quarterly report

Subtitle: •	Sale of the “Gode Wind” projects makes significant contributions to
turnover and results

Cuxhaven (euro adhoc) - 5th November 2012 - The wind farm project developer, PNE
WIND AG (ISIN DE000A0JBPG2), achieved an excellent result for the first nine
months of the 2012 financial year. During this period, the company realised a
turnover amounting to EUR 80.9 million (previous year: EUR 33.1 million). The
EBIT increased very significantly to EUR 24.9 million (previous year:        
EUR -0.7 million). This corresponds to earnings per share of EUR 0.48. The
balance sheet profit increased the company's equity ratio to 49 percent as at 30
September 2012 from about 39 percent as at 31 December 2011. This information
was published in the PNE WIND AG quarterly report today. At the same time the
Board of Directors confirms its forecast; for the financial years 2011 to 2013 a
cumulative operating result (EBIT) of EUR 60 to 72 million.

The sale of the "Gode Wind" I to III projects to DONG Energy in the third
quarter of 2012, together with other operational achievements, formed the basis
of this very positive business development. PNE WIND AG has received the first
installment from DONG Energy amounting to approximately EUR 57 million for the
shares in the "Gode Wind" I and II, inclusive project development costs.  During
the coming two to three years, PNE WIND AG expects to receive an additional EUR
100 million in milestone payments. These will become due upon the completion of
specified project development steps. In addition, PNE WIND AG will support DONG
Energy during the coming five years as a service provider to the projects.

Intensive project development the in on and offshore projects characterized our
activities during the reporting period. In addition to our successes in the
offshore sector, PNE WIND AG was able to make progress in the onshore sector.
After the successful completion of the repowering project, "Kemberg II", an
additional wind farm is now under construction in Germany.

Further projects will follow at home and abroad: PNE WIND AG is compiling a
portfolio of wind farms to be completed during the coming years in Germany and
Great Britain with a total nominal output amounting to 180 MW. This package of
projects will be offered to investors for purchase in the first half of 2013 and
will ensure additional contributions to turnover and profits.

Martin Billhardt, Chairman of the Board of Directors of PNE WIND AG, commented
on current developments: "By selling our "Gode Wind" projects, we have
significantly strengthened our capital base, which can be seen in our excellent
nine month figures. We will use the payments received and those to come for the
further development of our on and offshore project pipeline. Our stronger
financial base also strengthens our ability to increase our dividend."
