Juhl Wind Announces Initial Stages of Three New Wind Farm Projects

Posted on: Wednesday, 20 August 2008, 12:00 CDT

Juhl Wind Inc. (OTCBB: JUHL), the Leader in Community Wind Power, today announced three new wind farm projects recently started with owner groups in various regions of Minnesota. Feasibility study agreements were recently signed with a group of owners in Thief River Falls, MN (a potential 20 MW project) and with the St. Peter Regional Treatment Center, St. Peter, MN (up to a 5 MW project). A feasibility and development agreement was signed with a group of farmer owners for a 5 to 10 MW project in Granite Falls, MN.

"We are very enthusiastic about the prospects of these projects in Granite Falls, St. Peter and Thief River Falls," stated Dan Juhl, CEO of Juhl Wind. "With the addition of these three projects, we are now actively working on approximately 19 projects in some stage of development. The addition of these projects is very representative of our process - we sign initial agreements and then move along the development cycle with our local owner groups over a normal course of time until we construct and commission a wind farm. While all of these projects take some time to develop, we have a good idea of their potential success before we ever sign initial agreements."

"Adding 3 projects in the last couple of months is also representative of the strong demand in the market for Community Wind farms," added Dan Juhl. "Since going public with our increased awareness, we are receiving regular inquiries from groups of local owners - almost on a daily basis. This is exactly what we hoped for when we went public at the end of June. We want our friends in rural America to know that they don't have to turn their land over to large wind developers. Instead, they can work with us and own their own wind farm and keep a much larger share of the economic benefits for themselves and their neighbors."
