BUSINESS STRATEGY & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
The Company’s objective is to site, develop, build, and operate a portfolio of optimal
ROI wind power projects in the Midwest, U.S.
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 capacity
   3. Land Lease Options: the Company negotiates favorable lease options with land owners
      and erects met towers throughout optioned sites
   4. 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

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

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):
                     $60
                     $56
                                                                                                                     To maximize revenue, seven categories of variables are used
                                                                                                                     to determine the mix of day-ahead commitments vs. spot mkt:

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
RECENT PROGRESS:                                                       PROJECTED INSTALLED WIND CAPACITY (GW)
•    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*                                                   Chart Source: NREL www.nrel.gov/features/0108_winds_model.html

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

WIND ENERGY LEGISLATION
Production Tax Credit (PTC):
   • Created under the Energy Policy Act
     of 1992
   • $20 per MWh income tax credit for
     utility scale wind facilities in service
     by 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):
                                                                Source: AWEA www.awea.org/legislative/#PTC
   • 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

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.

Crownbutte Wind Power, Inc. Overview (Equity) May 09

  • 1. Crownbutte Wind Power Management Presentation May 2009 Presented by Strasbourger Pearson Tulcin & Wolff (SPTW)
  • 2. CROWNBUTTE WIND POWER -- BACKGROUND • Crownbutte Wind Power (“CBWP” or the “Company”) was founded in 1999 as a wind power consulting firm, the Company is based in Mandan, ND • Since inception, CBWP has advised regional utilities and independent wind power developers including: • Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. (MDU) • Suzlon Wind Energy • Boreal Wind Energy (since acquired by Wind Energy America) • Basin Electric Power Cooperative (BEPC) • Notable past projects include: • 20 MW wind farm in Buffalo Ridge, MN - Advisor • 19.5 MW wind farm in Baker, MT – consulting overseer; sale to MDU • 2.6MW wind farm in Chamberlain, SD – Turnkey sale to BEPC SPTW CONFIDENTIAL 2
  • 3. CBWP MANAGEMENT Timothy H. Simons—President & CEO Tim has been involved in the wind power industry since 1996. Serves on the Upper Great Plains Transmission Coalition formed (by the Governors of 3 states) to address electrical transmission problems in order to better utilize coal, hydro, & wind resources, and serves as co-chairman of the Transmission Bottleneck Committee. Tim spent over 5 years on active duty in the U.S. Army, and worked in Europe for Robert Bosch GmbH, as well as other companies. He has also spent over 10 years as a teacher in the Mandan/ Bismarck area. Tim has a degree in Social & Behavioral science from the University of Mary, attended graduate school at Creighton University, and is a graduate of the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA. Manu Kalia—CFO Manu brings 13 years of high tech and financial management experience to Crownbutte. He has served at senior management levels as: CEO of Promana Solutions Inc. (web services), CFO of ARC International PLC (semiconductors), CFO of Tradeworx Inc. (statistical-arbitrage financial analytics/ hedge fund), and CEO of Open Source Creations Inc. (online collaboration). Prior to that, Manu spent time as an investment banker for Commonwealth Associates, as an analyst for Sanford Bernstein, and as a manager at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Manu holds a Bachelors in Engineering Sciences (cum laude) from Dartmouth College, and an MBA from the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth. Dr. Terry Pilling, Ph.D.—Director of Operations and Technology Terry received his B.S. (Honors) in Physics and Engineering Physics at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, his M.S. in Nuclear Physics at the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory, and his Ph.D. in Particle Physics at the North Dakota State University, winning the Physics & Engineering Physics Convocation Award.

  • 4. BUSINESS STRATEGY & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE The Company’s objective is to site, develop, build, and operate a portfolio of optimal ROI wind power projects in the Midwest, U.S. 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 capacity 3. Land Lease Options: the Company negotiates favorable lease options with land owners and erects met towers throughout optioned sites 4. 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 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 4
  • 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.

  • 6. 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 SPTW CONFIDENTIAL 6
