Hamburg, 9 April 2009. Nordex is
installing another wind farm in Italy: key-account customer Falck 
Renewables has ordered 15 wind power systems, type N80/2500, with a 
total effective output of 37.5 MW for the "San Sostene" project in 
the region of Calabria. These are being supplied under a master 
agreement signed by Nordex and Falck in 2008, in which up to 250 MW 
can be called in by 2011. Nordex will be delivering and erecting the 
15 turbines for "San Sostene" as of July 2009. The wind turbine 
manufacturer signed the contract with Eolica Sud Srl, a subsidiary of
Falck. It also covers Premium service for a period of at least nine 
years.
The "San Sostene" wind farm is located near the village of the same 
name in the Calabrian province of Catanzaro. The 15 Nordex turbines 
are an extension of the first construction phase, which is already in
the process of installation. The wind farm is due to be completed at 
the beginning of next year. The turbines will be erected in a 
mountainous region at elevations of between 950 and 1,200 metres - an
attractive location with superior wind speeds. Here the 15 N80/2500 
strong-wind turbines are able to generate an annual energy yield of 
approximately 80 gigawatt hours, sufficient to provide 20,000 
households with electricity and simultaneously avoiding green house 
gas emissions of approximately 80,000 tons.
The order for "San Sostene" contributes to the satisfactory trend in 
new orders with which Nordex closes the first quarter of this year. 
In this period the wind turbine manufacturer obtained orders with 
guaranteed funding worth a total of around EUR 234 million. At EUR 
193 million, particularly the month of March saw orders rise to a 
high level. To compare: the figure in the fourth quarter of 2008 was 
EUR 80 million. Order receipts were thus up considerably on the 
previous quarters. "Demand from our customers continues to be strong.
However, it is above all gratifying to note that they are 
increasingly able to finance their projects via lending banks," says 
Nordex CEO Thomas Richterich.
Nordex - a profile As a technological leader among suppliers of 
megawatt turbines, Nordex benefits particularly from the global trend
towards large-scale wind turbines. The product range includes one of 
the largest series wind power systems in the world (N80/N90/N100, 
2,500 kW) with more 1,000 of these turbines having been produced to 
date. This means that Nordex has a crucial edge in terms of 
experience in operating large turbines compared to most of its 
competitors in the sector. Overall, Nordex has installed a more than 
3,700 turbines with a capacity in excess of 4,800 MW around the 
world. With exports accounting for over 95 percent of its business, 
Nordex AG plays a key role in international high-growth regions. The 
company has offices and subsidiaries in 18 countries around the 
world. In total, the Group employs about 2,200 people worldwide.
Falck Renewables - a profile Falck Renewables develops and operates 
wind farms in the four core markets of the United Kingdom, France, 
Spain and Italy. In addition to this, the London-based company plans 
to establish itself with wind farm projects in the new markets of the
future. Since its foundation in 2002, Falck has already put around 
400 MW on grid.
