CanTex Energy Completes Second Installment on Terms to Acquire 400 MW of Prime Wind Farm Leases Near Lubbock West Texas

CanTex Energy Corp.

 (PINKSHEETS: CTXE) announced today that it has completed the second installment of payments to WIND TEX ENERGY for the exclusive rights to lease an additional 30,000 acres (total of 56,000 acres) of leases to the Lynn and Lenorah wind projects with a total of 400 MW capacity. The company initially will apply for an Interconnect Agreement and use existing transmission line capacity with a Southwest Power Pool (SPP) Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) on the Lynn location. Both projects will be able to supply into ERCOT when the Central location of the competitive renewable energy zone (CREZ) transmission line is completed by early 2013, connecting at the Long Draw 345 Kv Switching Station in Borden County, Texas. (www.ercot.com -- CREZ Transmission Optimization Study). The project financing will require $25 M pre-construction and $810 M to construct the wind farms. Plans are to install 2.75 - 3.0 MW Turbines. The Garrad Hassan wind data analysis has a 39% production capacity on 180ft towers. This is expected to increase 20-30% on 240 ft towers for no additional capital cost/MW and lower operating costs/MW.

The Lynn Project on 26,000 acres near New Lynn, Lynn County Texas will have an installed wind energy capacity of 180 megawatts, estimated annual average energy yield of 615,000 MW per hour.

The Lenorah wind project on 30,000 acres is located 20 miles east of Midland, Texas. It is adjacent to a currently operating wind project. All project land is leased with a wind energy capacity of 220 MW, estimated annual average energy yield of 750,000 MWhr.
