Norderstedt (euro adhoc) - Construction of Maryland´s first wind farm
has begun. Nordex USA, Inc. has been awarded an order for 20 N90 2.5
megawatt wind turbines to be installed at a 50-megawatt wind farm in
Garrett County, Maryland. The contract with developer and future
operator, Synergics, includes installation and a five-year
maintenance agreement.

Nordex will begin delivering and installing turbines in August, with
completion and commissioning of the project slated for December 2010.
The "Roth Rock" wind farm will generate about 124,000 megawatt hours
of electricity per year, which is enough to power nearly 11,300 homes
at rates that are cost-competitive with existing fuel sources. The
project will also provide a boon to local communities in the form of
significant tax revenue.

"The Roth Rock project proves that wind can sustainably and
affordably power our homes and businesses while benefiting local
communities," said Ralf Sigrist, President and CEO of Nordex USA.
"Nordex´s advanced turbine technology has made wind power a
competitive alternative to environmentally costly and finite fossil
fuels, and we are proud to be the first to help bring that advantage
to Maryland."

The 20 high-speed turbines will stand atop Backbone Mountain along an
undeveloped ridge stretching three miles (five kilometers). Located
in the western corner of Maryland near the West Virginia and
Pennsylvania borders, Roth Rock will displace about 107,000 tons of
carbon dioxide emissions in a region traditionally dependent on coal.

"We were fortunate to have Nordex as we went through the process of
bringing the first wind farm to Maryland," said Wayne Rogers, CEO of
Synergics. "Their support and the enthusiasm of our customers and
constituents have made this project possible. We chose Nordex for
its leading technology and proven track record - but we also
benefited from their expertise." Synergics, based in Annapolis,
Maryland, has been developing renewable power projects in the US and
worldwide for thirty years.

Purchasers of the wind power will include Delmarva Power, the
University of Maryland and other entities of the State of Maryland.

Roth Rock continues the trend in the US market toward large-scale 2.5
megawatt wind turbines, which carry higher efficiencies and yields
than traditional smaller models. Nordex built the industry´s first
2.5 megawatt turbine in 2000 and, with over 1,000 installed
worldwide, holds the longest track record for reliability in the
class. The company´s manufacturing plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas will
produce N90 and N100 models beginning this fall, positioning Nordex
to be a key player in the growing US market.
