Dear Friends,

Holocene Clean Energy is dedicated to developing innovative solutions that enable power consumers to procure renewable energy at competitive prices, while providing meaningful benefits to local communities hosting our generation facilities.

Recently, we have become aware that one of our efforts to share good news about such benefits may have raised concerns from some community members in the Charlotte Court House, Virginia area.

In the announcement of our financial assistance to the Charlotte Court House Volunteer Fire Department to fund improvements to the area surrounding the new facility, helping trucks pull from the station more quickly during emergencies, we stated that the project was a high priority for the Charlotte County Board of Supervisors.  This was incorrect, and in fact, a much more urgent need arose last October involving the Drakes Branch Volunteer Fire Department.

Some time after we offered our support for the improvements at the Charlotte Court House VFD, the facility housing the Drakes Branch Volunteer Fire Department suffered a near total loss during Hurricane Michael and its aftermath. The Holocene team has many friends and family members who are still dealing with the storm’s effects in Virginia and North Carolina, and we understand the importance of communities working together to rebuild from such natural disasters. In reviewing the press release, we understand that it could be construed as minimizing the significance of the Drakes Branch damage, and we sincerely apologize. Anyone with further questions may contact Laura Tillett, laura.tillett@holocene-energy.com, at their convenience.

Our goal in contributing to the enhancement of emergency services in the region is part of our effort to become valued members of the community.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Stan Allison

Executive Partner
