Turnkey project built in central France already in operation

Hamburg, 20 September 2013. The Munich municipal utility Stadtwerke München
has acquired a further wind farm from Nordex SE. The project was developed
and installed on a turn-key basis by Nordex and is already in operation.
Named 'Chaussée de César Sud' because the turbines' row underlines an
ancient roman road, the wind farm is located in Central France near Bourges
where Nordex has already installed turbines with an aggregate capacity of
135 MW. 'Chaussée de César Sud' comprises four N100/2500 multi-megawatt
turbines, sufficient to supply up to 8,000 households with clean
electricity (based on the consumption of 2,500 kWh per year).

'I am very pleased that we are able to continue our activities with
Stadtwerke München. Also, it is good to see that our own project
development business continues to deliver volume in France,' says Lars
Bondo Krogsgaard, a member of Nordex SE's management board.

Dr. Florian Bieberbach, CEO of SWM: 'This is the second project that we
have bought from Nordex in France. We have found an experienced partner in
Nordex and we hope that there will be more joint projects to follow. In
order to achieve our ambitious renewable energy goals we need dependable
partners to rely on. And we have to think on the European scale and tap the
full potential outside of Munich and Germany as well, like now in France.
Here are very good wind sites and an appropriate support scheme.'

The Munich municipal utility Stadtwerke München (SWM) is one of the
pioneers in renewable energies. It plans to produce sufficient green
electricity using its own facilities to cover the entire requirements of
the City of Munich - namely no less than some 7.5 billion kilowatt/hours -
by 2025. In this way, Munich will be the world's first major city to
achieve this goal. To this end, SWM is concentrating solely on self-funding
economical projects. This is why wind power, which is the most
cost-efficient source of renewable energy, is playing a key role in SWM's
strategy.

About Nordex
As one of the technological leaders in multi-megawatt wind power systems,
Nordex is benefiting from the trend in favour of large-scale turbines. The
Generation Gamma range comprises the N90/2500, N100/2500 and the N117/2400,
which is one of the most efficient onshore turbines. To date, over 2,400 of
