USA - NACEL Energy announces 10MW Hedley Pointe, TX Wind Farm
NACEL Energy Corporation ("NACEL Energy"), a wind power company in business to generate clean, renewable energy, today confirmed it has entered into two long term wind development rights agreements covering an aggregate of 636 acres in Donley County, Texas. Hedley Pointe is the Company's fourth Texas wind energy project located in the Panhandle. At project build-out, NACEL Energy anticipates 10 MW, or more, of power generating capacity from Hedley Pointe.
NACEL Energy's Hedley Pointe wind project is strategically located to provide potential interconnection optionality with two electric system operators; SPP and ERCOT. SPP provides power to Kansas, and portions of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. ERCOT provides power to 21 million customers covering 75% of Texas.
Collection of site specific wind data has commenced at Hedley Pointe with the installation of a 60 meter (200 ft.) NRG Systems meteorological tower transmitting data back to NACEL Energy, via an Iridium satellite uplink. While wind data is collected, additional important development milestones including without limitation, interconnection engineering, turbine engineering and obtaining turbine debt financing, must be completed by the Company. Accordingly, NACEL Energy cautions that project commissioning (completion) at Hedley Pointe is not expected until at least the end of the Company's fiscal 2009-10 year, or later depending upon future events.
NACEL Energy Chief Executive Officer, Brian Lavery, stated:
"Hedley Pointe is our fourth wind power project. We anticipate generating a total of 80 MW of clean, renewable power upon build-out of our four Texas Panhandle projects – enough energy to meet the daily requirements of an estimated 24,000 average American homes."
About NACEL Energy Corporation:
NACEL Energy is one of the first publicly-traded companies in America exclusively developing utility class wind power generation projects. NACEL Energy has commenced work at its Hedley Pointe, Swisher, Blue Creek and Channing Flats projects, all located in Texas, and currently anticipates 80 MW of new wind power upon their completion. Internationally, NACEL Energy is pursuing development of a three phase 600 MW wind power generation project in the Dominican Republic which, if successful, could supply clean, renewable, wind energy to a region which relies predominantly on fossil-fuels. NACEL Energy was founded in 2006 and successfully completed its IPO in December of 2007.
