Germany - Joint venture into the Canadian wind energy market

The wind-farm developer PNE WIND AG is extending its international activities once more and taking its first steps into the Canadian wind energy market. Its subsidiary, Plambeck New Energy USA Inc., has concluded a joint venture agreement for the future cooperation with the Canadian company BCP Renewable Energy Ltd.

As joint venture partners, the companies will participate in requests for tender for wind-farms in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. In Saskatchewan, wind-farm projects are tendered by the provincial electrical utility company, SaskPower. Such a request for tender is anticipated in the near future.

Kelly Lloyd, General Manager of PNE WIND USA, Inc., is very pleased about the cooperation with BCP Renewable Energy Ltd: "In Canada too, we are expecting a strong expansion of wind energy in the coming years. Here, wind energy is still at the start of its development and with our Canadian and international experience we expect to develop utility grade wind projects for SaskPower."

Chad Eggerman, Director of BCP Renewable Energy Ltd., notes that with the start of this cooperation many promising opportunities exist: "We are always adding to our list of numerous outstanding sites in Saskatchewan, across Canada and in other parts of the world. I am confident that with the expertise of Kelly Lloyd and the experience of Plambeck Neue Energien AG we will see the realization of sizeable wind farms in the vast and breezy prairies of Saskatchewan and across Canada."
