Subtitle: Twelve N100 turbines for Texas / first joint project

Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 19 December 2011. Nordex USA, Inc.
announced a new order from developer WKN USA, LLC, a BayWa Group
Company, for its 30 MW Mozart Wind Farm. The 12 Nordex N100/2500 wind
turbines on 80 meter towers will be located about 60 miles northwest
of Abilene, Texas, in an area that led the country in wind energy
installations over the last decade. The N100´s proven performance
record makes it an excellent fit for the site´s IEC Class IIa wind
regime.

WKN USA is well-known for its track record of developing and
constructing high quality wind farms. Based in San Diego, it became
the first German developer to successfully develop and construct a
commercial size wind project in the United States. In August 2011,
BayWa AG through its wholly owned subsidiary BayWa r.e GmbH acquired
a majority stake in WKN USA. This marks the first turbine order in
the United States for BayWa, continuing its success in the European
renewable market.

"We are very pleased to begin working with Nordex in the US. We have
always valued the quality of their turbines, their engineering
expertise and their creative solutions," commented Florian Zerhusen,
Founder & CEO of WKN USA, LLC. "We see this order as a first step in
extending the success of both of our companies in the American
market."

Nordex will begin delivery of the turbines in late August 2012 and
will be responsible for their installation and commissioning.
Commercial operation is scheduled for mid-December and an Extended
Service contract with a 2-year term has been agreed. The turbines
will generate enough energy to power about 9,000 homes. The nacelles
will be produced at Nordex´ new plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

"We are honored that WKN has selected Nordex for the Mozart Wind
Farm. They are widely respected as an international leader in turnkey
renewable energy projects and undertook a rigorous review of our
technology and our capability," said Ralf Sigrist, President & CEO of
Nordex USA, Inc. "As a growing global company, we know it is
important to solidify our existing business connections while we
continue our expansion in the Americas."

By the end of this year Nordex will have installed 447.5 MW of its
2.5 MW turbines in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Colorado, Idaho and Iowa and around 4.300 MW of such turbines
worldwide since the year 2001.
