SkyPower Corp.

Marathon Capital, LLC Retained By SkyPower Corp for Sales Process - Bids Due October 5th, 2009

Bannockburn, Illinois (ots/PRNewswire)

Marathon
Capital, LLC is pleased to announce it has been retained by  SkyPower
Corp., a Lehman Brothers Company, one of the leading independent
renewable energy developers in Canada, in the sale of its Development
Business comprised of all of SkyPower's wind and solar operating and
development assets. Additionally, Marathon is advising on the
separate but  concurrent sale of SkyPower's inventory of 134 GE
1.5xle wind turbines  (201MW). Marathon believes this process, which
is now underway, represents an  extraordinary opportunity to acquire
a significant wind and solar development  platform as well as certain
fully developed and late-stage assets. Separately  the Company's
turbine inventory represents substantial value relative to the
comparable primary market for wind turbines.
SkyPower has an extensive pipeline of renewable projects and
established  relationships across Canada among all levels of
government and with numerous  First Nations. SkyPower is also well
positioned to benefit from recent  government sponsored renewable
programs like the Ontario FIT (Feed in Tariff  Program) which is
expected to be launched in the next few weeks. The Company  has
developed 27.0 MW of operating wind projects and 9.0 MW of near
operating  solar projects. The Company has a truly robust development
pipeline which  includes 112.5 MW of projects which will move into
construction in 2010; over  2,900 MW of advanced wind and solar
development projects with a significant  concentration in the
strategic Ontario market, and over 5,000 MW of early  stage wind and
solar projects at varying stages of development. The Company  boasts
sizable Ontario exposure including 72 MW of Wind and 82 MW of Solar
Power Purchase Agreements with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA)
under its  Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program (RESOP). Early in
2009 SkyPower was  awarded an additional 64.5MW Power Purchase
Agreement in Ontario for a key  project in its portfolio.
Additionally, SkyPower has secured significant land  rights through
various landowner, crown land, and First Nations agreements,
including over 850,000 acres in the Ontario market alone and access
to up to  6 million acres of land across Canada.
In order to facilitate the transition through a sale process, the
Company, filed on August 12, 2009 for restructuring under the terms
of the  Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA). The court
approved the sales  process on August 25th, 2009. The process will
allow a buyer of any of the  Company's assets to purchase the assets
free and clear of encumbrances  pursuant to an Order of the Court.
Qualified purchasers, subject to the  execution of a Non Disclosure
Agreement, will receive a Confidential  Investment Memorandum,
comprehensive financial models and information, access  to an
extensive data room and a management presentation. The binding bid
date  for SkyPower's development business is October 5, 2009, as is
the binding bid  date for the turbine inventory.
Parties interested in participating in either process should
immediately  contact Robert Stefani or Ted Brandt at Marathon Capital
at +1-847-574-2670  or e-mail to  Skypower@marathon-cap.com.
