Company Information

Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 28 January 2013. Nordex USA, Inc. and
Akuo Energy announced plans for construction of a new wind farm in
the Florida district of southern Uruguay, about 100 km (65 miles)
from the capital city of Montevideo. The project will feature 21
Nordex N117/2400 2.4 MW wind turbines on 91 meter towers. Nordex, a
leading global manufacturer of utility scale wind turbines, will be
responsible for delivery, installation and commissioning and for
ongoing maintenance for a minimum of 10 years under a Premium Service
Contract. This project has already been considered in Nordex' order
intake in December 2012.

The two companies have collaborated in the past on successful
projects in France. Ralf Sigrist, President & CEO of Nordex USA,
Inc., commented, "It is especially rewarding to extend our existing
relationship with Akuo to a new country and a new continent. We are
excited by the opportunities that Uruguay can offer as it fulfills
its commitments to a renewable energy future. We know that our
N117/2400, which is specifically designed for high yield in light
wind regimes, will help to maximize the potential. The resulting net
capacity factor for this site confirms how well-suited this turbine
is for the prevailing conditions."

The electricity produced by the project, enough to power 73,000
homes, will be deployed by Usinas y Trasmisiones Eléctricas (UTE),
Uruguay's state power company, under a 20-year power purchase
agreement with Akuo Energy.

Juan Negro, CEO of Akuo Energy Uruguay noted, "This is an exciting
time for Uruguay. We are happy to play a role as the country moves
forward with its plans to diversify its energy matrix and incorporate
wind energy as its primary source of renewable energy. We know from
our past experiences with Nordex that our two companies together will
deliver the quality and performance that UTE and the people of
Uruguay demand. We're pleased to be leading with the introduction of
the Nordex N117/2400 in Latin America."
