Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 18 July 2007. The bidding consortium
headed by the Portuguese Energy Company Galp Energia, represented by
the Holding Ventinveste, won the bidding for the Portuguese
Government Tender about a wind energy project with a projected
capacity of 400 megawatts. The governmental body DEEG (Direcção Geral
da Energia) of the Portuguese Ministry of Economic Affairs officially
communicated this news to the consortium which is composed of the
companies GALP, Grupo Enersis, Martifer, REpower Portugal and REpower
Systems AG and EFACEC. For several months, Ventinveste has been
leading in the second lot and has thus stayed ahead of the remaining
adverse bidder, the consortium Novas Energias Ibéricas (amongst
others consisting of Iberdrola and Gamesa).

The implementation period of the tender is supposed to be five years
from 2008. Ventinveste had handed in its bidding offer of all in all
more than 11,000 pages in March 2006 already.

"In this case you are right to say: `Slow and steady wins the
race´´", commented Prof. Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt about the award of the
bid by the Portuguese Government. He is the CEO of the REpower
Systems AG, the third-largest manufacturer of wind turbines in
Germany which is represented in the consortium. He adds: "Right from
the beginning, our partners in the consortium showed that they have
confidence in the technology and efficient competence of REpower.
Now, we will make all relevant provisions in order to further improve
our position on the Portuguese market."
