Subtitle: 10 firm contracts for over 80 MW received

Company Information

Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 14 March 2013. The Nordex Group's
German business is continuing to grow - especially in the light wind
sector. In the first few weeks of the year, it gained new orders
comprising in total 84 MW for its N117/2400 wind turbine. Most of
these projects had previously been conditional order backlog, which
entailed around 300 MW at the end of 2012 in Germany alone and are
now firm as funding commitments have been received. This involves a
total of 35 turbines for ten wind farms in the German states of
Hesse, Bavaria, Thuringia, Rhineland-Palatinate and
Baden-Württemberg. The customers include Abowind AG, WSB, Planet
Energy GmbH (Greenpeace), Green City Energy and other citizen wind
farms.

To make optimum use of low-wind locations, Nordex is mostly
installing the N117/2400, which has been specially developed for such
wind sites, on top of hybrid towers with a height of 141 metres. All
the projects will be executed from summer 2013 onwards for completion
in the course of the year.

"With the N117/2400 in particular, we are making an important
contribution to keeping the costs of the renewable energy policy -
the 'energiewende' - in Germany in check. Turbines with a high
capacity factor of almost 40 percent mean that non-coastal locations
are economically viable, obviating the need for costly and
time-consuming grid extensions as they can be installed close to
where the electricity which they produce will be consumed.
Accordingly, I am pleased that we have received these contracts so
early in the year as discussion of possible changes to the tariffs
has caused unnecessary uncertainty in the German market. This is
despite the fact that it is common knowledge that politicians tend to
say more in election campaigns than they ultimately end up doing,"
says Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, Chief Customer Officer at Nordex SE.

Since the launch of series production in summer 2012, Nordex has
installed approximately 60 turbines.

About Nordex As one of the technological leaders in multi-megawatt
wind power systems, Nordex is benefiting from the trend in favour of
large-scale turbines. The Generation Gamma range comprises the
N90/2500, N100/2500 and the N117/2400, which is one of the most
efficient onshore turbines. To date, over 2,100 of these turbines
have been produced. 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, N117/30). 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.
