Mon, March 9, 2009 Keewatin Windpower: Aspire Engaged by Keewatin Windpower Corp. as Corporate Communications and Strategic Advisory Firm
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - March 9, 2009) - Aspire Clean Tech Communications, Inc., a corporate communications and strategic advisory firm dedicated to the renewable energy and clean tech markets, announced today that it has been engaged by Keewatin Windpower Corp. (
Aspire's Todd Pitcher said, "Wind energy is one of the fastest growing energy sectors, and Canada's wind market represents a massive opportunity for the development of wind resources by companies like Keewatin. In December, the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) announced it had become the 12th country in the world to surpass 2,000MW of installed wind energy capacity. But that only represents about 1% of Canada's total electricity demand. While the majority of installed capacity is in the eastern provinces, about 64%, Western Canada's wind resources are at least as compelling."
Key Milestones
-- Keewatin is participating in the Saskatchewan Wind Power Integration and Development Study -- Keewatin has provided data to Genivar, a Calgary-based engineering firm that is conducting the study on behalf of the utility to define a productive plan for wind power in Saskatchewan -- Keewatin has entered into a letter agreement dated March 26, 2007 to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sky Harvest Windpower Corp. ("Sky Harvest"), a private Canadian company incorporated under the federal laws of Canada. Sky Harvest holds the rights to construct a wind power facility on approximately 8,500 acres of land located in south- western Saskatchewan. Sky Harvest has completed a wind resource assessment on the property that demonstrates that the potential wind resource exceeds the minimum capacity factor necessary to justify the planning and construction of a 150MW wind power project. The assessment was completed by Genivar of Calgary, Alberta. Pitcher added that, "We look forward to working with the team at Keewatin to deliver a clear communications program which enables it to effectively broaden its audience within the investment community as well as the financial and trade media."
