Cleanfield Announces Successful Response to RFP for Turbine Testing Leading to Certification

ANCASTER, ONTARIO (TSX VENTURE: AIR) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cleanfield Energy Corp, has been chosen as one of five companies to have their wind turbine tested by the Wind Energy Institute of Canada (WEICan) at the WEICan site at North Cape, Prince Edward Island. This award has been made by WEICan in response to Cleanfield's proposal submitted in response to WEICan's September 2007 'Testing Leading to Certification' RFP. The RFP was offered by WEICan to identify and conduct independent testing on commercially available small wind turbines (SWTs). These tests are defined in detail by IEC Standards and, where applicable, by the draft American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) standard for SWTs. Testing will be compliant with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. Type Tests will be conducted in accordance with the (yet to be finalized) North American small wind standard. It is intended that turbine manufacturers will then have those test results certified by the newly-established North American Small Wind Certification Corporation (SWCC).

"Cleanfield is very excited for the opportunity to have the Cleanfield V3.5 tested for performance and reliability with WEICan's Type Tests. To date, this sort of information is difficult to acquire for small wind turbines. We are proud to be chosen as one of the first small wind turbine companies to be tested to the SWCC's standards and look forward to the results, and further, to this inaugural certification," said Cleanfield Energy President/CEO Tony Verrelli.

WEICan's Director of Business Development, James Glennie, commented "We are very pleased to have successfully concluded this RFP with such a fine collection of companies. Working with organizations such as Cleanfield is exactly what WEICan is all about: advancing the integration of wind energy across Canada through industry collaboration on research, development, testing and certification of novel wind energy systems".
