Sea Breeze Power Corp.: Strait of Juan de Fuca Transmission Cables; September 14-15, 2005 Launch of 'Open Season'.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Sea Breeze Power Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SBX) -

Auction for 1100 MWs of Capacity on Proposed New International HVDC Light(TM) Transmission Lines between Washington State and British Columbia

Sea Breeze Power Corp., on behalf of Sea Breeze Pacific Juan de Fuca Cable, LP is pleased to announce that an "Open Season" for 550 MW each of transmission capacity and ancillary services made available via two new proposed submarine cables across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is scheduled to commence on September 14, 2005. Two conferences for potential bidders will be held to kickoff the Open Season, one in Vancouver, BC on September 14, 2005, followed by a second meeting to take place September 15, 2005 in Portland, Oregon. Further details on the time and location of the meetings will be posted on www.jdfcable.com.

Societe Generale will manage the Open Season process, and subsequent negotiations with the selected parties.

The routing for the cables calls for one line to run between Port Angeles on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula and Victoria on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, with a second line to run between Fairmount on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula and a terminus located in the Vancouver metropolitan area. Permitting on the first line is well underway with application submissions expected before the end of the year. The target in-service date for the first cable would allow it to be on-line for the winter peak loads in 2007 with the second line to follow as soon as 2008. Both lines would provide for bi-direction power flow. When built these two cables are expected to significantly enhance inter-regional power flows and significantly augment the regional transmission systems.

The interconnecting utilities will be Bonneville Power Administration ("BPA") in Washington State, and British Columbia Transmission Corporation ("BCTC") in British Columbia. The project has been under development since October 2003, with the first interconnection filings made with BPA and BCTC in June 2004. An application for a Presidential Permit was filed in February 2005, and BPA's "Transmission Interconnection System Impact Study" was completed August 15, 2005.

The project would utilize HVDC Light(TM) cable and converter systems - leading-edge technologies characterized by low line losses, capability to provide high levels of voltage stability, and minimal impact on marine environments.

The project has received equity financing from US Power Fund, L.P., a subsidiary of Energy Investors Funds ("EIF"). Following completion of project development, planned for September 2006, EIF has an option to provide the balance of the equity required for the project. Societe Generale will advise on arranging project debt.

Capital Access, LLC, of Seattle, Washington has acted as placement agent for the US Power Fund, L.P. transaction, and in concert with Societe Generale, has been appointed financial advisor to the project.

Sea Breeze Pacific Juan de Fuca Cable, LP, a special purpose entity, is equally owned by Sea Breeze Power Corp. based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Boundless Energy NW, Inc, of York Harbor, Maine (an affiliate of Boundless Energy, LLC).

A positive response to an application filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for authority to conduct the Open Season is expected shortly.
