Western GeoPower Corp., (TSX VENTURE:WGP) (FRANKFURT:WE6.F) a renewable energy
development company, today announced it has arranged up to $25 million in equity
funding by way of a non-brokered private placement of 100,000,000 Units (the
"Units") at a price of $0.25 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share
and one transferable share purchase warrant exercisable into one common share
for a period of 24 months from closing at a price of $0.45 per share during the
first 12 months and $0.50 per share during the last 12 months.


The funds will be used for the ongoing drilling and development of the 35 MWe
Western GeoPower Unit 1 geothermal project at The Geysers geothermal field in
California and for general working capital.


"This funding is intended to satisfy the requirement for additional equity
resulting from the increase in plant capacity from 28 MWe to 35 MWe as announced
April 9, 2008," said Kenneth MacLeod, President and CEO of Western GeoPower.
"With construction scheduled to commence in Spring 2009, the focus will shift to
securing a construction loan for the balance of the project financing."


The warrants are subject to an acceleration provision, which provides that, if
the Company's shares trade at $0.50 or more for ten consecutive trading days
during the first year or $0.55 or more for ten consecutive trading days during
the second year, it will trigger a 30 day timeframe within which to exercise the
warrants or they will expire.


A finder's fee of 6% payable in Units, is applicable on a portion of the
proceeds. The private placement is subject to regulatory approval and the Units
will be subject to a four-month hold.
