Clean Power Concepts Inc. ("Clean Power" or the "Company") (OTCBB:CPOW) is pleased to announce that Mr. Ken Kelln P.Eng., founder of Kelln Consulting Ltd and pioneer and respected veteran of the Canadian Solar Industry, has joined the Company's Board of Directors and management team.

In his management role as Vice President Design and Engineering, Mr. Kelln, will be responsible for leading the Company's Design and Application Division, sourcing and integrating the Company's emerging product line and playing a key role in implementing strategies focused on achieving Clean Power's Vision of becoming the one-stop shop and source for clean power alternative products and services for North American consumers, industries and governments.

Mr. Kelln, an Electrical Engineer, has been involved in the solar and wind consulting industry for more than 20 years, designing hundreds of solar power systems in Canada and around the world. Prior to joining Clean Power Concepts, he co-founded Kelln Solar in 1984, a successful renewable energy company which is Canada's largest manufacturer of solar water pumping systems and the country's largest distributor of UNI-SOLAR products.

Mr. Kelln's work in renewable energy and energy conservation in Saskatchewan, Canada goes back to when he graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Science degree (Honours -- Electrical Engineering), with his thesis on "Photovoltaic-Solar Energy Converters". Aside from the development of systems, Mr. Kelln has completed numerous commercial energy audits and has partnered with conservation organizations and Universities to promote practical applications of alternative energy internationally.

"With his appointment, Mr. Kelln brings significant depth to the Company in terms of industry background gained from his involvement in numerous conservation initiatives and as a developer of many innovative solar products, having sold more than 11,000 turn-key Solar Pumping units in Canada and internationally. His reputation and solid connections in this industry will be key to identifying, sourcing out and selecting new products with key strategic suppliers and partners," says Cory Turner, President. "We are focused on attracting experts in the emerging fields of solar energy, wind energy and hydro energy to coincide with our Company's anticipated growth and development, and Mr. Kelln is going to play a key role in leading the development and implementation of these initiatives."

In addition to developing its own retail store concept and e-commerce platform, Clean Power expects to make acquisitions in the near future which will further add to the company's intellectual resource base and management strength.
