Nevada Geothermal Power to Present to Financial Institutions for US$140 Million Senior Secured Credit Facilities for the Construction of 49.5 MW Blue Mountain Geothermal Power Plant

Market Wire, April, 2008

Nevada Geothermal Power Inc. (NGP) (TSX VENTURE: NGP)(OTCBB: NGLPF) today announced that it will make a presentation on April 3, 2008, to a bank group led by the joint arrangers/joint book runners Morgan Stanley and Glitnir Capital Corp. in New York. The presentation is the start of the closing/syndication process of the construction loan for NGP's Blue Mountain Faulkner 1 geothermal power project in Nevada.

NGP seeks the US$140 Million Senior Secured Credit Facilities for the construction of the 49.5 MW Blue Mountain Faulkner I project in Nevada.

The closing of the Credit Facilities is subject to certain conditions precedent and is expected to occur on or before April 30, 2008. The proceeds of the loan will be used to repay the Bridge Loan provided by Glitnir in November 2007 and fund remaining construction of the Faulkner I geothermal power plant, geothermal well field, related infrastructure and development costs.

Subject to customary conditions precedent, at substantial completion of the project, Morgan Stanley will make an equity investment of approximately US$140 Million into a project level single purpose entity, holding the Blue Mountain Faulkner I assets. Proceeds from this investment will repay the construction loan.

"The project financing represents a significant step in the development of Nevada Geothermal Power's first proven project. We look forward to a continuing relationship with Morgan Stanley and Glitnir," said Brian Fairbank, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with a leader in the geothermal energy space," said Scott Beicke, a Vice President at Morgan Stanley.

"Glitnir is proud to have been involved in the development at Blue Mountain since August 2007 and we congratulate the company on this important step forward," said Arni Magnusson, Managing Director and Head of Glitnir's Global Sustainable Energy Group.

Blue Mountain, located 30 kilometers (20 miles) west of the town of Winnemucca, Nevada, is ideally situated for development. The proposed Faulkner I geothermal plant will require a 21-mile long transmission line over relatively flat, undeveloped desert land to a connection point located on utility Sierra Pacific Power Company's 120kV-transmission line north of Mill City, Nevada.

The electric power is to be sold under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement with Nevada Power Company. Phase 1 at Blue Mountain is expected to commence power generation in late 2009.
