Hamburg, 23 May 2006. REpower  Systems  AG  (WKN  617703)  and  the
French  EDF Energies Nouvelles (EDF EN), a subsidiary of Europe's
largest  energy  supplier EDF, enlarged their framework  agreement
which  has  existed  since  2004.  The contract now comprises the
supply of up to 140 wind energy turbines  of  the  2- megawatt class
to the European key markets of Germany,  France,  Belgium,  Great
Britain, Italy and Portugal before the end of 2008. This corresponds
to a  total capacity of up to 280 megawatts.
A project list for the supply of up to 140 turbines of  the  REpower
MM  series has already been defined and has been fixed in  the
contract.  In  total,  this list comprises twelve projects which are
reserved  for  REpower  and  which  are expected be realised in 2007
and 2008.
By signing the framework agreement,  both  companies  envisage
extending  their strategic  partnership  in  connection  with  the
realisation  of  wind  energy projects in the  years  to  come.
Common  business  activities  shall  also  be expanded to Eastern and
Southern Europe from 2008.
Once the contract has entered into  force,  the  first  projects
shall  be  the realisation of Luc sur Orbieu  windfarms  in  France
(eight  MM70  turbines  in Département Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon
region) and the "Bicker" project  in  the UK (13 MM82 turbines in
Lincolnshire).
"Our high quality requirements are paying off. Again one of the  most
important wind developers has chosen us as key supplier",  comments
the  CEO  of  REpower Systems AG, Prof. Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, after
having  signed  the  contract  and adds: "The partnership with EDF EN
is until now the most important step for  our growth strategy. In
addition to this we can jointly enter attractive markets  as e.g. in
Eastern and Southern Europe."
"The contract with REpower is a key for our development in Europe and
a  natural milestone in  our  long-term  relationship  with  one  of
the  leading  turbine suppliers", says the COO of EDF EN, Yvon André.
