WindTamer Announces Second Power on Demand System Order

ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- WindTamer Corporation ("WindTamer" or "the Company") (OTCBB: WNDT), a developer and manufacturer of wind turbines and renewable energy power storage and management systems and a supplier of solar energy systems, announced today that it has received an order valued at $319,000 from PGM Corporation for a Power on Demand renewable energy storage and management system.

Power on Demand is a proprietary, patent-pending system that is designed to utilize energy generated by wind turbines, solar PV or the grid itself together with a custom-designed battery storage system and a proprietary real-time "smart monitoring" technology to reduce peak demand charges, thereby lowering commercial electricity costs.  The "smart monitoring" technology monitors power usage in real-time and maintains electricity demand on the grid within optimal parameters in order to smooth power demand on the grid and prolong battery life.

The order represents WindTamer's second sale of a Power on Demand system.

Mark Matthews, WindTamer's Vice President of Sales & Marketing, said that, "Demand charges can represent 30 to 70% of a commercial electric bill.  These charges result from spikes in electricity demand that Power on Demand is designed to reduce.  For this reason, the payback or return on investment period to the customer on a Power on Demand system is far shorter than any stand-alone renewable energy system we are aware of.  We continue to expect that Power on Demand will be a major driver of a significant ramp-up in booked orders for WindTamer as the year progresses."

PGM Corporation, headquartered in Rochester, New York, is a full-scale contract manufacturing firm that makes high-quality precision parts and assemblies for military, medical, aviation, aerospace, power generation and other markets.
