LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Feb. 15, 2011) -

THIS MEDIA RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. (TSX:INE) ("Innergex" or the "Corporation") announced today that it has decided to increase the size of its previously announced public offering of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") from $150,535,000 to $160,820,000 or from 16,100,000 Subscription Receipts to 17,200,000 Subscription Receipts at a price of $9.35 per Subscription Receipt. In the event the underwriters exercise in full their right to the over-allotment option to acquire 550,000 Subscription Receipts, the total gross proceeds to Innergex will increase to $165,962,500. The Offering is being led by BMO Capital Markets and National Bank Financial Inc.

The proceeds of the subscription receipt financing will be held in escrow pending the completion of the previously announced acquisition of Cloudworks Energy Inc. (the "Acquisition"). The Subscription Receipts are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for common shares of Innergex upon closing of the Acquisition for no additional consideration or further action.

Furthermore, upon closing of the Acquisition, subject to certain adjustments, approximately $39.3 million of the purchase price of the Acquisition will be paid by the Corporation by the issuance to the vendors of common shares of Innergex by way of private placement at a price of $9.75 per common share (being an amount corresponding to the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX prior to the public announcement of the Acquisition).

The issuance of the Subscription Receipts and underlying common shares pursuant to the public offering and the common shares pursuant to the private placement are subject to customary approvals of applicable securities regulatory authorities, including the TSX. Furthermore, the common shares issued under the private placement will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period. Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about March 4, 2011.

All information and statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release are forward-looking information. Such statements and information may be identified by looking for words such as "about", "approximately", "may", "believes", "expects", "will", "intend", "should", "plan", "predict", "potential", "project", "anticipate", "estimate", "continue" or similar words or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Such forward-looking information includes, without limitation, statements with respect to: the anticipated closing of the Acquisition, the benefits which may accrue to Innergex and its shareholders as a result of the Acquisition, the anticipated closing of the offering of the Subscription Receipts, cash flows, dividends, power generation, growth prospects, business strategy and plans, and objectives of or involving Innergex.

The forward-looking information is based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Innergex, including expectations and assumptions concerning satisfaction of all conditions of closing, absence of exercise of any termination right and the timing and receipt of regulatory approval with respect to the offering of Subscription Receipts and the issuance of the private placement shares, availability of capital resources and performance of operating facilities. Although Innergex believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information since no assurance can be given that they will prove to be correct. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, the market for Subscription receipts, volatility of market price for common shares, escrow release condition, failure to close the Acquisition, potential undisclosed liabilities associated with the Acquisition and integration of the business of Cloudworks, failure to realize the benefits of the Acquisition (including cost synergies, operational efficiencies and added stability of cash flows), energy generation and the limited nature of the representations and warranties and indemnities in the share purchase agreement and other risks generally attributable to the business of Innergex as the businesses of Innergex and Cloudworks are very similar. For additional information with respect to risks and uncertainties, refer to the Annual Information Form of Innergex filed by Innergex with the Canadian securities commissions.
