Earth Day Message from NaiKun Wind

22/04/2010 1:31pm

Marketwired Canada


NaiKun Wind Energy Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NKW) - 

As more than 1 billion people around the world participate in Earth Day
activities this year, British Columbians have an opportunity to reflect on their
province's potential to reduce harmful emissions that contribute to global
warming.


British Columbia's abundance of clean, renewable energy sources, including
projects like the one being developed by NaiKun Wind, can play a vital role in
combatting climate change.


NaiKun Wind Energy Group Inc. is developing Canada's first offshore wind energy
project, to be built in Hecate Strait between Haida Gwaii and Prince Rupert.


"Earth Day is one way to renew our individual and collective commitment to
improving the environment," said Paul Taylor, NaiKun Wind's President and CEO.
"Our project is an example of how we can meet the ever-growing demand for
electricity and simultaneously reduce our impact on the environment."


This year marks the 40th celebration of Earth Day, and the initiative is widely
recognized as a powerful catalyst for individual and local activities around the
world. Here in Canada, nearly every school child participates in an Earth Day
activity.


NaiKun Wind's 396MW energy project will harness the power of the strong winds in
Hecate Strait using 110 turbines installed several kilometres off the eastern
shore of Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands). Wind energy is one
of the cleanest, most abundant and cost-effective resources that can be used to
generate power.


"The NaiKun Wind project will produce enough clean, renewable power to meet the
electricity needs of 130,000 B.C. homes," said Taylor. "The project will also
help the province meet its targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
as well as the goal of electricity self-sufficiency."


In addition to creating a wide variety of local jobs, the project will support
economic development on Haida Gwaii and eliminate the islands' reliance on
diesel generators for electricity, thus displacing 26,000 tonnes of greenhouse
gas emissions on the islands each year.


NaiKun Wind Energy Group Inc. is a British Columbia-based renewable energy
company with offices in Vancouver, Masset and Skidegate. The company's primary
focus is the development of a 396MW offshore wind energy project which will
generate enough energy to provide electricity to 130,000 B.C. homes and play a
significant role in combating climate change. NaiKun Wind is committed to
working in partnership with First Nations and collaboratively with stakeholder
groups and local communities in the development of its project. For more
