will
enter into a long‐term, fixed‐price operation and maintenance agreement with
SunPower. Once fully operational, Project Salvador is expected to produce
approximately 140 million kWh of solar electricity per year net to Etrion’s
initial 70 percent ownership interest.

Management Comments
Marco A. Northland, the Company's CEO, commented: “We are pleased to announce
meeting our 2013 production target of over 100 million kWh of solar electricity.
Our Italian operations continue to perform better than expected due to high
solar irradiation and efficient asset management. In addition, Project Salvador,
our 70 MW solar park under construction in Chile, is expected to be on-time, on
-budget and should start generating revenues later this year.”

expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available
to the Company as well as certain assumptions including, without limitation,
that: solar irradiation will continue at expected levels; costs and timing
associated with the construction of Project Salvador will be as anticipated; and
such project will produce the anticipated amount of electricity when

Forward-looking information is subject to a number of significant risks and
uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results of the Company

possibility of delays in construction; the possibility of cost overruns for
Project Salvador; the failure of such project to produce, and the existing
Italian operating plants continuing to produce, electricity at anticipated
levels; adverse changes to the Italian FiT regime or relating to electricity
prices paid to solar producers; the impact of general economic conditions and
world-wide industry conditions in the jurisdictions in which the Company
