Nordex AG has entered the Turkish market on a very successful
note: Up until the end of March 2008 it will be assembling 17
N90/2500 HS (high speed) turbines with 80 meters hub height near
Bergama. To date, mostly only fairly small wind farms have been
constructed in Turkey. With an installed output of 42.5 MW, the
"Yuntdag" project will be playing a key role in the country, with a
record-breaking notional power yield. At mean wind speeds of 9 - 10
m/s, the strong-wind power systems will generate a combined annual
output of around 160 million kilowatt hours, equivalent to a capacity
factor of approx. 45 percent, and sufficient to supply more than
70,000 Turkish households with electricity.

The customer and ultimate operator of the wind farm is Turkish
company Ynnores Enerji Üretim Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. Ýnnores is a
100% affiliate of DOST Enerji Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S that is
established by MV Holding, Portmobil Telecommunications and RDO
Investment to invest in renewable energy in the region. This project
is DOST Enerji?s first project of a medium term 300 MW installed
capacity target.

Turkish Renewable Energies Act took effect on May 10, 2005 setting
the ground to invest in renewable energy. The enhanced bill is
waiting to be approved by the president that stipulates 10 year
purchase guarantee with a remuneration rate per kilowatt/hour of
"green" 5 to 5.5 euro-cents.

About Nordex

As one of the technological leaders in multi-megawatt wind power
systems, Nordex is benefiting from the trend in favor of large-scale
turbines. The range comprises one of the world?s largest
series-produced wind power systems (N80/N90 2,500 kW). To date,
around 400 turbines of this type have been installed around the
world. This experience with multi-megawatt turbines gives Nordex a
decisive lead over most of its competitors. Nordex has installed a
total of around 3,000 turbines with an aggregate capacity of more
than 3,000 MW (January 2007) all around the world. With exports
accounting for around 80 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.
