Company Information
Subtitle: order intake
Construction of Maryland´s first wind farm
has begun. Nordex USA, Inc. has been awarded an order for 20 N90 2.5 
megawatt wind turbines to be installed at a 50-megawatt wind farm in 
Garrett County, Maryland. The contract with developer and future 
operator, Synergics, includes installation and a five-year 
maintenance agreement.
Nordex will begin delivering and installing turbines in August, with 
completion and commissioning of the project slated for December 2010.
The "Roth Rock" wind farm will generate about 124,000 megawatt hours 
of electricity per year, which is enough to power nearly 11,300 homes
at rates that are cost-competitive with existing fuel sources. The 
project will also provide a boon to local communities in the form of 
significant tax revenue.
"The Roth Rock project proves that wind can sustainably and 
affordably power our homes and businesses while benefiting local 
communities," said Ralf Sigrist, President and CEO of Nordex USA. 
"Nordex´s advanced turbine technology has made wind power a 
competitive alternative to environmentally costly and finite fossil 
fuels, and we are proud to be the first to help bring that advantage 
to Maryland."
The 20 high-speed turbines will stand atop Backbone Mountain along an
undeveloped ridge stretching three miles (five kilometers). Located 
in the western corner of Maryland near the West Virginia and 
Pennsylvania borders, Roth Rock will displace about 107,000 tons of 
carbon dioxide emissions in a region traditionally dependent on coal.
"We were fortunate to have Nordex as we went through the process of 
bringing the first wind farm to Maryland," said Wayne Rogers, CEO of 
Synergics. "Their support and the enthusiasm of our customers and 
constituents have made this project possible.  We chose Nordex for 
its leading technology and proven track record - but we also 
benefited from their expertise." Synergics, based in Annapolis, 
Maryland, has been developing renewable power projects in the US and 
worldwide for thirty years.
Purchasers of the wind power will include Delmarva Power, the 
University of Maryland and other entities of the State of Maryland.
Roth Rock continues the trend in the US market toward large-scale 2.5
megawatt wind turbines, which carry higher efficiencies and yields 
than traditional smaller models. Nordex built the industry´s first 
2.5 megawatt turbine in 2000 and, with over 1,000 installed 
worldwide, holds the longest track record for reliability in the 
class. The company´s manufacturing plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas will 
produce N90 and N100 models beginning this fall, positioning Nordex 
to be a key player in the growing US market.
