“Good Energies has provided continuous support for the development and

said Guy Painchaud, President of Eolectric.

As a result of the transaction, the remaining shareholders of Eolectric

been involved in the development, construction and operation of wind
farm projects throughout Canada and Mexico since 1994. With various

stage wind power projects in Canada and Mexico totalling an aggregate
capacity of 2,000 MW. Eolectric, located in Brossard, Quebec, lives by
high standards of social and environmental acceptability.

be developed by Eolectric’s affiliates or by other third party
developers. Eolectric Club L.P. comprises the following investors:

construction and operations of the Vents du Kempt wind farm. The
project reached financial close on June 10, 2013 and is currently under
construction in Causapscal and Sainte-Marguerite-Marie, in the regional
county municipality of Matap dia, Qu bec. The 101 MW project, which
