ITEM 2.04.

TRIGGERING EVENTS THAT ACCELERATE OR INCREASE A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT.

Reference is made to the Current Report on Form 8-K of Environmental Power Corporation (the “Company”) dated December 23, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2009 (the “Original Report”). The last paragraph of the Original Report under the heading “Effect on Other Material Obligations of the Company” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows, to reflect the existence of a requirement of notice and a cure period before the referenced event becomes an event of default:

Effect on Other Material Obligations of the Company

The acceleration of the obligations represented by the TX Bonds and the CA Bonds described above each will constitute an event of default under the First Supplemental Trust Indenture, dated as of March 1, 2009, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the “Note Trustee”) relating to the Company’s 14% Convertible Notes due January 1, 2014 (the “Convertible Notes”) if the acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled for a period of 30 days after notice form the Note Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding specifying these defaults and requiring the Company to cause such accelerated indebtedness to be discharged or such default to otherwise be cured or waived or such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled. If the Company does not discharge such indebtedness, or obtain the rescission or annulment of the acceleration, within such 30 day period, an event of default will exist, and either the Note Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding may declare the principal of and premium, if any, and all accrued interest on the Convertible Notes immediately due and payable.
