OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/19/12 -- Wind Works Power Corp. (OTCQB: WWPW)(PINKSHEETS: WWPW)(FRANKFURT: R5E1)(WKN: AORPM2) is pleased to announce it has signed agreements and closed on the sale of its remaining 50% interest in Wind Park Burg 1, a 4 megawatt (MW) wind project located in Germany. Wind Works has now sold 100% of the project.
Wind Park Burg 1 is currently under construction by its wholly-owned affiliate, Wind Works Development GmbH, as reported in our recently issued Company Newsletter (available at www.windworkspower.com). The Wind Park is expected to be online in the Summer of 2012.
Transaction Highlights:
-- Turnkey sales price (inclusive of all construction and equipment costs)
for 100% of Wind Park Burg 1 is $ 12 million (payable according to
construction milestones);
-- Wind Works will earn a 1% royalty on gross revenues of the wind farm,
with the potential to increase the royalty to 2% based on the actual
performance of the wind farm; and
-- Wind Park Burg 1 is the first project to start construction with Wind
Works' wholly-owned affiliate acting as turnkey general contractor.
"This sale re-enforces our strategy of acquiring advanced-stage projects in Germany, adding value by arranging project financing, finalizing permitting, organizing construction, and then selling for a gain", comments Dr. Ingo Stuckmann, Wind Works' President and CEO." Acting as turnkey contractor for Burg 1 complements our current development activities in Germany. We have 3 other projects in Germany with PPAs totaling 27MW, and we look forward to repeating this success with these projects over the course of 2012/13."
