Hamburg/Gollmitz (euro adhoc) - July 16, 2009. The independent power producer Enertrag AG

is commencing electricity generation at the Gollmitz wind park  today.  The
    five wind power systems with a total output of 12.5 MW will  be  generating
    28.9 million  kWh  of  electricity  each  year,  sufficient  to  cover  the
    requirements of 8,250 households. This high yield is being made possible by
    the Nordex N100, which has been  especially  configured  for  typical  non-
    coastal conditions characterized by  steady  wind  volumes.  With  a  rotor
    diameter of 100 meters and a nominal  capacity  of  2.5  MW,  the  turbines
    already comply with the latest electrical requirements of the German Energy
    Feed-In Act.

    In planning the wind farm, Enertrag was guided by two principles:  "On  the
    one hand, we wanted to achieve the highest possible local  content  in  the
    North East of Germany and therefore deliberately used Nordex turbines which
    had been produced in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania,"  explained  Enertrag  CEO
    Jörg Müller. Enertrag  also  gave  preference  to  local  construction  and
    electrical companies in the Uckermark  region  in  awarding  contracts  for
    preparatory assembly work. Construction of the foundations and access roads
    as well cable work thus helped to secure jobs in the region,  as  will  the
    ensuing operation of the wind farm. In  addition,  we  implemented  various
    environmental compensation measures," Müller  added.  Among  other  things,
    Enertrag is planting around 60 trees and financing the demolition of  three
    derelict buildings and the ensuing  sealing  of  the  ground  in  Gollmitz,
    Wilhelmshof and Kröchlendorff.

    The N100 is a further development of the proven Nordex N80/90 wind  turbine
    family. Since 2000,  the  North  Germany-based  wind  system  producer  has
    assembled over 1,000 of these turbines around the world. The turbines being
    used at the Gollmitz wind park have a hub height and rotor diameter of  100
    meter and a rotor sweep of 7,823 square meters.

    "The project testifies to the confidence which  our  long-standing  partner
    Enertrag has placed in our wind power systems, particularly  those  in  the
    2.5 MW class. The N100 is one of the most powerful series-produced turbines
    for non-coastal locations currently available on the market," explains Jörg
    Hempel, managing director and sales director for Nordex Central Europe.

    Enertrag and Nordex have been working together for a  long  time:  Enertrag
    supplies firing systems for Nordex in Germany and other European countries,
    including for the N100 in Gollmitz. In addition, the Gollmitz wind farm  is
    equipped with an Enertrag vision range system to reduce the  brightness  of
    the night warning beacon for aircraft, thus minimizing the disturbance  for
    neighboring residents.
