Vancouver, BC -- January 9, 2012 -- Western Wind Energy Corp.
-- (Toronto Venture Exchange -- "WND") (OTCQX --
"WNDEF"), is pleased to announce that on January
4th, 2012, it had erected the last and final turbine at its
Windstar Project, Tehachapi, California, bringing the total
installed capacity to the 120 Megawatt design capacity.
Regarding our negotiations for a new acquisition in the
southern United States, we can report that the area to
mention is Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico remains dependent for 2/3
of its electrical energy production on burning crude oil.
Western Wind expects to become a significant player in Puerto
Rico and provide long term clean energy solutions to Puerto
Rican residents offering energy independence and price
stability.
Jeff Ciachurski, President of Western Wind Energy states,
"this is a proud moment for Western Wind
stakeholders in achieving the completion of the final turbine
at Windstar."
