November 1, 2007 – Vol.12 No.32 Western Wind Energy Initiates Development, Plans Construction, of Solar Energy Facilities in California and Arizona. The company will utilize several of Western Winds unique and specialized asset holdings as a foundation for the solar energy electrical generation field including significant firm transmission rights in California; substantial acreage of lands that are 100% wholly owned by WesternWind Energy; substantial solar resources - the highest level of solar radiation in North America occurs on Western Wind Energy's wholly owned land holdings and abundant supply of water available for solar thermal generation facilities. Western Wind Energy has been approached by several utilities in the Southwestern United States requesting combination solar/wind energy generation facilities. The company currently produces 34.5 MW of energy from over 500 wind turbine generators located in Southern California - Tehachapi (Windridge) and San Gorgonio Pass (Palm Springs). Western Wind also has over 155 MW of expansion power sales agreements with the associated projects in the late stage of development. In addition, Western Wind Energy has a credible pipeline of over 1,300 MW of site locations in the State of California. Western Wind Energy claims to be the largest producing pure wind energy, publicly traded company (non-income trust) in North America. The solar power generation facilities will be controlled by a new Western Wind subsidiary, Western Solargenics Inc.
