power yields

Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Up to 32 percent greater nominal output
Up to 37 percent increase in rotor sweep
Higher towers for IEC-1 and IEC-2 locations

Hamburg, Vienna, 4 February 2013. Nordex SE is unveiling the fourth
generation of its proven multi-megawatt platform at the European wind
power conference EWEA, which is taking place on 4-7 February 2013 in
Vienna. With its larger rotors, increased nominal output and
optimised technical systems, Generation Delta is setting new
standards in terms of economic efficiency, reliability,
serviceability and safety. Uniting proven Nordex technology with
specific enhancements, the range comprises turbines for medium (IEC2)
and strong wind speeds (IEC1). In this way, the company will
particularly be targeting wind markets in the United Kingdom and
Ireland, Scandinavia, France, Turkey and Northern Germany, broadening
its existing Generation Gamma range with the addition of highly
efficient systems for windy locations.

"With Generation Delta we have reached a new stage of evolution based
on our proven multi-megawatt technology. Our foremost goal was to
lower the electricity production costs. The new Nordex multi-megawatt
turbines achieve an increase of up to 31 percent in yields, making
them a particularly worthy investment," says Dr. Jürgen Zeschky, CEO
of Nordex SE.

Nordex's Generation Delta comprises the N117/3000 with an installed
capacity of 3.0 MW for medium wind speeds. This is a 20 percent
increase in nominal output over its predecessor. Designed for
locations characterised by high wind speeds, the N100/3300 has an
installed capacity of 3.3 MW, resulting in a more than 30 percent
increase in nominal output. The higher nominal output of these
turbines has a positive effect on energy yields. Yet, despite this
substantial increase in output, sound power levels have remained
stable in both wind classes.

At the same time, substantially larger rotors are being used in both
wind classes. Thus, the rotor diameter of the N117/3000 has grown by
17 metres, resulting in an increase of around 37 percent in the rotor
sweep and significantly higher efficiency with around 10 percent
higher number of full load hours. The N100/3300 has a rotor diameter
ten metres larger than its predecessor, driving the swept area of the
rotor up by 23 percent and contributing to even higher energy yields.

In addition, the Generation Delta's turbines come with taller hub
heights per wind class, enabling additional gains in annual energy
production and opening up complex forested sites for wind turbine
installations. Thus, Nordex is offering a steel tube tower with a hub
height of 120 metres for medium wind-speed locations for the first
time. The N100/3300 is now also available on a steel tube tower with
a hub height of 100 metres for strong-wind sites.

Nordex has also improved its product offering substantially for cold
regions. Generation Delta comes with Nordex's Anti-Icing system for
the 58.5-metre rotor blades fitted to the N117/3000 and also for the
N100/3300. This is a first for strong-wind locations. This system
heats the aerodynamically most important surfaces of the rotor
blades, thus reducing ice formation efficiently. As a result, Nordex
customers are able to rely on secure yields from their wind turbines
and maximum availability in low-temperature regions.

Generation Delta has been designed to ensure particularly swift and
safe servicing. This lowers costs during operations. A spinner, which
completely encapsulates the rotor hub, ensures quick and safe access
to this part of the turbine. The turbine nacelle is a particularly
safe and spacious workplace and features extended escape and rescue
routes. Automatic lubrication of the pitch bearing raceways does away
with the need for manual attention to this matter, thus further
reducing and shortening on-site maintenance requirements.

Nordex starts to deliver Generation Delta turbines at the beginning
of 2014. Initial projects involving the N117/3000 and N100/3300 are
being installed from mid 2013.

About Nordex As one of the technological leaders in multi-megawatt
wind power systems, Nordex is particularly benefiting from the trend
in favour of large-scale turbines. Generation Gamma comprises
N90/2500, N100/2500 as well as N117/2400, the benchmark-setting
turbine for light wind sites. To date, over 2,000 turbines of this
platform have been installed around the world. This experience with
multi- megawatt turbines gives Nordex a decisive lead over most of
its competitors. With Generation Delta, Nordex is now offering the
fourth generation of its proven multi-megawatt platform (N100/3300,
N117/3000).

Nordex has installed a total of around 5,100 turbines with an
aggregate capacity of more than 8,100 MW all around the world. With
exports accounting for more than 85 percent of its business, Nordex
SE plays a key role in international high-growth regions. The Company
has offices and subsidiaries in 22 countries around the world with a
total global headcount of over 2,500 employees.
