TORONTO--(Marketwire - 03/22/10) - Atlantic Wind and Solar Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AWSL) is pleased to report that it has been approached by various groups to quote on multiple wind and solar projects in India and discussions are continuing. Last fall, India's Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) announced a strategic move to use a comprehensive system of feed-in-tariffs (FIT) to advance this major developing economy's renewable energy potential. With 1.1 billion people and extraordinarily rapid economic growth, it is now clear that the growth potential for efficient Renewable Energy systems in India is enormous.

India's FIT Program

The introduction of India's FIT program (following India's previously announced National Action Plan on Climate Change that called for five percent of electricity generation in India to be from renewable sources by 2010 and to increase one percent per year for the next ten years) provides a framework for rapid growth in the adoption and development of Renewable Energy in the foreseeable future. Key elements in the Indian program include the following:

  • Includes all Renewables
  • Tariffs based on cost of generation plus profit (19% ROE)
  • Contract terms: 13 years
  • Contract term for Solar PV & Solar Thermal: 25 years
  • Contract term for hydro < 3MW: 35 years
  • Wind tariffs based on resource intensity
  • First review within three years, except for solar PV which begins after one year
  • Market size: ~1.1 billion people

Opportunity for Atlantic Wind & Solar Inc. in India

AWSL's advanced CIT technology has prompted numerous enquiries, including one company (Royal Commonwealth Trading Corporation) that has strong political ties in both India and Canada (both Commonwealth countries with similar laws in terms of structure) with a view to representing AWSL in India for purposes of marketing Atlantic Wind and Solar's CIT technology by implementing the Company's business model in India, under that country's new FIT program. It is envisioned that such a proposed arrangement would encompass both wind and solar projects using AWSL's high-efficiency CIT technologies.

"This is a particularly attractive time for Canadians to enter the Indian Energy market. In June 2008 Canada and India signed a foreign investment promotion and protection agreement (FIPA) which has lead to higher investment flows. When we work closely with Canada's export development corporation, we catch some of their momentum, which has gone up over 600% over the last few years. Couple this with India's serious 10% deficit in electricity megawatts, the opportunity for Atlantic Wind and Solar is obvious."

...Chairman- Royal Commonwealth Trading Corp, The Honorable Mr. Sinclair Stevens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_Stevens).

AWSL... Poised for Growth

The acceleration of orders, financing, and other developments in the past few months augurs well for Atlantic Wind and Solar's business and overall growth in 2010. The Company intends to further expand in 2010 through strategically targeted acquisitions such as Wednesday's AIM Global Energy Inc. announcement.

AWSL is also in advanced discussions regarding a new international distribution network focused on global markets. Atlantic Wind and Solar Inc. is also involved in discussions regarding additional technologies and prospective agreements aimed at broadening the Company's exposure to growth in the multibillion dollar Renewable Energy industry.

AWSL management is optimistic that the progress achieved over the past 12-18 months in establishing the Company as a leading developer in the Ontario Renewable Energy market has positioned Atlantic Wind and Solar for rapid growth and enhancement of shareholder value in the foreseeable future.

Looking Ahead

As powerful new Renewable Energy incentives through tax treatments, grants and generous feed-in-tariffs are introduced in the America's and abroad, AWSL plans on fully leveraging its relationships, business model and proprietary technology to capture a significant share of these dynamic emerging markets.
