Subtitle: Turnkey construction / installation to start in autumn
Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 1 August 2011. Nordex has obtained an order from
Eolia Renovables to supply 15 N100/2500 wind turbines. Eolia is one of the
leading independent European generators of power from renewable sources. The
company is calling in the turbines from a master agreement signed with Nordex in
2007. In addition to delivery of the machines, the order also includes turnkey
installation of the wind farm. Furthermore, Eolia Renovables is taking advantage
of the Nordex Premium Service.
The 37.5 megawatt wind farm "Sant Antoni" is being built in the Spanish region
of Catalonia. Nordex plans to complete the infrastructure work and foundation
construction by autumn so that the turbines can be set up in the course of this
year. The annual energy yield is expected to be around 93,000 megawatt hours.

Nordex wind farms there. "Caramonte", with 22 N90/2500 machines, also ranks
among the largest Nordex projects in Spain and belongs to Eolia as well.
