RENO, Nev., Nov. 7, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- EPOD International Inc. (the "Company," "EPOD") (Pink Sheets:EPOI) (Frankfurt:EDU), a Grid-Integrated, eco-power utility and electric power systems provider, has received site approval from the Thunderbay Power Corporation for a 13 Megawatt solar power facility located in the Thunderbay area.
