Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 15 December 2010. Nordex USA
announced today an order with wind

farm developer RPM Access for a 41 Megawatt wind farm in Delaware County
Iowa, just weeks after finalizing a 75 Megawatt order with EverPower Wind
Holdings. Nordex´ new manufacturing plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas will
produce the turbines. The contract includes a 10-year premium service
contract, as well as the delivery, installation, commissioning and testing
of 17 Nordex N100 turbines.

The Elk Wind Farm is Nordex´ first project with RPM Access, and represents
the second order Nordex has received since dedicating its plant in October.
The project strengthens a growing local workforce in Arkansas that has
reached over 70 new hires already, with the potential of increasing to 700
over the next four years, in accordance with the market.

"RPM Access is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable developers in
the Midwest," said Ralf Sigrist, President and CEO of Nordex USA. "And as
Nordex is also a pioneer in wind, working together was a real meeting of
minds. We share the same passions - building new energy sources for the
future, bringing cost predictability to a volatile electricity market and
using the best technology available to achieve these goals."

Elk Wind is a construction-ready project slated for completion in October
2011. RPM Access will own and operate the wind farm, and Central Iowa Power
Cooperative will purchase the power via a 20-year power purchase agreement.
Based in West Des Moines, RPM Access has initiated the development of six
operating wind projects in Iowa, representing 370 Megawatts, over the past
10 years and has a robust project pipeline.
"The Nordex model N100 is a near perfect match for the wind regime found at
the Elk Wind site in North East Iowa," said Stephen Dryden, Principle of
RPM Access. "In our diligence, we found Nordex´ global record for
reliability, efficiency and service to be a key selling point that will
help us maximize power output. We are also extremely happy to be sourcing
American-made turbines that support American jobs, as well as to bring more
green energy to the Midwest."

Iowa is the second largest generator of wind energy in the US, producing
nearly 20% of its electricity from wind with over 3,500 Megawatts
installed. Iowa has been able to significantly reorder its energy portfolio
by way of forward-thinking public policies, including a requirement that
utilities offer the opportunity to purchase green energy to their
customers.

Nordex has both completed and planned installations in several states,
including Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Maryland, Colorado and now
Iowa. Currently, Nordex´ largest US order to date - 150 Megawatts/60
turbines - is being installed at BP Wind Energy´s Cedar Creek wind farm in
Colorado.

Nordex - a profile
As a technological leader among suppliers of megawatt turbines, Nordex

turbines. The product range includes one of the largest series wind power
systems in the world (N80/N90/N100, 2,500 kW) with more 1,300 of these
turbines having been produced to date. This means that Nordex has a crucial
edge in terms of experience in operating large turbines compared to most of
its competitors in the sector. Overall, Nordex has installed a more than
4,200 turbines with a capacity in excess of 6,000 MW around the world. With
exports accounting for over 95 percent of its business, Nordex also has a
strong position in international high-growth regions. The company has
offices and subsidiaries in 18 countries. In total, the Group employs more
than 2,400 people worldwide.
