PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - September 18, 2009) - NACEL Energy Corporation (OTCBB: [ NCEN ]) (FRANKFURT: 4FC) ("NACEL Energy"), a wind power company in business to generate clean, [ renewable energy ], today announced the completion of major environmental assessment work at its Channing Flats wind power project in Moore County, Texas. In addition, the Company recently received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) permits covering the placement of 18 turbines at Channing Flats -- completing the development phase permitting for this project.

Consistent and steady progress on NACEL Energy's Channing Flats wind power project has occurred. Work initially began early in 2009 with an ALTA/ACSM survey on the 1,413 acre parcel acquired by the Company under a wind development rights option agreement (see Company's Form 8-K filed on November 8, 2008) including access roads to the site. The Company then commissioned work for a series of necessary evaluations and other efforts including an archaeological/cultural site evaluation needed for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; a biological resources evaluation including wildlife habitat assessment; a storm water pollution prevention plan; a U.S. Army of Corps of Engineers jurisdictional waters evaluation and the aforementioned application for FAA turbine permits.

In addition to environmental and permitting work, NACEL Energy has also completed significant pre-construction work for the Channing Flats project including turbine and electrical collection engineering as part of the Company's project interconnection plan, now before Southwest Power Pool (see Company's Form 8-K filed on June 18, 2009).

The Company cautions that important milestones remain to be undertaken and completed prior to project commissioning (operations) at Channing Flats, currently anticipated for July 2010. Such milestones include a final interconnection agreement, negotiation of a power purchase agreement and consummating turbine (debt) financing.

NACEL Energy's Chief Executive Officer, Paul Turner, Ph. D., stated:

"NACEL Energy's wind development business model based upon phased project expansion and multiple interconnection options is unique in the American [ wind energy ] industry. We look forward to updating shareholders and other interested parties concerning the achievement of future milestones at Channing Flats, as well as our five other wind power generation projects."
