TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - February 20, 2015) - Northland Power Inc. ("Northland") (TSX: NPI) (TSX: NPI.PR.A) (TSX: NPI.PR.C) (TSX: NPI.DB.B) (TSX: NPI.DB.C) is pleased to announce the closing of the sale of its 66.7% interest in the Frampton Wind Farm to Boralex Inc. The remaining 33.3% of the 24MW advanced stage development project is owned by the host municipality of Frampton, Quebec. Upon closing, Northland received consideration of approximately $11.5 million for its interest in the project.

Northland will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, and to fund a portion of its investments in Nordsee One and the Grand Bend Wind Farm.

Northland currently owns and operates two wind farms in Quebec totaling 228 MW, and remains committed to maintaining a strong presence in the province's renewable energy industry.
