USA - EarthFirst announces B.C.'s first commercial wind turbine delivery

Eight Vestas 3 MW turbines delivered as the first phase of the project

EarthFirst Canada Inc (EarthFirst)has announced the delivery of British Columbia’s first ever commercial wind turbines to the 144 MW Dokie I wind project site, near the town of Chetwynd in northeastern B.C.

Eight Vestas 3 MW turbines were delivered as the first phase of the project, to be installed by the end of 2008. The remaining 40 turbines are scheduled for installation in 2009. When completed the 144 MW Dokie I wind project will generate enough renewable energy to power approximately 34,000 B.C. homes.

“This is a significant milestone in renewable energy for the Province of British Columbia,” said Linda Chambers, President and CEO of EarthFirst Canada Inc. “The turbines arrived exactly on time and overall project construction is proceeding on schedule.”

“This is the outcome of 6 years of work by a team of B.C. stakeholders, governments and resource managers,” said Ron Percival, a founding director of EarthFirst. “We thank the communities of Chetwynd and local First Nations for their leadership and support of the project.”

EarthFirst is a leading Canadian developer of wind energy projects, with a portfolio of over 2,500 MW of potential renewable energy initiatives. This includes the 144 MW Dokie I project under construction. EarthFirst expects to tender an additional 226 MW of fully permitted projects into the recently announced British Columbia Clean Power Call. Common Shares and Warrants of EarthFirst Canada Inc. are listed on the TSX under the symbol EF and EF.WT respectively.
