LONGUEUIL, QC, Oct. 1, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. (TSX: INE) ("Innergex" or the "Corporation") announces that it has terminated its agreement with Finavera Wind Energy (TSX-V: FVR) to acquire its 77 MW Wildmare wind energy project located in British Columbia, Canada.
Despite the efforts of both parties, several conditions of closing were not met by the prescribed closing date of September 30, 2012. The Corporation considers each of these conditions to be essential to the successful completion of the project. After careful consideration, the Corporation has decided not to extend the closing date because it strongly believes that doing so would not change the outcome within an acceptable period of time. Therefore, it has opted to terminate the purchase and sale agreement.
