Sauer Energy Begins Signing Distributors for Its WindCharger(TM) Turbine

NEWBURY PARK, CA--(Marketwire - Apr 16, 2012) - Sauer Energy, Inc. ("SEI") (OTCBB: SENY) the developer of the patented WindCharger™ Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT), announces it is in process with signing of its first 25 regional Distributor Partners for sales and installations. WindCharger™ is a unique wind turbine that generates power at as little as 5-mph (2.2 m/s). With its compact size, WindCharger™ is suitable for residential and commercial roof tops as well as large scale commercial power farms, in what Sauer Energy calls "Windyards," and new unconventional locations such as communication and utility tower locations.

Sauer Energy is now selecting applications for regional Distributors in North America as it begins to ramp up its plans for high rate production. "We are certainly encouraged and appreciative of the strong response we've had already for distributorships. The pent up demand for the WindCharger has been stronger than we anticipated. We are now reviewing and processing the first of our Distributor Partners and we will be working to meet that demand," commented Dieter Sauer, CEO and President of Sauer Energy.

Sauer Energy is committed to being a driving force and work proactively to enhance and support the distribution network to keep customer service a priority. This network will be poised to provide the market penetration necessary for full sales potential. In the near future, there will be a communication link for customers to connect with their local distributor on the Sauer Energy website.

WindCharger™ is a new generation of highly efficient wind turbine that has a very low profile with environmental and aesthetic advantages over the large, horizontal windmills. WindCharger™ is available for new and retrofit installations for homes and buildings and can co-exist with locations that have solar panel installations.

At present, the WindCharger™ intends to bring efficient, reliable, safe and virtually noiseless renewable energy to counteract the high-cost of electricity with an opportunity to help the environment. The Sauer Energy team has taken extra time and great care to help ensure that high quality and craftsmanship accompany each turbine that is delivered. Sauer Energy plans to continue to develop the innovative solutions and relationships to bring the consumer the best possible products.
