Helix Wind's S322 Turbine Helps Power School On Island of Malta

San Diego, CA – Nov. 17, 2009 – Helix Wind Corp. (OTCBB: HLXW), a global renewable energy company, announced today that a model S322 wind turbine has withstood gale-force winds after being installed on a primary school on Malta, an island located in the Mediterranean Sea between Italy and Africa. Installed in September on the Pembroke Primary School, the turbine is part of a six-month test, which, if successful, could result in the installation of S322 turbines atop 40 other schools on the island.

In addition, Helix Wind announced it is installing another S322 on Malta to power a center at a government-owned plastics recycling plant. The S322 was chosen particularly for its superior low-noise performance, since the existing horizontal wind turbine from another manufacturer was causing unsatisfactory levels of noise pollution. The installation is part of the Maltese Government’s dedication to fostering wind energy projects that reduce energy costs and pollution on the island.

“Helix Wind’s quiet, scalable and beautiful wind turbines are going global,” said Scott Weinbrandt, chairman and president of Helix Wind. “In addition to these units on Malta, Helix Wind is currently delivering turbines for installation in Sweden, Ireland, France and Italy.”

The Pembroke Primary opened in September as part of the Maltese Government program called Foundation of Tomorrow Schools, which funds alternative, efficient and cost-effective approaches to developing and upgrading Maltese schools.

Godfrey Formosa, managing director of environmental consultant and Helix Wind distributor Di Natura, said, “The 322 has already shown it can stand up to Malta’s gale-force winds and we are looking forward to participating in the Maltese government’s farsighted vision to capitalize on the island’s wind resources. At Di Natura, our motto is ‘Think Beyond’. We believe the future is now, and our lives will depend on it. More importantly the lives of our children, and their children, will be dependent on the choices we make today.”
