Marathon Capital, LLC Retained By SkyPower Corp for Sales Process - Bids Due October 5th, 2009

Bannockburn, Illinois (ots/PRNewswire) - Marathon
Capital, LLC is pleased to announce it has been retained by SkyPower
Corp., a Lehman Brothers Company, one of the leading independent
renewable energy developers in Canada, in the sale of its Development
Business comprised of all of SkyPower's wind and solar operating and
development assets. Additionally, Marathon is advising on the
separate but concurrent sale of SkyPower's inventory of 134 GE
1.5xle wind turbines (201MW). Marathon believes this process, which
is now underway, represents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire
a significant wind and solar development platform as well as certain
fully developed and late-stage assets. Separately the Company's
turbine inventory represents substantial value relative to the
comparable primary market for wind turbines.

SkyPower has an extensive pipeline of renewable projects and
established relationships across Canada among all levels of
government and with numerous First Nations. SkyPower is also well
positioned to benefit from recent government sponsored renewable
programs like the Ontario FIT (Feed in Tariff Program) which is
expected to be launched in the next few weeks. The Company has
developed 27.0 MW of operating wind projects and 9.0 MW of near
operating solar projects. The Company has a truly robust development
pipeline which includes 112.5 MW of projects which will move into
construction in 2010; over 2,900 MW of advanced wind and solar
development projects with a significant concentration in the
strategic Ontario market, and over 5,000 MW of early stage wind and
solar projects at varying stages of development. The Company boasts
sizable Ontario exposure including 72 MW of Wind and 82 MW of Solar
Power Purchase Agreements with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA)
under its Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program (RESOP). Early in
2009 SkyPower was awarded an additional 64.5MW Power Purchase
Agreement in Ontario for a key project in its portfolio.
Additionally, SkyPower has secured significant land rights through
various landowner, crown land, and First Nations agreements,
including over 850,000 acres in the Ontario market alone and access
to up to 6 million acres of land across Canada.

In order to facilitate the transition through a sale process, the
Company, filed on August 12, 2009 for restructuring under the terms
of the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA). The court
approved the sales process on August 25th, 2009. The process will
allow a buyer of any of the Company's assets to purchase the assets
free and clear of encumbrances pursuant to an Order of the Court.
Qualified purchasers, subject to the execution of a Non Disclosure
Agreement, will receive a Confidential Investment Memorandum,
comprehensive financial models and information, access to an
extensive data room and a management presentation. The binding bid
date for SkyPower's development business is October 5, 2009, as is
the binding bid date for the turbine inventory.

Parties interested in participating in either process should
immediately contact Robert Stefani or Ted Brandt at Marathon Capital
