BUSINESS STRATEGY & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

The Company uses a four point methodology to acquire “low hanging fruit” project sites:1. Identify Transmission Capacity: using MDU grid capacity data, the Company locates

underutilized existing transmission lines and determines the available capacity 2. Conduct Topographical and Meteorological studies: the Company identifies ideal project

sites along transmission lines with free capacity3. Land Lease Options: the Company negotiates favorable lease options with land owners

and erects met towers throughout optioned sites4. Wind Capacity Detail: the Company measures wind capacity for several years to determine

a sites aggregate wind capacity at various heights and locations, uses third party to conduct formal wind report

The Company’s objective is to site, develop, build, and operate a portfolio of optimal ROI wind power projects in the Midwest, U.S.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES:• First mover is a barrier to entry as transmission capacity is an absolute limit• Greenfield projects already in a position to block out other competitors at the sub-100 MW

park size• Distributed generation across an East-West axis is inherently advantageous to a balanced

and constant load• Fully leverage local relationships with vendors, contractors, regulators

SPTW CONFIDENTIAL 5

USE THE BEST MIX OF OFF-TAKE• Three ways to off-take (sell) generated electricity:

– PPA (Purchase Price Agreement) – a long term (typically 10 or 20 yrs) purchase agreement setting the price at which a utility will purchase power; not currently favored by MDU

– QF (Qualified Facility) – PURPA (Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act) mandates that a utility must purchase electricity from an independent producer (QF) at the utilities marginal cost (set annually by the PUC), which currently stands at $36/MWH

– Merchant or LMP (Locational Marginal Price) – an open market in which independent producers can sell their power under the auspices of OATT (Open Access Transmission Tariff)

• MISO (Midwest Indep. Sys. Operator) establishes a market that has spot market with 5-min price updates, and a day-ahead market, updated hourly.

• Pricing for merchant supplied energy on the spot market changes every 5 minutes, but has been trending upwards over the past three years (to about $48/MWH):

To maximize revenue, seven categories of variables are used to determine the mix of day-ahead commitments vs. spot mkt:

− Predicted power generation (24-hr forward view) based on meteorological data

− Predicted demand (24-hr forward view) based on meteorological data

− Time of day− Time of year− Prices of competitive generation (coal, natural gas)− Absolute level of spot and day-ahead prices− Spread between spot and day-ahead prices

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY REVOLUTION

Spurring Economic Development• For every megawatt (MW) of wind energy produced, $1 million in economic development is generated.

This includes revenue from planning, construction, etc. • Wind energy revitalizes rural communities by providing steady income through lease and royalty

payments to farmers and other landowners.• Jobs: Wind energy resources bring needed jobs to rural communities and bolster farm incomes against

bad weather. Worldwide, wind and solar industries are likely to be one of the main sources of new manufacturing jobs in the 21st century.

• Consumer Benefits: Wind energy costs for consumers are low and stable. This is particularly beneficial for those on fixed incomes.

• As wind energy production becomes more efficient, costs will decline, while fossil fuel prices are expected to rise.

Environmental and Health Benefits• Low emissions: Reduces smog and eliminates a major source of acid rain; could reduce total US

emissions of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) by 1/3 and world emissions by 4%. • Potential for growth: Development of just 10% of 10 of the windiest states could provide more than

enough energy to displace emissions from coal-fired power plants.• Cleaner air means healthier air, especially for people with respiratory disabilities.• Coal-fired generation is the number one user of fresh water in the US... more than agriculture

National Security• Potential to significantly reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil imports

MARKET TRENDS

Chart Source: NREL www.nrel.gov/features/0108_winds_model.html

PROJECTED INSTALLED WIND CAPACITY (GW)RECENT PROGRESS:• 5.4GW of installed wind power capacity

in 2007, increased total wind capacity by 45%*

• As of Q208, the U.S. has over 19GW of installed wind power capacity*

• Globally, wind power capacity rose 27 percent in 2007 to 94GW*

• 48 Billion kWh are expected to be generated by U.S. wind farms in 2008*

• Equaling just over 1% of the U.S. total electricity supply*

• Powering the equivalent of over 4.5 million homes*

20% BY 2030:• The U.S. DOE 20% Wind Energy by 2030 Technical Report (www.20percentwind.org) finds that wind power can

supply 20 percent of America’s electricity by 2030**• U.S. energy consumption projected to grow at 39% through 2030 to 5.8 billion MWh (source EIA)• 20% wind power in 2030 would require an increase of 280 GW in wind power over 21 years

Production Tax Credit (PTC):

• Created under the Energy Policy Actof 1992

• $20 per MWh income tax credit for utility scale wind facilities in serviceby Dec. 31st 2009

• PTC can be attributed to a “tax investor”

• Established to increase economic viability of wind power projects for developers

Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS):

• State level legislation that varies in scope by state, has been adopted by 26 states (see next slide for map)

• Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) 1 certificate per MWh generated by renewable energy producer, can be sold as off-set pricing depends on state RPS policy and subsequent market demand

• REC’s can range in value from $5 to $90 per certificate with an average of $20 per certificate

PROJECT MAP: WIND & TRANMISSION GRID


Wind park site development can take up to 3-12 months and cost $20 $42 million:‑1. Receive turbines -- thirteen 1.5 MW nameplate capacity turbines required for a 20 MW project

2. Reserve cranes and other scarce equipment.

3. Park materials – cables, collector system, SCADA (systems control and data analysis), turbine transformers

4. Substation construction (or upgrade) – obtain & install step-up transformer

5. Foundations – pouring concrete and conduits for electrical & grounding components

6. Erect towers – three tower sections (requires crane)

7. Place turbines – install nacelle and blades

8. Commissioning – testing for performance

9. Connect to transmission grid

CONSTRUCTION STEPS


GASCOYNE I: FIRST PROJECT CASE STUDY

• As its first project, CBWP intends to construct a 20MW wind energy facility named “Gascoyne I” in Southwest North Dakota

• The land lease for this project was signed in 2007, it gives the Company an option for a 40 year lease

– Terms: $2,500 per turbine $1,000/MW nameplate-capacity per year

• CBWP has finalized all requisite permitting for this project site

• The Company has been monitoring wind capacity using NRG systems equipment located throughout the site since November 2002, the site averaged a 41.2% wind net capacity during this period

• Based on the Gascoyne I wind net capacity, the project is reasonably expected to generate 72,000 MWH annually

• The Company has signed an interconnection agreement with MDU for this project which is located along a MDU 115 KV transmission line

• The total capital cost for the Gascoyne I project is estimated to be $36 million, currently the Company plans to use Gamesa G80 2.0 MW turbines for this site

• See slide 17 of this presentation for Gascoyne I Pro forma P&L

FINANCING STRATEGY

1. Raise ~$3 million in straight equity at a $13M pre-money valuation. (Use of proceeds: general corporate expenses to continue to develop new sites, secure land, etc.)

2. Complete S1 filing to allow CBWP to trade freely on the bulletin board (imminent)

3. Secure project finance for construction of first project (Gascoyne I)

4. Demonstrate viability of merchant model

5. Repeat project finance sequence for each successive project


INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY RECAP

• Early participation in the most explosive industry in the world today: alternative energy

• Very attractive valuation at this early stage

• Unique business strategy leverages local transmission capacity and specialized local meteorological/topographical expertise

• Excellent pipeline of projects already in development

• Underlying asset values at every stage of development, construction, and operation constitute liquidation value that protects investors on the downside

• Strong exit story: political environment, economic realities of rising fossil fuel costs, and public concerns over pollution and global warming all combine to make operating wind energy assets valuable to a variety of buyers.
