Subtitle: Key agreements for the first major project awarded / new
subsidiary incorporated in Cape Town

Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Wind turbine manufacturer Nordex has entered
the South African market with a major contract. South African wind
power producer, Dorper Wind Farm (RF) Pty Ltd, whose sponsors are
South African based wind project developer Rainmaker Energy, through
its subsidiary Dorper Wind Development (Pty) Ltd, and its Japanese
partner Sumitomo Corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
have selected Nordex as supplier for the delivery and turn-key
installation of a 100 MW wind farm to be known as "Dorper".

Dorper Wind Farm (RF) Pty Ltd entered into a 20-year power purchase
agreement (PPA) with Eskom Holdings SOC Limited, a state-owned
utility company on the 5th November 2012. On the same day the company
entered into a contract with the South African Department of Energy
(DOE), under which the payment obligations of Eskom under the PPA are
guaranteed by the DOE. The financing agreements for the project with
different international and South African banks as well as Euler
Hermes, one of the leading export credit agencies, have been agreed.

Nordex will be commencing the construction work in the current month,
followed by the installation of the 40 N100/2500 turbines from the
third quarter of 2013 onwards. The order also includes a service
contract for an initial period of ten years.

"Dorper" is located north-west of Queenstown, in the Eastern Cape, on
a channeled plateau characterised by good wind speeds. In the
construction of the wind farm, the parties will be paying particular
attention to maximising local manufacturing content and employment.
Accordingly, Nordex will also be utilising the services of local
partners and setting up a permanent local service station. In
addition, it has recently established a subsidiary based in Cape
Town.

The "Dorper" wind farm is one of the first renewable energy projects
which the Department of Energy of South Africa selected in December
2011 and awarded a 20-year power purchase agreement. Further
tendering processes are to be held in 2013 in order to provide clean
and sustainable electricity supplies in the growth region of South
Africa.

"I am convinced that our South African company will make a key
contribution to modernising the region's power station base. Such
decentralised projects are important as they generate local
employment outside urban areas," says Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, a member
of Nordex SE's Management Board. In addition to the "Dorper"
reference project, Nordex qualified as a preferred supplier for a
further major project in South Africa in December 2011.
