- Phase 1 to commence commercial production by end of year -

TORONTO, Nov. 5 /CNW/ - China Wind Power International Corp. (TSX-V: CNW) ("China Wind" or the "Company"), today announced that it has completed the first phase of its five-phase wind farm build-out, with 34 wind turbines representing installed capacity of 49 MW. As at October 31, 2009, Phase 1 had generated and sold more than 24 million KWh of electricity to the power grid under trial production. Regular commercial production is expected to commence in December 2009.

"The completion of Phase 1 is obviously a very significant milestone for our Company," said Mr. Jun Liu, Chief Executive Officer of China Wind. "To achieve this milestone, we reconfigured our original turbine allocation planned for Phase 2 to mitigate a temporary turbine supply constraint we were experiencing under our original allocation planned for Phase 1. Importantly, regular commercial production for Phase 1 is expected to begin on schedule."

The Company currently has two 1.5 MW wind turbines installed under its plans for Phase 2, which will represent installed capacity of 49.5 MW when completed. An additional seven wind turbines are to be installed in November. Management expects that Phase 2 will be completed and in production before May 2010.
