Joint Ventures/Cooperation/Collaboration

Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Nordex USA Inc. has entered into a joint
venture with Beebe Community Wind Farm LLC, a Michigan project
developer, for the co-development and construction of a wind farm in
Gratiot County, Michigan.

The project was initiated in 2007 by local resident Mark Hull,
Principal of Beebe Community Wind Farm LLC. Hull brought on Nordex
last year to support project development as well as to supply 125 of
Nordex´ new N117-2.4 MW turbines, which are designed specifically for
low wind sites and are derived from the established Nordex 2.5 MW
class. The N117 boasts the longest rotor blade in its category,
resulting in an average 15% yield increase over previous products.
The turbines will be manufactured at Nordex´ recently constructed
plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

"We were initially interested in Nordex´ turbine technology for our
class-3 wind site," said Hull, "but including them in the project
team has considerably accelerated our development efforts. Wind
projects require specialized expertise in several complex areas, so
having Nordex on our side has been a true asset."

The partnership expands Nordex´ track record for robust customer
support offerings to the United States. "As a turbine manufacturer,
we consider it important not only to provide reliable and efficient
turbines, but also to support our customers in the course of project
development," said Ralf Sigrist, President and CEO of Nordex USA.
"Nordex has added value to developers in Europe through such
partnerships for almost 10 years, and we are happy to bring this
service now to our US customers."

The Beebe Community Wind Farm takes a community-based approach that
spreads economic benefit among local land owners through land leasing
arrangements and to the greater community through tax revenue. More
than 20,000 acres of land have been leased. The project has
interconnection positions on a 345 kV line, and has been granted its
Special Use Permit from the county. Wind has been measured on the
site for more than two years with met towers and SODARs, and
continued environmental studies support the project´s feasibility.
Power sale discussions are ongoing with several potential off-takers.
The start of phase one construction is targeted for 2012, with
further phases slated for 2013 and 2014.

Nordex has both completed and planned installations in several
states, including Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Maryland, Iowa,
Idaho and Colorado. The Arkansas facility will fill all future
orders, shipping turbines to wind farms around the country.
