A Natural Energy Company  

Chinook Power Corp. was formed to develop, operate and deliver cost-effective, reliable, green electricity to commercial markets. This mission embraces a vision for industry operating in harmony with the environment to produce a clean global environment.

Chinook is focused on harnessing energy from wind and converting it to electricity for use by rural and urban communities as well as industry. The Company has secured investigative permits for high quality wind energy sites and is proceeding with feasibility work to confirm wind resource and energy production. These sites have the potential to meet Chinook's long term goal of developing and managing 200MW of wind energy and return exceptional value to stakeholders.

The term chinook is derived from an aboriginal word meaning "snow eater". A chinook refers to a warm dry wind on the leeward side of a mountain. As this air descends it is compressed and adiabatically heated. The warm, dry wind moves down-slope quite rapidly, and during the spring causes substantial melting of mountain snow packs.

Wind shear is the increase in wind speed at greater heights above ground - energy production is, therefore, increased by installing a turbine on a taller tower.
