GREEN POWER FLOWING AT SASKPOWER CYPRESS WIND POWER PROJECT

Released on November 25, 2002

Nine more state of the art wind turbines are now feeding electricity to

SaskPower's grid and supplying an additional 5.9 megawatts of GreenPower to

Saskatchewan consumers. Premier Lorne Calvert helped celebrate the

completion of the Cypress Wind Power Facility today.



"Saskatchewan is now clearly a leader in Canada in terms of wind and other

alternative energy projects. Building on the success of the Cypress Wind

Power Facility, we will continue to develop innovative technologies right

here in Saskatchewan to meet our energy needs in the safest, most reliable

and environmentally friendly ways," Premier Lorne Calvert said.



"Along with the environmental benefits, harnessing the wind has already

brought far-reaching economic benefits to the province, with more than one-

third of the work conducted on the Cypress project having a Saskatchewan

component. That translates to approximately a $4.1 million financial

injection into the provincial economy," Calvert added.



The Cypress Wind Turbine Facility is located approximately 12 kilometres

southwest of Gull Lake. The nine turbines, powered only by south-west

Saskatchewan's well-known wind, now gives Saskatchewan a second wind power

facility and makes the province the third largest wind power producer in

Canada.



Combined with the electricity being purchased from the SunBridge wind power

project, SaskPower now has 17 megawatts of green power - enough to serve

about 7,000 Saskatchewan homes.



GreenPower is currently available to Saskatchewan customers, from large

industrial users to small businesses and residential customers. Long-term

commitments by the Government of Saskatchewan, the Government of Canada and

SaskPower, along with major customers such as SaskEnergy and the University

of Regina, have supported these wind power projects.



On November 29th, Peter Prebble, Legislative Secretary to the Premier for

Energy Conservation will be hosting an event in Gull Lake with the people

of the Gull Lake and Carmichael areas to celebrate the completion of the

facility and to thank them for their support of the project.
