Northland Power Income Fund ("Northland") (TSX:NPI.UN)(TSX:NPI.DB)(TSX:NPI.DB.A)
announced today that it has started site clearing for a wind farm to be located
in the Gaspesie region of Quebec near Mont Louis, about 150 km east of Matane.
The 100.5 MW Mont Louis project was awarded a contract in 2004 to supply power
to Hydro-Quebec under a 20 year Power Purchase Agreement. GE Canada is expected
to supply 67 GE 1.5sle wind turbines for the project.


The total cost of the project is expected to be $176 million, or $146 million
net after reimbursement of substation and interconnection costs by Hydro-Quebec.
Northland anticipates raising approximately $120 million of debt financing for
the project, with financial close expected in September 2010.
