ITEM 3.01.

NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

Environmental Power Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it received an additional Nasdaq Staff Determination (the “Additional Staff Determination”) on April 12, 2010 indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), and that the Company’s securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market. Because the Company’s common stock does not have a market value in excess of $35 million, and the Company has not generated at least $500,000 in net income during the last fiscal year or at least two of the last three fiscal years, the Company is required to maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing standards. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had negative stockholders’ equity of ($19,480,522). This deficiency is in addition to the Nasdaq Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s securities as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as previously announced by the Company.

The Company had previously requested a hearing to appeal the Nasdaq Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s securities for failure to comply with the minimum bid price rule, which request for a hearing was granted. The hearing is expected to take place on April 28, 2010 (the “Hearing”). As suggested in the Additional Staff Determination, at the Hearing, the Company expects to present its views with respect to the failure to satisfy the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement in addition to its plan to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing.
