Hamburg, 6 July 2006. REpower Systems AG (WKN 617703) has been
commissioned to supply 29 wind turbines by the Australian company
Pacific Hydro Pty Ltd. Pacific Hydro is one of the largest Australian
companies in the wind and water power sector. MM82 turbines have been
chosen for the "Portland Stage II" project in the South-Eastern
Australian state of Victoria and have a total rated power of 58
megawatts. The Stage II project is part of a larger wind farm
development in the Portland area, which has a planned total output of
195 megawatts and covers four different locations.

The 29 turbines each have an output of two megawatts and a hub height
of 69 metres and are scheduled to be installed at the end of 2007. A
decision is yet to be made on the allocation of the orders for the
remaining stages of the Portland wind energy project.

"This is the second largest order for REpower so far", said Prof.
Fritz Vahrenholt, Chairman of the Executive Board. "It shows that we
are heading in the right direction with our orientation towards
important growth markets abroad - including beyond Europe, such as in
Australia. The contract with Pacific Hydro puts us in a very good
position for more projects 'Down Under'."

Rob Grant, CEO of Pacific Hydro, adds: "We are pleased to be signing
an agreement with REpower for the supply of 29 wind turbines for our
Portland development and we hope this order represents the start of a
mutually beneficial relationship in the years to come." REpower is
represented on the red continent by its subsidiary REpower Australia
Pty. Ltd. It has already successfully completed its first project
with the installation of the Wonthaggi Windfarm at the end of 2005 -
the turnkey installation of a wind farm with a total rated power of
12 megawatts, comprising six type MM82 turbines. The Wonthaggi wind
farm is located in South Gippsland, around 100 kilometres south-east
of Melbourne.
