Composite Technology's DeWind Secures Rights to Develop 620 MW Wind Farm

Wind Farm Projects to Use DeWind D8.2 Turbines

Composite Technology Corporation (CTC) (OTCBB: CPTC) is pleased to announce that its DeWind subsidiary has entered into agreements with Higher Perpetual Energy LLC to form DeWind SWI Wind Farms, LLC, (SWI Wind Farms) to develop four wind farms in Texas totaling up to 620 megawatts of electrical energy capacity.

SWI Wind Farms plans to develop four wind energy projects in the Texas panhandle consisting of Little Pringle One (10 MW), Little Pringle Two (10 MW), Big Pringle (200 MW) and Palo Duro (400 MW). DeWind, Inc. intends to supply wind turbines to the projects at agreed upon prices, subject to cost escalators, and Higher Perpetual Energy is committing to perform further development services. The projects should generate in excess of 2 billion kilowatt-hours of clean energy per year when they are completed.

DeWind has begun discussions with certain investors that have expressed interest in participating in the wind farm projects in exchange for ownership positions, tax benefits, and income from the power sales. DeWind initially will be the 51% controlling member of SWI Wind Farms and SWI Wind Farms has made arrangements with contractors to begin construction of the first 10 MW farm.

"We are excited about this new opportunity to supply our DeWind turbines for 620 megawatts of wind farms and look forward to participation in the enhanced value of the projects as they progress through each stage of development," commented Benton Wilcoxon, CEO of Composite Technology. "We see SWI Wind Farms as an opportunity to leverage our turbine supply and secure the opportunity to add value through development that should effectively increase the margin for each turbine produced and sold into the wind farms."

About CTC:

Composite Technology Corporation, based in Irvine, California, USA, develops, manufactures and sells innovative high performance electrical transmission and renewable energy generation wind turbines through its subsidiaries:

--  DeWind Inc. designs, produces, and sells the DeWind series of wind
    energy turbines, including the new 2 megawatt (MW) D8.2 model available in
    both 60Hz and 50Hz; the 2MW D8 model in 50Hz; and the 1.25MW D6 model in
    50Hz. The new D8.2 has been operating since early 2007 at Cuxhaven,
    Germany, and utilizes the advanced WinDrive® hydrodynamic torque
    converter developed by Voith AG in combination with a synchronous AC
    generator with high voltage output that is connected directly to the grid
    without the use of power conversion electronics. The first 60Hz D8.2 is now
    operating at Sweetwater, Texas, where it will initially be used for
    demonstration to North American customers. DeWind D8.2 turbines are now
    being assembled at TECO Westinghouse Motor Co., in Texas for our North and
    South American customers.

--  CTC Cable Corporation produces composite rod for use in its patented
    ACCC* (Aluminum Conductor Composite Core) conductors, which are "high
    efficiency conductors" for use in electrical transmission grid systems.
    ACCC conductors demonstrate less electricity line losses when compared with
    conventional conductors and when deployed in place of conventional
    conductors on existing systems, the higher efficiency of ACCC conductors
    enables power generators to reduce the amount of power they must generate
    while still delivering the same power to the customers.  They have also
    demonstrated significant savings in upgrade capital costs and operating
    expenses when substituted in grid systems for other conductors. ACCC
    conductors enable grid operators to reduce blackouts and brownouts,
    providing a 'reserve electrical capacity' by operating at higher
    temperatures without significant thermal sag of the lines. ACCC conductors
    are an innovative economical solution for reconductoring power lines,
    constructing new lines and crossing large spans. ACCC composite core is
    delivered to qualified conductor manufacturers worldwide for local ACCC
    conductor production and resale into local markets.
