    MONTREAL, May 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - AAER Inc. (TSX-V : AAE)

wind turbines of 1 megawatt ("MW") and more, announced today that it has
signed an agreement for the delivery of one 1.5 MW wind turbine to the U.S.
Marine Corps Logistics Base in Barstow, California. The A1500 is scheduled
for delivery at the end of the fourth quarter of 2008.

on the West Coast of the U.S., a region with a long history of wind power
generation that offers substantial commercial opportunities for the
company" said Dave Gagnon, President and CEO of AAER. "We are also proud to
be working in cooperation with Southern California Edison, the United
States' leader in renewable energy." Southern California Edison is helping
to manage the installation of the turbine.
