Symbol: SKYH:OTCBB VANCOUVER, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sky Harvest Windpower Corp., (OTCBB: SKYH) ("Sky Harvest" or "the Company"), welcomes the announcement by SaskPower on October 28, 2009 of the Green Options Plan and the Green Options Partners Program, which will add a further 200 megawatts (MW) of Windpower to SaskPower's generation capacity. Under the Green Options Plan, SaskPower intends to procure up to 175MW of wind power from independent power producers. SaskPower has announced that a formal Request for Qualifications to identify qualified bidders will be issued on December 1, 2009. Further details of the Green Options Plan will be released before the end of the year. "This program delivers on the Saskatchewan Government's commitment to provide the province with a reliable, cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable power generation system. Windpower can meet these obligations and new forecasting technologies are ever increasing the reliability of the resource." said Chris Craddock, President and C.E.O. of Sky Harvest. Sky Harvest Windpower Corp, through its subsidiary Sky Harvest Windpower (Saskatchewan) Corp., is developing two utility scale wind farm projects in Southwest Saskatchewan. The Sky Harvest project near Birsay is at an advanced stage of design and engineering, and is potentially at least a 150MW facility. A project of this size could deliver enough electricity to supply 65,000 Saskatchewan homes. The proposed project could provide up to 180 jobs during construction with a third of those being primarily local opportunities. Sky Harvest intends to respond to the Request for Qualifications when it is released. ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF SKYHARVEST WINDPOWER CORP.
