Installation to commence in autumn 2013

Hamburg, Istanbul, April 19, 2013. Wind turbine manufacturer Nordex is able
to defend a leading position in the Turkish market. Now it has signed
delivery and service contracts with two long-standing customers for four
projects entailing a total of 50 turbines with a combined total capacity of
125 megawatts.

A total of 38 N100/2500 turbines are to be connected to the grid for Eksim
Holding by autumn 2013. 20 turbines will be built at the Hasanbeyli wind
farm in Eastern Turkey close to the town of Osmaniye. Located in the
foothills of the Taurus mountains in the South East of Turkey at an
altitude of around 1,400 metres, they will produce an annual energy yield
of around 180 gigawatt/hours. Nordex is also installing a further wind farm
for Eksim close to Silivri near Istanbul. Driven by average wind speeds of
7.8 m/s, the 18 2.5 MW turbines will generate 150 gigawatt/hours of
electricity a year.

Nordex is also supplying Dost Enerji, with which Nordex originally launched
its business activities in Turkey, with twelve N90/2500 turbines. One of
these will be added to the Yuntdag wind farm, which has since been enlarged
to 23 Nordex turbines. Located to the north of Izmir, this wind farm marked
Nordex's first foray into the Turkish market back in 2007. Thanks to the
superb wind conditions at this site, the energy yield from this single
turbine is expected to come to nine gigawatt/hours a year, equivalent to a
capacity factor of 48 percent. Nordex is assembling the other eleven
turbines at the Geres wind farm in the direct vicinity of Yuntdag. This
wind farm is to produce 100 gigawatt/hours of clean energy a year. Dost
Enerji is one of the pioneers in the commercial utilisation of wind power
in Turkey.

Says Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, a member of Nordex's Management Board: 'We are
delighted that our long-standing customers Dost Enerji and Eksim Holding
have again opted for Nordex turbines. This underscores the favourable
experience which they have gained with our technology and skills. As well
as this, it testifies to two superb partnerships precisely in the Turkish
wind power market, which is characterised by strong growth potential and
excellent wind conditions.' The OECD predicts for Turkey an average growth
of GDP of 5.2 percent.

Says Dr. Ruchan Hamamci, Coordinator of Renewable Energies at Eksim
Holding: 'We are currently operating wind farms with a capacity of 140 MW
and will be adding a further 95 MW to this with our Hasanbeyli and Silivri
wind farms. Our goal is to become the leading supplier of CO2-free
electricity from wind in Turkey. Nordex has supplied us with reliable and
efficient wind power systems allowing us to come closer to reaching our
goal from day to day.'
