Subtitle: • 84 facility sites were surveyed
• Important step in the preparation for the start of construction

Cuxhaven (euro adhoc) - 2nd July 2010 - The wind farm developer PNE
WIND AG (ISIN: DE000A0JBPG2) has completed another important step in
the preparation for the start of construction of the offshore wind
farm "Gode Wind II" in the North Sea. In the past few months, the
necessary building ground survey was carried out for the sites of all
planned 84 wind energy plants and the transformer station. Thorsten
Fastenau, manager of the offshore division and chief representative
of PNE WIND AG, explains the results: "The surveys were carried out
with a special boat in accordance with the building ground surveying
standards of the BSH (Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency). For
this, 84 cone penetration tests were made with an average survey
depth of 48 metres and 11 additional holes were drilled for the
removal of soil samples."

The survey was carried out by Fugro Consult GmbH with technical
support from two representatives of the foundation engineers
Steinfeld&Partner GbR, who also produced the survey concept. The work
in the project area about 40 kilometres to the north of the island of
Norderney took around 10 weeks. For the survey, the 111-metre-longe
offshore drilling ship "Fugro Saltire" was used, which among other
things has its own 150-ton crane on board and was placed into service
in 2008 especially for offshore deployments.

With the completion of this deep building ground survey at the sites
of the future offshore wind energy plants, an important step has been
taken in the framework of the concrete technical development of the
offshore project "Gode Wind II". Martin Billhardt, Chairman of PNE
WIND AG: "Together with our project partners, we are working very
intensively and on the most various levels to meet all the conditions
for the start of construction of this offshore wind farm project as
swiftly as possible. The successful survey makes us confident that it
will be possible to start the realisation of "Gode Wind II" in
2011/2012."
