China Wind Power Breaks Ground for 198 MW Phase III Development

China Wind Power International Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CNW) ("China Wind Power" or
the "Company"), an independent wind power producer in China, has broken ground
on its 198 MW Phase III wind energy development planned for Du Mon County in
Heilongjiang Province. Foundation work is now underway to prepare for the
installation of the 132 wind turbines planned for Phase III. 


"Breaking ground at Phase III marks another milestone for our Company," said Mr.
Jun Liu, Chief Executive Officer of China Wind Power. "Importantly, with our
recently announced engineering, procurement and construction contract with a
world-leading turbine manufacturer, construction at Phase III is proceeding
under favourable financial terms with no immediate impact on our working
capital."


Construction at Phase III is expected to be completed by the end of the second
quarter of calendar 2012. When completed, the 198 MW project (to be comprised of
four wind farms, each with a total output of 49.5 MW) is expected to generate
approximately 400 million KWh per year.
