Company Information

Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 6 November 2012. Nordex has been
awarded a contract to install the Suckow wind farm. Located in the
shire of Ludwigslust-Parchim in the German state of Mecklenburg-West
Pomerania, the wind farm will comprise thirteen N100/2500 turbines
with a combined output of 32.5 MW. The project has been planned by
Loscon Engineering GmbH. The operator and final customer is
SüdWestStrom Windpark Suckow GmbH (SüdWestStrom), a cooperative based
in Tübingen owned by various German municipal utilities. The wind
farm has a total of six private investors, a private cooperative and
ten municipal utilities including Südwestdeutsche Stromhandels GmbH,
which initially bought the project before transferring it to the
participating municipal utilities and the private investors.

Nordex will be installing the first few turbines by the end of 2012,
with the entire wind farm scheduled for completion in spring 2013.
With a rotor sweep of 7,854 square metres, the N100/2500 turbines
will generate high yields at the site even in low to moderate wind
speeds. As a result, they will be able to produce 64 million
kilowatt/hours of clean energy per year, sufficient to supply 16,000
homes. Compared with a lignite-fueled power station, the wind farm
will be able to reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by around
64,000 tons. It will be connected to the grid via a transformer
station, which is already under construction.

Südwestdeutsche Stromhandels GmbH is aiming to provide municipal
utilities with an opportunity for investing in efficient power
stations by means of projects such as the Suckow wind farm. "We
explored many different options. However, we ultimately found the
most attractive project for our municipal utilities in Suckow," says
Bettina Morlok, managing director of SüdWestStrom.

Suckow is SüdWestStrom's first onshore wind farm. By investing in the
project swiftly and on favourable terms, the participating municipal
utilities are making a contribution to furthering Germany's new
energy policy. Says Morlok: "Mid-size utilities in particular can
invest small amounts in large projects via our cooperative model
without having to shoulder the development risks. The commitment
shown by the municipal utilities and citizens to the Suckow project
shows that the municipal utilities will be playing an increasingly
important role in the adoption of new methods of producing
electricity in Germany."

The Suckow region will also be benefiting from the wind farm. The
owners of the land, who include private individuals as well as the
municipality itself, will be receiving an attractive rent from
SüdWestStrom based on an area model. Under this model, all land
owners in the eligible region will receive remuneration even if no
wind turbines are built directly on their particular land. The income
generated will allow the municipality to finance important
investments in the future.

Südwestdeutsche Stromhandels GmbH Südwestdeutsche Stromhandels GmbH
is a cooperative operated by German municipal utilities. Established
in 1999, it has set itself the goal of strengthening municipal
utilities' competitive position, harnessing synergistic effects and
thus utilising joint opportunities. Today 56 municipal utilities are
shareholders of Südwestdeutsche Stromhandels GmbH. Around 65
employees are based at its head office in Tübingen. Separate entities
are established for investments in wind farm projects, which
Südwestdeutsche Stromhandels GmbH oversees and for which it assumes
the risk until a certain phase is reached. This also forms the basis
on which SüdWestStrom Windpark Suckow GmbH & Co. KG has been
established.
