(OTC Bulletin Board: JUHL), the Leader in Community Wind Power, today announced today that the Company's wholly-owned service subsidiary recently added a contract to provide the full operations and maintenance to the Woodstock Hills wind farm located in Woodstock, Minnesota.

"The addition of the Woodstock Hills service business is something we had planned for after the turbine warranty period expired," stated Dan Juhl, CEO of Juhl Wind. "When we develop wind farms, we always plan to provide the operations and administrative services on a long-term basis. In our newly developed wind farms, we are also adding long-term contracts for the system maintenance. All of these service contracts ensure the long-term integrity of the wind farms for our farmer-owner groups while providing Juhl with predictable, annual revenue streams. This contract represents about a 20% increase to our existing service business."
The Woodstock Hills wind farm was developed by Juhl Wind years ago and represents one of the first community wind farms built in the U.S. The wind farm is located near Juhl's headquarters in Woodstock, MN. The system includes 17 Vestas V-44 turbines that have been in operation for approximately 10 years.
