Sauer Energy Announces Upcoming Entrepreneurial Opportunity With Wind

NEWBURY PARK, CA--(Marketwire - May 1, 2012) - Sauer Energy, Inc. ("SEI") (OTCBB: SENY), a developer of home and enterprise scale vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) systems, is pleased to announce its development of Community Wind Projects featuring its wind turbine products. The concept is to generate energy from a strategically placed cluster of turbines in a low wind area while remaining close to an existing grid.

In response to the consumer's needs, Sauer Energy is developing economical ways to generate electricity on a larger scale. Utility companies are mandated to produce electricity by renewable means. From wind, it has been primarily generated by large scale megawatt horizontal turbines. Sauer Energy intends to provide a more compact and more easily affordable alternative, on a commercial scale, that can be privately owned and placed closer to the areas where more energy is consumed with less of a loss due to distance between the power producer and the grid. Utility companies can benefit by purchasing the energy generated to meet their quotas or by offsetting usage. Private owners can benefit by utilizing the energy generated or by selling it to the utility company.

A Community Wind Project is an asset that can be owned by an individual or a small local group. A Project can contain a few units or a considerable number of units which can affect the amount of energy generated. The frequency of wind and wind speed will likewise help determine the break-even point. The 30% federal incentive in place now has no limit as to the number of turbines on one parcel of land. The state and local incentives may vary. Therefore, the return on investment (ROI) will vary in correlation to all pertinent dynamics.

The benefits of a Community Wind Project will include a source of clean energy that displaces CO2 emissions and provides environmentally friendly, energy independence and protection from the volatile prices of fossil fuels. It can transform rural or urban land into a revenue stream and foster hope for the future by expanding entrepreneurial ingenuity.

"Sauer Energy will be accelerating the early adoption of wind energy with technical approaches to low wind areas. Community Wind Projects come at a critical stage for local municipalities to meet future demand, secure jobs and present the potential for the spirit of free enterprise to prosper. We are working relentlessly to bring this opportunity to market in the near future. Follow our progress on our website," stated Dieter Sauer, CEO and President of Sauer Energy.
