Norderstedt (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, March 30, 2007. Nordex AG has received its
largest Italian order to date. In a project worth around EUR 80 million, Nordex
will be supplying the "Minervino Murge" wind farm in the Puglia region. The wind
farm is owned by Eolo 3W Minervino Murge Srl a subsidiary of Falck Renewables
Limited. The contract provides for the delivery of 26 N90/2300 kW turbines. With
a height of 125 metres, the turbines will ensure optimal use of the prevailing
wind conditions. Located at an elevation of almost 600 metres, the turbines will
produce approximately 100 million kilowatt/hours a year, sufficient to supply
around 40,000 households. At the same time, the wind farm will avoid around
86,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

"In addition to the technology, the many years of favorable collaboration with
Falck Renewables were of decisive importance for this contract," explains
Carsten Pedersen, COO Sales and Marketing at Nordex. Nordex is already building
three large projects for Falck Renewables in the UK with the similar turbine
models for a combined capacity of 125 megawatts. Falck Renewables a subsidiary
of the Italy-based group Falck SpA develops and operates numerous wind farms in
the UK, France, Spain and Italy. Falck Renewables Italia has a capacity of
around 350 MW under development with local partners.

Work on "Minervino Murge" is to commence in April, with the wind farm to go into
operation at the end of February 2008. Explains Pedersen: "As Italy is
increasingly evolving into an important market for us and we want to build up to
140 MW of new capacity for our customer this year, we have strengthened the
personnel resources of our Milan-based subsidiary in the project management and
all-important after-sales service segments."

With an installed capacity of more than 2,100 MW, Italy is the largest wind
power market in Europe after Germany, Spain and Denmark. As well as this, the
remuneration system currently provides for one of the highest rates for
electricity produced from wind power.
