ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 15, 2010 WindTamer Corporation ("WindTamer" or "The Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: WNDT) announced today that its 8.0GT wind turbine has been submitted to Intertek (LSE: ITRK) for testing, inspection and certification. Intertek, a global third-party testing company, tests wind turbines and provides data to determine product eligibility for incentive programs and for verification of compliance with national and international wind turbine safety and efficiency requirements.
Certification by a recognized, independent test facility will provide validation of our technology and will demonstrate our best-in-class performance. By meeting the requirements of not only AWEA but also IEC, WindTamer's reach and credibility into domestic and international markets will be greatly enhanced. In addition, certification by Intertek will allow our customers to take advantage of the available tax credits and other funding incentives from government agencies, such as the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ("NYSERDA"). These incentives will greatly enhance the value proposition and return on investment for our customers.
