Subtitle: Supply of 295 MW for projects by Skelleftea Kraft AB

Norderstedt (euro adhoc) - Nordex has signed a frame work agreement
with the municipally-owned utility Skelleftea Kraft AB, Skelleftea,
to supply a total of 118 turbines in the N100/2500 series. The
project concerned is "Blaiken", which with 250 megawatts (MW) is to
be the largest wind farm in Sweden, and the two forerunner projects
"Jokkmokksliden" (25 MW) and "Storliden" (20 MW). The projects are
located in the county of Västerbotten, in the North of Sweden, where
wind speeds reach 7 metres per second with phases of permafrost. This
is why Nordex will be supplying its turbines in the "Cold-Climate"
version and using a new type of de-icing system for the rotor blades.

Nordex will install the first machines this year in order to be able
to connect the two smaller projects to the grid in 2011. This is to
be followed by the start of building for the large "Blaiken" project.
Preparations are already underway for the 100 installations in order
to ensure that the deadline is met. Because Skelleftea Kraft has set
itself some ambitious targets. Together, the three projects now
commissioned are to generate more than 700 GWh of "green" electricity
a year.

"Skelleftea Kraft is a strong and important partner for our
activities in Scandinavia. And this order also shows that we have
adapted our product well to the climatic conditions in Sweden", says
Carsten Pedersen, COO Sales and Marketing at Nordex SE. This is also
demonstrated by reference projects that Nordex has installed through
its subsidiary in Sweden. In the last two years alone, the Group has
put wind farms with a volume of more than 120 MW on grid there. "We
have chosen Nordex after a very thorough examination of the market
for wind turbines. Besides that they are competitive in price and
quality, they demonstrate good practice and attitude on the
challenges ahead in the projects", says Anders Järvelä, VP Electrical
Generation and Sales at Skelleftea Kraft AB.

The Swedish government has substantially raised its targets for
extending the use of wind energy with a view to meeting the climate
protection targets set by the European Union. For instance, as early
as 2015 wind farms are to feed in at least 10,000 GWh of electricity.
Experts expect some 3,000 MW of new generating capacity to be built
over the same period. Around 1,500 MW were in operation at the end of
2009.
