Norderstedt (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 09 February, 2009. As of spring
this year, Nordex will be delivering a total of 21 N90/2500
High-Speed turbines for the wind farms "Inchincoosh" (Ireland) and
"Craigengelt" (Scotland). For "Inchincoosh" Nordex´s largest Irish
customer, the project developer SWS Energy, has ordered 32.5 MW. The
project "Craigengelt" wind farm was acquired by the global energy
company GDF SUEZ in autumn 2008. Nordex is to install 20 MW there.
Both orders also include five-year Service Agreements.

The "Inchincoosh" wind farm is to be built in the County Kerry in the
south-west of Ireland, near to the town of Kilgarven and the border
to County Cork. This project is an extension of the existing
"Kilgarven" wind farm. The turbines are to be erected at altitudes of
between 240 and 400 metres, making optimal use of the prevailing wind
speeds, which average 8.6 m/s at this location. The annual yield is
expected to come to 100 gigawatt hours.

"Inchincoosh" is already the second wind farm that Nordex has erected
for SWS Energy. The first project, "Knockawarriga", has been online
with 22.5 MW since July 2008 and is located in the County Limerick.
Here Nordex installed the first N90/2500 turbines on the emerald
isle. The successful handling of this project made it possible for
Nordex to immediately obtain a firm follow-up order from SWS.

"Craigengelt" is the first wind farm project by GDF SUEZ in Great
Britain. Nordex is erecting the turbines on the open upland moor
directly adjacent to the "Earlsburn" wind farm, which is operational
with 15 machines of the N80/2500 series. The site is near the city of
Stirling, to the North of Glasgow. Here the wind speed averages 8 m/s
and the annual yield is expected to come to 65 gigawatt hours.

GDF is not one of Nordex´s new customers either: this wind farm
operator previously placed an order with Nordex for the delivery and
erection of 30 N100/2500 turbines for a large French project next
year.

"The fact that SWS Energy and GDF Suez have called in turbines at
this time shows that solid projects are financed in economically
difficult times. We project a good capacity factor of more than 35
percent at the two sites. Furthermore, the markets offer attractive
purchase prices for renewable energy", says Carsten Pedersen, COO
Sales and Marketing at Nordex AG.
