Hamburg, 14 June 2013. A major order will enable the wind turbine
manufacturer Nordex to further expand its business in South Africa. The
independent power producer CENNERGI has placed an order with Nordex for the
delivery and turnkey installation of the 134.4 MW 'Amakhala Emoyeni' wind
farm. CENNERGI's principal shareholders are the South African mining group
EXXARO Resources and India's Tata Power.

Nordex is to start construction work for the complete infrastructure of the
wind farm at the site south of Bedford in South Africa's Eastern Cape
Province in the third quarter of 2014. Installation of the 56 N117/2400
turbines is due to follow in the second quarter of 2015. After completion
of work connecting it to the grid, the handover of the wind farm is
scheduled for June 2016. The scope of supply also includes a service
agreement for a period of ten years initially.

'Amakhala Emoyeni' is one of the projects from the second round of the
South African REIPP auctions approved by the South African Ministry of
Energy in May 2012 and comes with a 20-year electricity PPA. The next round
of tenders is to be held in August this year. The goal is to further
increase the share of renewable energies in South Africa's power supply
system.

'This order once again underlines the fact that with the N117/2400 turbine
Nordex currently offers one of the most efficient wind turbine generators
in the market and is successful in many international growth markets. It is
also a further important building block to create a solid foundation for
our new subsidiary in Cape Town,' said Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, a member of
Nordex SE Management Board.

Prior to the 'Amakhala Emoyeni' project in November 2012 Nordex had already
been awarded contracts for two large-scale projects in South Africa with a
total of 180 MW, which are already in the construction phase. This means
that Nordex now has an overall market share of around 26% from the first
two auction rounds, making the company one of the leading suppliers in
South Africa.
