VANCOUVER, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Sky Harvest Windpower Corp.,
(OTCBB: SKYH) ("Sky Harvest" or "the Company"), welcomes the announcement by
SaskPower on October 28, 2009 of the Green Options Plan and the Green Options
Partners Program, which will add a further 200 megawatts (MW) of Windpower to
SaskPower's generation capacity.
Under the Green Options Plan, SaskPower intends to procure up to 175MW of wind
power from independent power producers. SaskPower has announced that a formal
Request for Qualifications to identify qualified bidders will be issued on
December 1, 2009. Further details of the Green Options Plan will be released
before the end of the year.
"This program delivers on the Saskatchewan Government's commitment to provide
the province with a reliable, cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable
power generation system. Windpower can meet these obligations and new
forecasting technologies are ever increasing the reliability of the resource."
said Chris Craddock, President and C.E.O. of Sky Harvest.
Sky Harvest Windpower Corp, through its subsidiary Sky Harvest Windpower
(Saskatchewan) Corp., is developing two utility scale wind farm projects in
Southwest Saskatchewan.
The Sky Harvest project near Birsay is at an advanced stage of design and
engineering, and is potentially at least a 150MW facility. A project of this
size could deliver enough electricity to supply 65,000 Saskatchewan homes. The
proposed project could provide up to 180 jobs during construction with a third
of those being primarily local opportunities.
Sky Harvest intends to respond to the Request for Qualifications when it is
released.

    ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF
    SKYHARVEST WINDPOWER CORP.
