PRESS RELEASE, AUGUST 5, 2010

O&G Industries, Inc.

On August 5th, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration issued citations regarding the events
surrounding the February 7th explosion at the KLEEN Energy facility in Middletown.

O&G will be contesting the alleged violations issued by OSHA. As OSHA’s written citations indicate,
issuance of a citation “does not constitute a finding that a violation has occurred.”

Prior to February 7, 2010, the KLEEN Energy Project conducted approximately 1.7 million work hours
with only a single lost time incident. This is an impressive safety record by any standard and
demonstrates the rigor of O&G’s safety programs and the company’s commitment to workplace safety.
Approximately six months prior to the accident, OSHA conducted a week long site safety inspection of
the KLEEN Energy Project. The inspection revealed full compliance with all safety standards and
regulations.

The rebuilding of the KLEEN Energy Project has begun, and hundreds of local, skilled union workers have
returned to full employment at the site. We look forward to successfully completing this important
enhancement to Connecticut’s infrastructure.

Our contesting of these citations should not be confused with any wavering in our commitment to
safety. O&G will continue to review and enhance our safety programs, partnering with agencies such as
OSHA and the Chemical Safety Board, and working with other industry leaders on the development of
new best practices and construction standards.

We continue to remember the workers who lost their lives and those who were injured. Our thoughts
and prayers remain with everyone impacted by the incident, their families, friends and coworkers.
