Marketwired
NACEL Energy Corporation (OTCQB: NCEN) (FRANKFURT: 4FC) ("NACEL" or
the "Company") today confirmed significant improvement in the
Company's financial statements was achieved during the first nine
months of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. Total debt
reduction during the period amounted to $1,335,499. Accounts
Payable was reduced by $245,837 to $61,464. Remaining debt
outstanding amounted to $1,195,226 of which a member of NACEL's
Board of Directors has advanced $460,753 on terms favourable to the
Company. NACEL anticipates further improvement will be reported
upon the release of its annual financial statements for fiscal
2010-11 to be filed at the end of June.
Shareholder Update
Following the appointment of Mark Schaftlein to the combined
role of Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer in April
2010, NACEL embarked upon a restructuring of its operations with a
focus on debt reduction. The restructuring included termination of
various consultants and management, other cost reductions and the
negotiation of a series of Notes with JMJ Financial of San Diego to
provide a new source of operating capital for the Company.
As a result of the restructuring efforts and the level of debt
reduction achieved during the first nine months of Fiscal 2010-11,
in January 2011, the Board of Directors of NACEL authorized the
acquisition of two blocks of the common stock of Crownbutte Wind
Power, Inc. (OTCQB: CBWP) of Mandan, North Dakota ("Crownbutte").
With this stock acquisition, NACEL became the largest shareholder
of Crownbutte.
Crownbutte developed and built the first utility scale wind park
in the Dakotas and most recently, built the two-phase 30 MW Diamond
Willow wind power facility near Baker, Montana. Twenty GE 1.5 MW
wind turbines are operating today at Baker, which is presently
owned by Montana-Dakota Utilities.
Subsequent to the Crownbutte stock acquisition, in February
2011, NACEL appointed Crownbutte's Executive Vice President, Terry
Pilling, Ph.D., to the position of Chief Operating Officer of
NACEL, thereby tasking Dr. Pilling with responsibility for the
combined wind project portfolio of NACEL and Crownbutte -- a total
of 13 wind projects in four States -- including three now ready to
be constructed in 2011 pending the execution of definitive turbine
financing. The Company cautions that while discussions with various
parties regarding this wind turbine financing are ongoing there is
no certainty these discussions will result in any financing
arrangements being concluded.
In May 2011, following the completion of the review of the
combined project portfolio by Dr. Pilling, NACEL determined it
would participate directly with Crownbutte in the development of
the 200 MW Gascoyne II wind power generation project. Gascoyne is
located on 1733 acres between the towns of Bowman and Hettinger in
North Dakota and is considered to possess among the best wind
characteristics in the nation for a wind power generation project.
NACEL then advanced funds directly to the Midwest Independent
Transmission System Operator, Inc. (Midwest ISO) to complete the
Feasibility Study for the interconnection of the Gascoyne II
project to the electric grid.
NACEL anticipates it will continue to invest further capital in
Crownbutte and will participate directly in other Crownbutte wind
projects in the future. NACEL will update shareholders and other
interested parties regarding the extent of NACEL's capital
investment in Crownbutte subsequent to the Company becoming the
largest shareholder of Crownbutte, following the filing of
Crownbutte's next quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
