Etrion Provides Operations Update

October 31, 2013, Geneva, Switzerland – Etrion Corporation (“Etrion” or the “Company”) (TSX: ETX / OMX: ETX), a solar independent power producer, announces preliminary production results for the third quarter of 2013. Operational Performance Etrion’s solar parks in Italy continue to perform above forecast. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company’s seventeen solar power plants produced 37.7 million kilowatt hours (“kWh”) of solar electricity, approximately 5% above forecast and 6% above the comparable period in 2012 due primarily to higher solar irradiation. Etrion expects to produce over 100 million kWh of solar electricity in 2013. The Company’s solar park operations show an improving trend with a weighted average availability of 99.4% in Q3 2013 compared to 98.5% in Q3 2012. A solar park’s availability measures the amount of time it is able to generate power during daylight hours. The improving trend in operations is also demonstrated by weather-adjusted production increasing 1% in Q3 2013 compared to Q3 2012. A solar park’s weather -adjusted production rescales actual production to standard solar irradiation. Management Comments Marco A. Northland, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Our solar operations continue to perform better than expected due to high solar irradiation and efficient asset management. We look forward to integrating the new Chilean projects into our operations and maintenance platform next year.” About Etrion Etrion Corporation is an independent power producer (“IPP”) that builds, owns and operates utility-scale solar power generation plants. The Company owns 17 solar power plants in Italy with approximately 60 MW of installed capacity. The Italian operations generate more than US$40 million of annual earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Etrion is also developing solar power projects in Chile, including a 70 MW solar park in partnership with Total SA. The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada and the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm exchange in Sweden under the ticker symbol “ETX”. Etrion’s largest shareholder is the Lundin family, which owns approximately 25% of the Company’s shares directly and through various trusts.
