Norderstedt (euro adhoc) - Nordex AG has since received the fifth new contract
for this year from the United Kingdom. The Company will now be supplying wind
turbines with an output of some 70 megawatts with a total value of around EUR 70
million to this country. The latest project concerns extensions to the "Crystal
Rig" wind farm with the addition of five N80/2500 KW turbines in a contract
worth EUR 10 million.

In 2003, Nordex had constructed 20 N80 turbines close to the small Scottish town
of Dunbar. With an installed capacity of 50 megawatts, "Crystal Rig" is one of
the largest wind farms in operation in the United Kingdom. "In my view, the fact
that Fred Olsen Renewables has opted for Nordex again testifies to the
confidence which it has in our technology," says Carsten Pedersen, COO Sales and
Marketing at Nordex AG.

And the wind farm developer is in good company. This year alone, two other
Nordex customers - including UK utility Npower - have opted for this turbine.
Generally speaking, what was decisive was the robust design of the turbine,
which is certified for strong-wind sites. In the past few months, Nordex has
received orders for 22 of its N80 turbines from the United Kingdom to join the
30 units already in operation there.

Including the projects under construction, Nordex UK has to date installed
roughly 200 megawatts worth around EUR 160 million. The Company is also
providing maintenance services for most of these turbines. Explains Pedersen:
"Our customers often attach key importance to OEM service, which is why we want
to further extend our service in the UK. In fact, we are currently holding
negotiations with a number of customers on new projects."

The United Kingdom is one of Nordex’s most important markets on account of the
strong projected growth. Experts assume that new installation of the industry
will expand in 2006 by around 40% to some 600 megawatts. Contrary to original
assumptions, demand is focusing on onshore turbines.
