TORONTO, ONTARIO (May 18, 2007) – Macquarie Power & Infrastructure Income Fund (TSX:MPT.UN) (“MPT” or the “Fund”) today announced it has mailed a take-over bid circular dated May 18, 2007 (the “Circular”) to unitholders (“CPIF Unitholders”) of Clean Power Income Fund (TSX:CLE.UN) (TSX:CLE.DB) (“CPIF”) and holders of CPIF’s 6.75% convertible debentures (the “Debentures”). MPT previously announced its offer to purchase (the “Offer”), subject to certain terms and conditions, all of CPIF’s outstanding trust units (“CPIF Units”), including CPIF Units that may become issued and outstanding upon the conversion of the Debentures after the date of the Offer and prior to the expiry of the Offer.

MPT has filed the Circular and related documents with the various Canadian securities regulatory authorities. MPT’s Offer will be open for acceptance until 12:01 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 23, 2007, unless withdrawn, varied or extended.

The package mailed to CPIF Unitholders and holders of Debentures includes the trustees’ circular dated May 18, 2007 (the “Trustees’ Circular”) prepared by the Board of Trustees of CPIF’s operating trust, on behalf of CPIF, which unanimously recommends that CPIF Unitholders accept the Offer and deposit their CPIF Units under the Offer.

Under the Offer, CPIF Unitholders are entitled to receive 0.5581 trust units of MPT (“MPT Units”) and one contingency value receipt (a “CVR”) for each CPIF Unit that is validly deposited and not validly withdrawn under the Offer.

The CVRs represent a contingent right of the holders to receive an amount calculated on the basis of 80% of the balance, if any, less certain costs and expenses, of US$7.593 million deposited in an escrow account established by PEET U.S. Holdings Inc.

(“PEET”), currently a subsidiary of CPIF, in connection with its sale of Gas Recovery Systems, LLC (“GRS”), and payments, if any, that might be made by the purchaser of GRS to PEET if the purchaser receives certain refunds from Commonwealth Edison Co. relating to GRS (after certain specified adjustments and deductions for certain payments, claims, costs and expenses).

The Offer is subject to customary conditions, including that greater than 66 2/3% of the CPIF Units that are issued and outstanding at the expiry of the Offer are validly deposited and not validly withdrawn under the Offer.

CPIF Unitholders are urged to read the Circular, the Trustees' Circular and related documents. Questions regarding the Offer and requests for assistance in depositing CPIF Units under the Offer may be directed to Georgeson, the Information Agent for the Offer, at 100 University Avenue, 11th Floor, South Tower, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, or toll free within North America at 1-866-682-6164. Copies of the Circular, the Trustees’ Circular and other materials related to the Offer may be obtained without charge from Computershare Investor Services Inc., the Depositary for the Offer, at 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, Attention: Corporate Actions, or toll free within North America at 1-800-564-6253 or by email at corporateactions@computershare.com. Additionally, all materials related to the Offer are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

CPIF Unitholders resident in the United States who deposit their CPIF Units under the Offer will not be entitled to receive MPIIF Units or CVRs. Instead, the MPIIF Units otherwise distributable to U.S. Unitholders will be aggregated and sold outside the U.S., through the facilities of the TSX, through a registered broker or investment dealer. Each Unitholder whose MPIIF Units have been sold in such manner will be forwarded an amount equal to such Unitholder’s pro rata interest in the net proceeds of such sale or sales, after commissions, expenses and any applicable withholding taxes, as soon as reasonably practicable after completion of such sale or sales. In addition, the CVRs otherwise distributable to U.S. Unitholders will be issued to an escrow agent until payment on the CVRs, if any, is made, at which time each such Unitholder will be forwarded payment in an amount equal to such Unitholder’s pro rata portion of the payment amount, if any, net of all costs related to such arrangements and any applicable withholding taxes.

This news release is not a solicitation of a proxy from any security holder of CPIF, nor is it an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell securities.
