WindWISDEM, a Ystrategies Portfolio Company, Announces Breakthrough Software-Based Repowering Solution for Wind Farms

Lowers Cost of Extending Production Tax Credits

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WindWISDEM Corp., a Ystrategies Corp. (OTC: YSTR) portfolio company and
cloud computing software service provider that optimizes wind farm
performance, today announced that it is launching a software-based
repowering service for wind farms looking to extend production tax
credits (PTC) for an additional ten years. WindWISDEM’s repowering
technology, available in 2018, delivers increased revenue from energy
production efficiencies for existing turbines, meeting IRS PTC
requirements at a fraction of the cost of purchasing expensive hardware
to extend PTCs.

According to Neil Cohen, Vice President of Marketing of WindWISDEM, the
new service reduces cost burdens on repowering wind farms that were
forced to consider replacing working production equipment to achieve the
necessary improvement thresholds required to extend PTCs, an
inefficient, expensive and often unnecessary process.

“WindWISDEM software has redefined how wind farm operators can repower,”
said Mr. Cohen. “Our innovative technology creates significant increases
in energy output and improved overall turbine efficiency and lifespan
without having to replace existing turbines unnecessarily. By leveraging
existing infrastructure with intelligent software, operators will be
able to quickly and inexpensively repower. It is critical to do this
now, given the reduction in wind energy prices and pending expiration of
the production tax credit in December of 2019. Securing an additional
ten years of PTCs at comparatively minimal cost is the common-sense
approach.”

Separately, WindWISDEM announced plans to hold a Wind Industry
Roundtable on wind farm repowering and efficiency this Fall in San
Francisco, California. To sign up for more information on the
