Shear Wind Announces Completion of Glen Dhu Project

Shear Wind Inc. ("Shear Wind") (TSX VENTURE:SWX) announces today that the Glen
Dhu 62.1 MW wind facility in Nova Scotia (the "Glen Dhu Wind Farm"), has been
completed and all turbines have been erected and commissioned. The Glen Dhu Wind
Farm is the largest wind energy project in the province and is producing
renewable energy for the people of Nova Scotia. It is anticipated that the
production from the Glen Dhu Wind Farm will make a significant contribution to
reaching the targets set within the province's Renewable Energy Standard, and
will produce enough power for approximately 18,000 homes. 


"This is a major accomplishment for Shear Wind," stated Mike Magnus, President
and CEO. "We have met all our delivery milestones and we are extremely proud of
our achievements. We feel this is a testimony to the tremendous capabilities of
this company and that the completion of the Glen Dhu Wind Farm provides a
turning point in building a strong and profitable energy company."


Shear Wind has plans in place to expand the Glen Dhu Wind Farm, which is
understood to be strategically suited for increased production. The site is
expected to offer economic scale for expansion. Magnus went on to say, "Our plan
is to build on our success, and we await the next Nova Scotia Request for
Proposals (RFP) for renewable energy to gain the opportunity to build out Glen
Dhu Phase II." 


Ian Tillard, COO said, "We are pleased to say that the construction was done
mostly by Nova Scotians. Our dedication to excellence was extremely important,
and our perseverance got us through a very hard winter construction. The
communities are extremely supportive of the opportunities that a wind farm
brings to the people and the local economy. "


Shear Wind has an aggressive development strategy to advance projects in other
provinces and has developed a pipeline of projects which it is awaiting the
opportunity to construct. In addition to the Glen Dhu Wind Farm in Nova Scotia,
Shear Wind is targeting three other near-term opportunities in New Brunswick,
Saskatchewan and Alberta. 


Mr. Magnus concluded: "Our goal is to reach the status of being a significant
energy producer in Canada. We feel that our proven team is very capable of
meeting our future challenges."

an offer to buy any securities of Shear Wind in any jurisdiction.
