Americas Wind Energy Corporation Announces Several New Orders for Windturbines.

TORONTO -- Americas Wind Energy Corporation ("AWEC" or the "Company") (OTCBB:AWNE) is pleased to announce the receipt of several new orders for windturbines.

Americas Wind Energy Inc., the Company's Canadian subsidiary, has recently sold its shares in Emergya Wind Technologies B.V., the proceeds of which were used by the Company to completely retire its loan from Digital Predictive Systems Inc. ("DPS"). The Company is now debt free and retains its exclusive license for the Direct Drive technology for North America. The repayment of the loan from DPS is anticipated to be a positive transaction for the Company. Now, the Company has received several new orders for windturbines.

The Company believes that the Direct Drive technology is gaining market acceptance as more customers recognize the benefits of having a windturbine without a main drive gear and without the problems associated with gear drives.

Orders have been received from Wind Vision, an Iowa-based Owner/Operator, and related parties for two AWE 54-900 windturbines.

Orders have also been received from two electric utilities, Waverly Light and Power in Waverly, Iowa, for two AWE 54-900 windturbines and Rural Electric Convenience Cooperative in Camp Point, Iowa, for one AWE 54-900 windturbine.

This brings the Company's recent orders to six, including the previously announced windturbine for the Wray School District in Wray, Colorado.

The Company continues to be very active in the U.S. Midwest.
