OTTAWA, ONTARIO March 28, 2013 - Wind Works Power Corp.
(OTC:WWPW - News)(WKN: A0RPM2) is pleased to announce that it has
signed agreements to acquire a private German wind energy
developer. The first payment has been made to the former owners,
which repaid existing liabilities of the developer. Wind Works
funded this first payment from the proceeds of the sale of Wind
Park Burg II. The initial payment gives Wind Works a 24% equity
stake, which will increase to 100%, subject to milestones and
additional future payments through 2014.
Prior to the acquisition, Wind Works had already partnered with
this developer on the Wind Park Burg and Wind Park Rock projects in
Germany. In addition to these 2 projects, the developer also has a
100 megawatt pipeline in Germany, which includes 6 wind energy
projects in development totaling 50 MW, all of which are expected
to be permitted within the next 2 years; plus an additional 50 MW
of ongoing green field development.
The developer has an office in Germany with a staff of 10
people, including its new CEO Ingo Stuckmann, who will also
continue as CEO of Wind Works.
"We currently own a 49% equity interest in a 4.6MW producing
wind farm in Germany, and with this acquisition we now have an
equity stake in over 100 MW of projects, half of which can be built
in the next 2 years, subject to permitting", comments Dr. Ingo
Stuckmann, Wind Works' President and CEO. "Our objective over the
next 3 years is to own and operate a minimum of 100 MW of wind
farms in our 3 markets, Germany, the United States, and
Canada."
Ontario Projects Update
Wind Works is continuing to work with Sprott Power in order to
close the transaction that is subject to the signed Letter of
Intent announced on October 29, 2012.
In the meantime, Wind Works has decided to discontinue the
development of the Clean Breeze and Collie Hill projects in Ontario
due to insufficient economics.
About Wind Works / Zero Emission People
Wind Works now operates 4.6 megawatts in Germany, in which it
has a 49% ownership stake. In addition, Wind Works is developing 77
megawatts of near-term permitted projects in Germany; 70 megawatts
of FIT contracted projects in Ontario; and 425 megawatts of
projects in the United States.
Our mission is to provide the opportunity for people to
participate in the development of renewable wind energy projects.
We believe in making sound, environmentally conscious investments
that are good for our shareholders and our planet. To eliminate one
person`s carbon footprint of 10 tons each year (for Germany), it
only takes a modern windmill 1 day by producing approx. 20,000
kilowatt hours of zero emission energy.
