Helix Wind, Inc. Receives $10.6MM Firm Order From South America

    SAN DIEGO, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Helix Wind, Inc., a San Diego, CA
based manufacturer of small wind turbines, today entered into a firm sales
agreement with EDAL RE, Inc., (Energy Development Argentina Limited), a
leading cell phone tower construction and services provider and renewable
energy distributor in Argentina.

    EDAL is a leading developer of distributed power generation solutions
for wireless communications towers in remote areas and in regions with
unreliable power supplies, as well as for irrigation and liquids pumping
applications. The company plans on targeting markets in Argentina, Uruguay,
Paraguay, Chile, Brazil, Aruba and the Antilles. The Agreement, which
provides for the purchase of at least 1,500 units over the next three
years, reflects the growing demand for renewable energy solutions in South
America, and the increasing cost of petroleum based mobile power
generation.

    "The flexibility of the Helix platform makes it ideal for a diverse
range of applications, from distributed off grid power generation to water
pumping for irrigation and drinking," says Helix Wind CEO, Ian Gardner.
"We're pleased to be partnering with a leader in this field in the South
American markets." Javier Wolcoff, President and CEO of EDAL, adds, "We
evaluated a number of vertical axis wind turbines before selecting Helix
for our customers. The flexibility of the platform, aesthetics of the
design, efficiency and durability, and the ease of installation were all
factors that contributed to our decision. We're excited about bringing such
an iconic and innovative product to South America."
