EDITORIAL
Dear readers,
In this issue we want to update you again on
some of our current projects. Among other new
developments, we recently have received a major
contract for the delivery of 118 2.5 MW turbines
in Sweden. This and other orders demonstrate
that major customers prefer proven wind power
systems. With our 1.5 and 2.5 MW turbines, we
have the products which the market is continuing
to seek.
Yet, this does not mean that we are resting on our
laurels. Quite the contrary, for we are currently
developing a specialised product in the 4 MW
class for the onshore segment, which we will be
launching on the market in 2013/2014. At the
same time, we are working on a larger special
offshore system in the 6 MW class complete with
a new drive concept. This Nordex offshore tech-
nology will be available from 2014.
However, this does not mean that we have
Editorial 05
been ignoring the older turbines. Looking ahead
over the next few years, the modernisation and
updating of these systems will form the basis
for continued high availability and the reliable
continued operation of older turbines.
Information on our modernisation packages and
other subjects can be found on the following
pages.
We wish you pleasant reading.
Thomas Richterich Carsten Pedersen

06 Background
INTERVIEW WITH
THOMAS RICHTERICH
“Internationalisation,
innovation and industrialisation
form the focus
of our strategy”
Mr Richterich, strong growth formed the core
of Nordex’s strategy over many years. Is this
still the case?
We are adjusting our corporate strategy to allow
for changed market conditions. Above-average
growth is now no longer the sole focus of our
strategy. That doesn’t mean that we have given
up our goal of expanding at double-digit rates
if market conditions permit. However, there are
some external factors, such as the limited avail-
ability of funding for our customers, for example,
which we are not able to materially influence.
What aspects are you now giving greater
emphasis in Nordex’s strategic orientation?
Our industry has changed. Large groups have
entered our market as competitors. Today, our
customers are highly professional utilities with a
global reach. Against this backdrop, we are recali-
brating our priorities and simultaneously reinforc-
ing our old virtues. First and foremost, we will
be continuing to broaden Nordex’s international
footprint so as to enter new markets on an endur-
ing basis. Secondly, we are stepping up our ef-
forts to develop innovative products and technical
solutions more quickly to tap new market and
customer segments. By implementing industrial
processes, structures and methods, we will be
able to optimise our costs. What I think is decisive
is to achieve the right balance between quality,
innovation and costs.
Thomas Richterich
CEO of Nordex SE
What is Nordex currently doing to convince
international utilities to purchase our turbines?
We are able to assert ourselves in competition with
industry heavyweights as we are closer to our cus-
tomers thanks to more flexible structures and swift
decision-making processes. This is demonstrated
by the recent major order from Sweden for 118
turbines, which we did not receive by quoting the
lowest price. Rather, what was decisive was our
ability to modify our products and services in the
light of the special needs of our customers and
their projects. However, I also mean “closer to the
customer” literally. In order to convince inter-
national utilities, we must establish corporate
structures in the individual markets and assemble
experienced local teams. To this end, we have set
up regional companies in Europe, America and
Asia, which more or less pursue their business via
national companies.

DID YOU KNOW ...
... that the N100’s new guaranteed sound power
level of 106.0 dB(A) satisfies the guidelines specified
by KFW Förderbank?
... that with its new power curves the Gamma
Generation achieves the greatest yield in the
2.5 MW class?
... that the N100 with its 140-metre steel/concrete
hybrid tower generates up to 22 % more
output than turbines mounted on conventional
100-metre steel-tube towers?
... that in Germany Nordex is among the 100
most popular potential employers for engineers
in 2010, according to Berlin consulting company
Trendence?
What other product innovations can we expect
to see in the near future?
Over the last few years, intensive competition for
new technical solutions has emerged. This has
been driven in part by new areas of use for wind
power. Examples of these new developments in-
clude offshore turbines or longer rotor blades for
low-wind sites. Now that we have achieved
a very high level of quality in our products, we
want to speed up the pace of development for
new products. This has been in Nordex’s blood
for 25 years. What we are seeking are innovative
solutions as well as turbines which are more
efficient while avoiding any increase in costs.
What sorts of projects does this entail?
For one thing, we are modernising our existing
ranges by fitting larger rotors to expand the plat-
forms. Here, we can typically achieve a roughly
20 % gain in yield for an increase of only 5 % in
costs. At the same time, we are focusing on our
new multi-megawatt system for the onshore
market, which features a reduced nacelle weight
per megawatt of output. At the end of 2009, and
?Background 07
... that according to the Global Wind Energy
Council (GWEC) the annual volume of new
installations will increase from 38.3 GW to
62.5 GW over the next five years, and that in
2014 total capacity will exceed 400 GW?
... that our colleagues at Nordex China planted
200 white ash saplings in a single hour as part
of the “Go Green” environmental protection
programme in the spring, and that these trees
form part of the “second green belt”, which is to
protect Peking from sandstorms in the future?
thus more or less at the same time, we started
work on developing a turbine for offshore use.
This turbine will achieve a substantially greater
output than all previous systems and incorporates
a new technical drive concept.
What initiatives has Nordex taken with respect to
industrialisation?
Our volumes have now reached levels justifying
the use of industrial technologies and processes.
As in the automotive industry, we are now imple-
menting an assembly line system at our plants
in Rostock and in the United States. In this way,
we are able to reduce turnaround times, heighten
delivery reliability and achieve new levels of pro-
duction quality. And we have already introduced
a process which is unrivalled in the wind power
industry for automating large parts of the final
assembly of the rotor blades.

NORDEX FOUNDER
JOINING THE
SUPERVISORY BOARD
Lars B. Krogsgaard
appointed Chief Sales
Officer of Nordex SE
as of October
In the year in which it celebrates its 25th anni-
versary, Nordex is undergoing extensive change.
Mechanical engineering follows completely
different principles these days, while new and
more heavily industrialised production processes
have been implemented. Meanwhile, there are
also changes to the Management Board: Carsten
Pedersen will be withdrawing from day-to-day
management and instead taking a seat on Nordex
SE’s Supervisory Board.
In this way, the Company’s founding father will
not be lost to Nordex. On the contrary, he will
continue to accompany the Company closely in
the future. However, he will be doing so in his
capacity as an advisor and making use of his
contacts in Nordex’s interests.
His decision to switch to the Supervisory Board
was predominantly made for private reasons.
Over the past 25 years, Carsten Pedersen has
dedicated a great deal of time to contributing to
Nordex’s success story. Since he moved with his
family to a new home near Copenhagen, his life
has been based in this region. Now he is making
use of the new possibilities which he has for
living his life more intensively with his children
and his wife. This also affects Nordex, of course.
However, as a member of the Supervisory Board,
he will be able to combine his private and profes-
sional goals.
Lars Bondo Krogsgaard will be taking over from
Carsten Pedersen in October 2010.
Mr. Krogsgaard is an energy expert with an
excellent track record. In 2002, he was appointed
commercial director of “Renewables”, which at
that time was a still young division within the
largest Danish utility Dong Energy. Four years
ago, he changed sides and joined Siemens Wind
Power, where he was responsible for sales and
project management in Europe, Africa and Middle
East regions.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY
People are at the core of everything we do
With our 18 branches and offices around the
world, we constitute an important economic
factor as a result of our local activities, and also
for our business partners. Nordex defines its sell-
side markets as production centres. Accordingly,
we assemble turbines in Europe, Asia and North
America for the primary growth markets. At the
same time, we are establishing the supplier struc-
tures which we require at these and numerous
other locations. The construction and ensuing
operation of wind farms thus create employment
and income for people in these regions, while the
local governments benefit from the tax revenue
which we generate.
Yet, for all our business activity, we attach the
greatest importance to site safety. The Health
and Safety department ensures strict observance
and further development of internationally ac-
knowledged standards. This is because safe and
reliable working conditions form the basis for
our employees’ personal well-being and, hence,
the Company’s success. In this regard, our
understanding of personal well-being goes well
beyond our employees’ physical condition as
we acknowledge the fact that a holistic view
of the individual also includes his or her psycho-
logical health.
In their business activities, enterprises also hold
social responsibility. Nordex bases its activities
on the principles set out in “UN Global Impact”
in its relations with its own employees as well
as the third parties with whom we interact.
Within the Company’s sphere of influence, this
entails the principles of human rights and anti-
discrimination, as well as initiatives to encourage
environmental awareness and to create equal
opportunities for education. For example, we
supported the 2008 and 2009 Hamburg Climate
Protection Conference, which was organised by
the State Institute of Teacher Training and School
Development. “Experiencing and understanding
energy” is the title of a long-term school project
that Nordex is implementing in conjunction with
Umwelt-Aktion e.V. in Germany.

BIG PARTY IN ROSTOCK
250 clients visit Nordex
A quarter of a century of Nordex, progress in the
modernisation and expansion of our production
facility and the successful introduction of the
Gamma Generation – three good reasons to invite
our customers to a big party at the GVZ in
Rostock. And so it was that on 6 August 2010,
more than 250 guests from Europe and North
America – including, apart from the customers
and their Nordex contact persons, analysts, media
representatives and business partners – followed
the stage programme in the finishing shop.
The impressive demonstration of the automatic
finishing machine opened the show with lights
and a drum roll. Next CEO Thomas Richterich
spoke about the Company’s current targets:
establishment as an international group, concen-
tration on industrial production processes and
innovative strength in product development.
Dr Marc Sielemann, COO Operations, showed
that Nordex is already one of the sector pioneers
when it comes to production. As an example
of this he cited the rotor blade finishing shop,
the new rotor blade testing shop and the intro-
duction of continuous flow production – for
Nordex, major steps towards faster delivery,
lower costs and yet higher quality.

For the following panel discussion under the
heading “Requirements to be met by modern
wind energy technology”, moderator Dagmar
Binder invited four guests onto the stage. Thilo
Langfeldt, CEO of CompAdia Management Con-
sultants, was the first person she talked to. His
consulting company had assisted our customer
during the tender process for the order from
Sweden. Mr Langfeldt named the criteria that
set Nordex apart among 16 manufacturers: ex-
perience, quality, cost, the optimal turbine for the
location, as well as its willingness to offer flexible
technical solutions. Reiner Leipold-Büttner, COO
of our gearbox supplier Bosch Rexroth, spoke
Business 11
about why he regards Nordex and Bosch as ideal
partners: neither was looking for fast, high-risk
success, but both attached importance to reliable
and durable technology.
Dr Andrew Garrad, CEO of the consulting com-
pany GL Garrad Hassan, described how Nordex
was an established company that was attractive
for customers and banks. After the panel dis-
cussion Professor Ulrich Walter, physicist and
astronaut, took over the microphone. He showed
pictures of the earth taken from space, recalling
how beautiful our planet is.

GERMAN CHANCELLOR VISITS NORDEX
Interchange of ideas on energy policy
On 18 August 2010, German Chancellor Angela
Merkel commenced her “energy tour” in
Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. During a visit to
Nordex’s rotor blade production plant in Rostock,
she was conducting talks with representatives
of companies active in the wind power industry.
The background to this tour was the energy
policy, the main elements of which the German
federal government plans to announce at the end
of September.
“We greatly welcome the fact that the Chancellor
wants to gain a first-hand impression of the
progress being made in renewable energies,”
said Thomas Richterich, CEO of Nordex SE, which
supports the basic goals of the energy policy –
namely to ensure reliable and climate-friendly
supply of energy at competitive prices.
Richterich added: “Wind power can make a
crucial and, above all, balanced contribution to
achieving these aims. What is more, our industry
is a key factor in the regional economy in terms of
both added value and employment.”
Thus, over the past few years, Nordex has created
around 1,000 jobs in Rostock and has invested
approximately EUR 100 million since 2008 in
extending and modernising its facilities there.
The sector as a whole employs around 100,000
people (directly and indirectly) in Germany.
Among other things, the talks with Chancellor
Merkel focused on ways in which the German
industry can maintain its top technological po-
sition in the international markets. As Richterich
explained: “More and more countries are
establishing their own local industry. If it is to
remain competitive at an international level, the
German wind power industry must also heighten
its innovativeness. As a good 90 % of our
business comes from exports these days, this
issue is of crucial importance for the future
of our industry.”

SELF-COMMITMENT
Environmental protection at Nordex
In the absence of any fundamental change in the
way in which energy is produced, the quality of
life of future generations will be at risk as grow-
ing demand for energy around the world has
resulted in enormous emissions of greenhouse
gases. Wind power forms a crucial component in
these efforts. Thus, a megawatt/hour of electricity
generated using the wind avoids the production
of roughly one ton of the CO 2 , which is emitted
when electricity is produced from coal, for ex-
ample. Last year alone, Nordex turbines were able
to prevent emissions of several million tons of
harmful gases. Each turbine recoups the energy
consumed in producing it after only around seven
months. This calculation includes the energy used
throughout the entire production process as well
as transportation to the site of deployment. Once
in operation, each turbine provides clean energy
for around 20 years.
Even a single Nordex multi-megawatt turbine can
supply enough energy to cover the requirements
of up to 3,000 four-person households. Today,
over 4,000 Nordex turbines are in operation
worldwide, helping to ensure clean and secure
energy supplies around the globe.
However, at Nordex, environmental protection
is not confined to its products, but starts at the
production phase. In Rostock, the Company is
currently building one of the most modern and
environmentally friendly facilities for the produc-
tion of wind power turbines and rotor blades.
These production technologies not only satisfy,
but actually remain well short of, the stringent
Environment 13
government maximum limits for emissions of
dust, solvents, odours and wastewater. In addition,
Nordex attaches the greatest possible importance
to insulation and heat recycling. In preparation
of the implementation of a global site safety and
environmental production management system,
in accordance with BS OHSAS 18001 and DIN EN
ISO 14001, environmental parameters were collec-
ted and processed at the Company’s facilities in
Rostock and Hamburg in 2009. Nordex sees this
as offering considerable potential for improving
its ecological balance, which it plans to enhance
step by step in the future.
When it comes to building installation manage-
ment, Nordex is also focusing on environmental
protection by ensuring that all its buildings com-
ply with the low energy standards as far as pos-
sible. Thus, the new facility in the United States
will have an integrated geothermal HVAC system,
while the new head office in Hamburg, which is
still under construction, has already been award-
ed a preliminary “Gold” certificate by the German
Association of Sustainable Building.

WIND FARM MANAGEMENT
Getting a grip on the grid
They are required to limit effective power, provide
idle power or contribute to maintaining voltage:
modern wind farms are power stations which
must satisfy countless different requirements de-
fined in the applicable grid codes. This is supple-
mented by customer specifications, such as effect-
ive or idle power requirements or the provision of
digital interfaces for managing the wind farm. As
the individual turbines in the wind farm are not
able to meet these requirements on their
own, an overarching solution, known as the
wind farm master, is necessary. Nordex
uses the Combined Wind Farm Manage-
ment and Electrical System –
or CWE for short – for
this purpose.
The CWE manages all the turbines in the wind
farm in accordance with the grid codes, simultan-
eously providing an interface with the higher
level control systems used by the grid operator
and the customer. The system is located at the
grid connection point at the wind farm and com-
municates cyclically with all wind power systems
in the wind farm. For this purpose, the CWE is
linked with instrument transformers at the grid
connection point, which it uses to calculate
various parameters such as voltage, electricity,
frequency, effective power and idle power.
The CWE then makes its “decisions” concerning
the management of the individual wind power
systems on the basis of the target levels which
have been defined, the turbine status and the
readings recorded at the grid connection point.
The question as to whether the CWE should be
deployed in the planned wind farm is determined
together with the customer during the sales or
project phase. The customer’s requirements are
documented in a list of specifications and signals
forming the basis for later implementation.

Engineering 15
The Nordex CWE is a sophisticated and
thoroughly tested standard solution, able
to accommodate most customer and grid
operator requirements. In addition, changing
requirements are reviewed on a continuous basis
and incorporated in enhancements to the CWE,
which then undergoes intensive testing at Nordex’s
laboratory using a simulation system to ensure
correct functioning and compliance with the rede-
fined specifications. In this way, Nordex ensures
that the wind farm will be operated to optimum
effect later on and that the customer receives a
fully functional product. Real conditions are simu-
lated as accurately as possible in the software test
laboratory. For this purpose, all signals and the
physical response of the individual wind power
systems and the wind farm are modelled in real-
time simulations. The grid topology used in the
laboratory matches the situation in the field.
Only after all test scenarios have been
completed successfully is the CWE
installed and activated when
the wind farm goes on
line.
Nordex has already installed CWE systems at over
110 wind farms – particularly in France, Portugal,
the UK and Germany – with this figure rising.

16 Service
MODERNISATION
Legacy wind power systems
given a “new lease
on life”
Nordex Service currently has over
2,200 wind turbines on its books.
Many of these have been operating
for 15 years or more, a fact which
testifies to their quality and the main-
tenance service provided. Still, this
cannot conceal the fact that older tur-
bines are no longer up to contemporary standards.
This particularly applies to small assembly groups,
large components and also safety-related parts.
Modernising and updating existing wind power
systems is one way of implementing the latest
technology in turbines which have been in opera-
tion for a protracted period of time. This update
provides the basis for the continued high availa-
bility and reliable operations of older turbines
over the coming years.
Nordex customers can either order standard mod-
ernisation packages for specific components or
request comprehensive system modernisation
from us. The Product Modernisation Centre at
Nordex Services is responsible for modernisation,
and aims to upgrade legacy turbines by fitting
them out with new technology in the interests of
enhanced investment protection and the contin-
ued long-term economic viability of customers’
systems.
Nordex’s TIP (“Technical Improvement Pro-
gramme”) modernisation programme offers
numerous retrofit standard packages. Our custo-
mers are able to opt for individual modernisation
An N80 in Mahlberg

components, which are steadily widened through
the addition of new technical developments. The
modular TIP range includes options such as the
installation of automatic lubrication and filter
systems or the condition monitoring system, as
well as software and hardware updates for the
control system or the complete replacement of the
pitch system. These activities do not require any
extensive project planning phase. What is more,
the Nordex service technician on site can either
perform the work in steps or as a single job.
Comprehensive large-scale modernisation com-
prises individual activities. Thus, the slip rings and
drives are replaced and the brakes and converters
enhanced in the pitch system; the transmission
is updated to the latest model for the platform in
question; the bearings are replaced, individual
components updated and the gear toothing over-
hauled. In addition, the control software in the con-
trol box is updated and the generator completely
overhauled with new roller bearings – to name just
a few examples.
In this case, a project manager at the Product Mod-
ernisation Centre oversees the professional exe-
cution of the overall project and, working jointly
with the customer and the service account mana-
ger, assembles the optimum technical solution for
the wind farm. At the same time, service specialists
scrutinise the system ahead of the project, analyse
the customer’s requirements, hold talks with exter-
nal consultants and clarify any permit-related mat-
ters with the responsible authorities. This forms
the basis for a plan for retrofitting the turbine in the
light of the latest technological developments and
in a manner ensuring the best value for money. At
the same time, efforts are made to keep the outage
times as short as possible. Once the plan has been
approved, the first step is for the existing compon-
ents to be dismantled. For this purpose, the main
systems are removed and overhauled at Nordex’s
own facilities or at the workshops of selected
suppliers. Following the completion of intensive
component testing, we install the overhauled parts
at the wind farm and put the turbine back into oper-
ation. The result is proven wind power technology
with modern components incorporating the latest
technological developments.
The first major modernisation project for 2010 has recently been successfully completed.
The following components were modernised:
Gearbox overhauled
Generator overhauled
Software and control bus upgraded
Main transformer modernised
Yaw system modernised
Pitch system modernised

Nordex acquiring a stake in an offshore project
In May, Nordex signed a contract to acquire
a roughly 40 % stake in the project company
which is developing the “Arcadis Ost 1” offshore
wind farm. The planned site is located within the
12 nautical mile zone of the German part of the
Baltic Sea, 17 kilometres north-east of the island
“Rügen” at a water depth of around 40 metres.
In the preliminary construction phase, around
70 turbines with a combined capacity of at least
300 megawatts are to be installed there. Given a
mean wind speed of 9.6 m/s and around 3,600 full
load hours, the wind farm is expected to achieve
an annual energy yield of over 1,100 gigawatt/
hours, sufficient to provide 282,000 households
with electricity, simultaneously avoiding
more than one million tons of carbon dioxide
emissions.
Study of the
offshore turbine
Construction of the first turbines is planned for
2014. In this connection, the shareholders assume
that permits will be awarded in 2011. The planned
area has been zoned as a suitable maritime re-
gion and the preparatory work on the application
process has reached an advanced stage. Nordex
started work last year on developing a new multi-
megawatt turbine for offshore deployment.

“In Germany, in particular, the targets defined in
the government’s climate policy can only be
achieved by the greater construction of offshore
wind farms. For this reason, a market segment
comprising turbines with a new installed capacity
of over five gigawatts per annum will emerge
over the next few years. Following preliminary
test installations in the Baltic Sea, “Arcadis Ost 1”
will be our reference project in the offshore mar-
ket,” says Thomas Richerich, CEO of Nordex SE.
Europe 19
The majority shareholder in the project company
is WV Energie AG, a 50 % subsidiary of Winter-
shall AG. The remaining 50 % of WV Energie AG
is owned by more than 200 German utilities.

SWEDEN
Skellefteå Kraft AB orders 295 MW
Nordex has signed a framework agreement with
the municipally owned utility Skellefteå Kraft AB,
Skellefteå, to supply a total of 118 turbines of
the N100/2500 series. The project concerned is
“Blaiken”, which with 250 megawatts (MW) is to
be the largest wind farm in Sweden, and the two
forerunner projects “Jokkmokksliden” (25 MW)
and “Storliden” (20 MW). The projects are lo-
cated in the county of Västerbotten, in the north
of Sweden, where wind speeds reach 7 metres
per second with phases of permafrost. This is
why Nordex will be supplying its turbines
in the cold-climate version and using
a new type of de-icing system for
the rotor blades.
We will install the first machines
this year in order to be able
to connect the two smaller
projects to the grid in 2011.
This is to be followed by the
start of building for the large
“Blaiken” project. Prepara-
tions are already underway
for the 100 installations in
order to ensure that the
deadline is met, because
Skellefteå Kraft has set itself
some ambitious targets. Together, the
three projects now commissioned are to gen-
erate more than 700 GWh of “green” electricity
a year.
“Skellefteå Kraft is a strong and important partner
for our activities in Scandinavia. And this order
also shows that we have adapted our product
well to the climatic conditions in Sweden,” says
Thomas Richterich, CEO at Nordex SE. This
is also demonstrated by reference projects that
Nordex has installed through its subsidiary in
Sweden. In the last two years alone, the Group
has put wind farms with a volume of more than
120 MW on grid there.
“We have chosen Nordex after a very thorough
examination of the market for wind turbines. In
addition to the fact that they are competitive in
price and quality, they demonstrate good practice
and attitude towards the challenges ahead in
the projects,” says Anders Järvelä, VP Electrical
Generation and Sales at Skellefteå Kraft AB.
The Swedish government has substantially raised
its targets for extending the use of wind energy
with a view to meeting the climate protection
targets set by the European Union. For instance,
as early as 2015, wind farms are to feed in at least
10,000 GWh of electricity. Experts expect some
3,000 MW of new generating capacity to be built
over the same period. Around 1,500 MW of
capacity was in operation at the end of 2009.

Delivery of twelve multi-megawatt turbines
Nordex has been awarded a contract for the
delivery of twelve N90/2500 multi-megawatt

few turbines are to be delivered and installed this
autumn, with the entire 30 MW wind farm to go
on line by mid 2011.
The wind farm is located close to the coast in
north Greece, where wind speeds of 7 metres
a second prevail. The “high-speed” turbine ver-
sions will be generating an annual yield of 66,000
megawatt / hours, sufficient to supply 14,500
households with electricity while avoiding emis-
sions of more than 65,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
What is more, the delivery contract includes
five-year premium service. The customer will be
executing the infrastructure preparations itself.

IRELAND
N80 wind farm being constructed in County Tyrone
The first joint project between Nordex and UK
developer DW Consultancy Ltd. has been signed
and sealed: DW Consultancy has ordered eight
Nordex N80/2500 turbines for their Northern Irish
wind farm known as “Screggagh”. Nordex will
be supplying the wind turbines from its European
production facility in Rostock in September.
The turbines will be built in County Tyrone.
The average wind speed at the site is 8.5 m/s.
Thanks to the N80/2500 strong-wind turbine,
Screggagh will be able to supply around
10,500 households a year with clean electricity.

The wind farm marks the first project for DW Con-
sultancy to go to construction in Northern Ireland.
DW Consultancy are active wind farm developers
in Northern Ireland, with four wind farm projects
(totalling 50 MW) currently permitted full planning
permission, and a further eight projects (totalling
more than 100 MW) within the planning system.
These additional projects present the prospect
of possible follow-up contracts for Nordex, one
of the top suppliers of turbines in the UK market.

Nordex awarded 50 MW project
In spring 2010, Nordex USA, Inc. was awarded
an order for 20 N90 2.5 megawatt wind turbines
to be installed at a 50-megawatt wind farm in
Garrett County, Maryland. The contract with
developer and future operator, Synergics, in-
cludes installation and a five-year maintenance
agreement.
Nordex will begin delivering and installing tur-
bines in August, with completion and commis-
sioning of the project slated for December 2010.
The “Roth Rock” wind farm will generate about
124,000 megawatt hours of electricity per year,
which is enough to power nearly 11,300 homes
at rates that are cost-competitive with existing
fuel sources. Roth Rock will displace about
107,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions in a
region traditionally dependent on coal.
“We were fortunate to have Nordex as we went
through the process of bringing the first wind
farm to Maryland,” said Wayne Rogers, CEO of
Synergics. “Their support and the enthusiasm
of our customers and constituents have made this
project possible. We chose Nordex for its leading
technology and proven track record –
but we also benefited from
their expertise.”

PAKISTAN
33 turbines for FFC Energy Limited
In March 2010, Nordex signed a contract with FFC
Energy Limited (FFCEL), Rawalpindi, Pakistan,
for the delivery of a 50 MW wind farm. Known as
“Jhampir”, the wind farm is to be built in the pro-
vince of Sindh, where the government of Pakistan
is planning to establish new capacity of around
4,600 megawatts. The average wind speed at the
site of the planned project is 7.8 metres per sec-
ond. FFCEL has therefore opted for the Nordex
S77/1500 series, which is specially designed for
medium-strong wind conditions. Additional
technical changes will be implemented to raise
the maximum operational temperature of the
turbines in this extremely hot climate location.
Delivery of the 33 turbines which are to be pro-
duced at the Nordex facilities in China is expected
to commence in the fourth quarter of this year.
FFCEL is planning to build further “green” power
stations to cover the growing demand for renew-
able energies. To this end, it has already obtained
a letter of intent for another 100 MW of wind
farms from the government of Pakistan.

CHINA
Utilities order 57 megawatts
Nordex acquires the next orders in the People’s
Republic: the Chinese utilities Beijing Energy and
Ningxia Electric Power have ordered a total of 38
wind turbines from the S77/1500 series. The tur-
bines are due to start operation as early as the
summer of this year.
With 33 machines, the “Keyouzhongqi” wind
farm, owned by the customer Beijing Energy,
accounts for the larger part of the deliveries now
agreed. At the site in Inner Mongolia tempera-
tures can reach as low as 30 degrees below zero.
For this reason, Nordex is supplying the cold-
climate version of the turbines. With an expected
annual yield of around 120 mill. kilowatt-hours,
Keyouzhongqi will be able to supply some 70,000
Chinese households with clean electricity.
This wind farm is not the first joint project for
Nordex and Beijing Energy: the wind turbine
manufacturer has already put around 100 mega-
watts on grid for its Chinese customers.
As of May, Nordex will also be providing five
turbines for Ningxia Power’s “Taiyanshan” and
“Mahuangshan I” wind farms. In addition to this,
there are plans to extend the “Mahuangshan II”
project. Nordex is installing the wind farms in
the province of Ningxia, where the turbine manu-
facturing facility jointly operated by Nordex and
Ningxia Power is located.
Ningxia Power last placed a substantial order with
Nordex in autumn last year. The 22 turbines from
the new S82/1500 series, especially designed for
inland locations, and the proven S77/1500 are
now in operation.

First multi-megawatt turbine for Greece
In June we installed the fi rst N90/2500 wind power system in Greece, near the harbour town of
Nafpaktos. Prior to this, only older Nordex turbines in the kilowatt class had been in operation there.
The N90/2500 is part of the “Scopia” project, where Nordex will be installing a further seven turbines
of the same type. Nordex plans to install a total of 40 N90/2500 turbines in Greece by mid 2011.
Giornata Mondiale del Vento
“Giornata Mondiale del Vento”, presumably the world’s longest wind fair, took place in Rome from May 22
until June 20. It is targeted more at the general public rather than at trade visitors. There are still unjustified
reservations about wind power in Italy in particular. “The aim was to make people aware that wind is an
important and strong source of energy and to showcase the technology which is being used to harness it,”
explains Franceso Paolo Liuzzi, managing director of Nordex Italy. Nordex showcased the drive train of a
2.5 MW turbine at the fair.
