New installations up sharply to some 251 MW

Hamburg, 31 January 2014. 'We were fully satisfied with our business in
Germany last year,' said Nordex CEO Jürgen Zeschky, presenting the
company's figures for new wind turbine installations in Germany. In 2013,
Nordex achieved a roughly 165 percent increase in new installations here.
With a full-year output of 251 megawatts (MW), the Northern Germany-based
company was able to double its market share in this country to 8.4 percent
against the backdrop of an expanding market in which industry-wide onshore
installations rose by a double-digit rate to almost 3,000 MW.

This success was underpinned by the performance of the light-wind turbine
N117/2400, which generated 75 percent of installation volume. Explains
Jürgen Zeschky: 'The N117/2400 is generating good sales figures, which are
continuing to climb. With is high efficiency, we are able to render
numerous light-wind locations economically viable and thus satisfy the
German federal government's new requirements. What is more, we are
registering interest in wind turbines of this type in more and more markets
beyond Germany.' Thus, the Group's global installation volume surged by
over 36 per cent last year, with the N117/2400 accounting for a good one
out of five turbines installed.

Nordex expects to record growing installation numbers in its domestic
market in 2014. 'We have been anticipating this trend for quite some time
now as uncertainty surrounding future tariff structures in Germany is
triggering pull-forward effects,' says Zeschky. With its large proportion
of export business and strong position in numerous international growth
markets, the group sees itself well positioned to weather short-term
fluctuation in 2015 in Germany. Looking further into the future, the German
federal government is planning a stable course for growth in inexpensive
electricity from onshore wind turbines, with new capacity of a good 2,500
MW to be installed each year.
