Hamburg, 23 May 2006. REpower Systems AG (WKN 617703) and the
French EDF Energies Nouvelles (EDF EN), a subsidiary of Europe's
largest energy supplier EDF, enlarged their framework agreement
which has existed since 2004. The contract now comprises the
supply of up to 140 wind energy turbines of the 2- megawatt class
to the European key markets of Germany, France, Belgium, Great
Britain, Italy and Portugal before the end of 2008. This corresponds
to a total capacity of up to 280 megawatts.

A project list for the supply of up to 140 turbines of the REpower
MM series has already been defined and has been fixed in the
contract. In total, this list comprises twelve projects which are
reserved for REpower and which are expected be realised in 2007
and 2008.

By signing the framework agreement, both companies envisage
extending their strategic partnership in connection with the
realisation of wind energy projects in the years to come.
Common business activities shall also be expanded to Eastern and
Southern Europe from 2008.

Once the contract has entered into force, the first projects
shall be the realisation of Luc sur Orbieu windfarms in France
(eight MM70 turbines in Département Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon
region) and the "Bicker" project in the UK (13 MM82 turbines in
Lincolnshire).

"Our high quality requirements are paying off. Again one of the most
important wind developers has chosen us as key supplier", comments
the CEO of REpower Systems AG, Prof. Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, after
having signed the contract and adds: "The partnership with EDF EN
is until now the most important step for our growth strategy. In
addition to this we can jointly enter attractive markets as e.g. in
Eastern and Southern Europe."

"The contract with REpower is a key for our development in Europe and
a natural milestone in our long-term relationship with one of
the leading turbine suppliers", says the COO of EDF EN, Yvon André.
