Cuxhaven (euro adhoc) - Cuxhaven/Chicago, January 13, 2009 - Kelly
Lloyd, an experienced manager in the development of projects in the
renewable energies sector, will become the General Manager of
Plambeck New Energy USA, Inc. effective as of January 15, 2009.

"With Kelly Lloyd we have found a very experienced manager in the US
wind power market", says Martin Billhardt, the Chairman of the
Management Board of Plambeck Neue Energien AG, with regard to this
personnel decision. Based on his extensive experience Kelly Lloyd
will develop, position and manage the US business of Plambeck Neue
Energien AG from its headquarters in Chicago. "We are very glad to
have an expert of his calibre on board", Martin Billhardt continues.

Prior to his employment at Plambeck Neue Energien AG, Kelly Lloyd
worked with the project developer enXco Inc., a US subsidiary of EDF
Energies Nouvelles S.A., for more than ten years in various
positions. Most recently he acted as Chief Financial Officer, where
he assured financing in excess of $ 500 million for the development
and construction of projects. Within the context of the purchase of
companies, he was furthermore responsible for the acquisition of wind
power projects with a total capacity of 200 MW.

Already back in October 2008, Plambeck Neue Energien AG had
established its fully-owned subsidiary Plambeck New Energy USA, Inc.
for the development of wind power projects in the US, one of the most
attractive future wind power markets. The company sees significant
opportunities for growth in the American wind energy market both in
the medium and long-term, as the development and construction of wind
farms is being supported more and more by the USA. The Chairman of
the Management Board, Martin Billhardt explains that "it is our
objective to take under contract and to develop together with joint
venture partners wind farm projects with a nominal output of up to
2,500 MW in the US within the next three years."

In total, industry experts anticipate a definite double-digit growth
rate in the American market until the year 2012, so that the
installed output will triple to more than 57,000 MW. According to
this estimate, the USA will develop into the largest market for wind
energy worldwide in the future. Especially states like Florida, Texas
and California are expected to become pioneers in this field.

With the market entry into the USA, Plambeck Neue Energien AG
continues to pursue its strategy of international expansion. The
company is already represented in a number of further growth markets
via joint ventures in Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Great
Britain and Ireland as well as a participation in the development of
a French wind farm. Currently Plambeck Neue Energien AG works on wind
farm projects with a capacity of up to 1,430 MW in these countries,
which should be realised in the medium term.

Corporate profile:

Plambeck Neue Energien AG with its headquarters in Cuxhaven plans and
implements wind-farm projects on land (onshore) and at sea
(offshore). The key competence of the company is the development,
projecting, implementation and financing of wind-farms and their
operation and sale with subsequent service. Up to now, the enterprise
has set up 84 wind-farms with 479 wind-energy systems and a total
nominal output of 651 MW.

In Germany (onshore) wind-farm projects with a nominal output of more
than 400 MW are being processed, of which 120 MW are already under
construction.

Over and above this, Plambeck Neue Energien AG develops offshore
wind-farm projects, of which two major projects in German waters have
already been approved. Entry to promising foreign markets is also
being examined for the offshore area.
