Project Location:
The Shuteye Creek Wind Project is located about 20 miles west of Kirksville, Missouri.  The project will be located in both Adair and Sullivan Counties.

Project Interconnection:
The project will interconnect to the Ameren UE 161 kV transmission line in Adair County.

Project Size:
300 MW

Project Turbines:
To be determined.

Landowners and Acreage Involved:
Approximately 60 landowners and 30,000 acres will be involved in both phases of the project.

Commercial Operation:
We anticipate the Shuteye Creek Wind Project will be in commercial operation in 2009 or 2010.

Utility Buyers:
The power produced by Shuteye Creek Wind Project will be sold to Missouri regulated and non-regulated utility companies.

Project Developer:
The developer of the Shuteye Creek Wind Project is TradeWind Energy, LLC (“TradeWind”), which is headquartered in Lenexa, Kansas. The senior managers of TradeWind have a combined 80 years experience in the independent power development business including acquisitions and project development across the United States, Europe, Canada, and the Caribbean, as well as significant regulated utility experience.

Key Project Attributes:

1. Shuteye Creek is believed to be the most energetic site of any wind project in development in the eastern half of Missouri.
2. The project will take approximately two percent of land out of service to build, including all land for roads, turbine foundations, and maintenance buildings. The rest of the approximately 30,000 acres leased for the project will still be farmed and ranched exactly as it was prior to construction.
3. The project, when all phases are complete, will have some 60 landowners participating and collecting royalty payments from the project.
4. The project will utilize significant local labor and materials for its construction and operations and enjoys broad community and county agency support.
5. The project will generate significant economic benefits to the local community, in addition to the large number of landowners that are participating in this project.
6. The project (Phase I and Phase II) will offset approximately 900,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, 3,000 tons of NO_x per year, and 4,000 tons of SO₂ per year.
7. This will be one of the largest wind projects in Missouri, producing enough power for about 90,000 Missouri households.
