Brookfield Power Completes Financing for Prince Wind Assets

GATINEAU, Québec, November 30, 2007 – Brookfield Power Inc. (BPI) announces the closing of a C$300 million bank facility in connection with its 189-MW Prince Wind Project through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Brookfield Power Wind Prince Financial Corporation. Proceeds of the financing will be used to repay the existing construction credit facility for Prince Wind.

Prince Wind, the largest operating wind farm in Canada with 126 wind turbines situated on nearly 20,000 acres overlooking Lake Superior northwest of Sault Ste. Marie, is capable of producing enough clean, renewable energy to power 40,000 homes annually. The wind farm was commissioned during the fourth quarter of 2006 and has been fully operational for one year. All the energy produced by Prince Wind is sold to the Ontario Power Authority under long-term power purchase contracts expiring between 2026 and 2028.

Prince Wind is being financed with a five year floating rate bank facility, which is secured by the Prince Wind assets and is non-recourse to BPI. Payments of interest and principal will be made quarterly pursuant to amortization matched to coincide with the termination of the last power purchase agreement in 2028. BPI intends to substantially hedge the bank facility’s floating interest rate to a fixed rate.

The financing was provided by a syndicate of lenders co-led by The Bank of Nova Scotia and Dexia Credit Local S.A, and was pre-syndicated as of financial close to include ABN Amro N.V., Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Fortis Capital and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation of Canada.
