Hamburg/Brussels, 28 February 2008. REpower
Systems AG, the third largest German manufacturer of wind turbines 
(WKN 617703), and Electrabel (SUEZ Group) have signed an agreement 
under which Electrabel promises to order a maximum of 250 REpower 
wind energy turbines with a total capacity of up to 500 megawatts 
(MW). The turbines are of the REpower MM82 and MM92 class with 2 
megawatts each and hub heights of 80 and 100 meters and will be 
delivered in the period from 2009 to 2011 for the construction of 
wind farms in Europe.
This agreement shows the ambition of Electrabel and the SUEZ Group to
develop their renewable energy generation capacity. The company has 
set itself the goal of having 18 per cent of its capacity come from 
renewable sources by 2009. To achieve this, it is developing a 
balanced European portfolio of renewable energy sources based on 
multiple technologies (hydropower, biomass, photovoltaic energy and 
wind power). So far, Electrabel already has more than 5,500 megawatts
(MW) of capacity generated from renewable sources, of which 655 MW 
comes from wind farms in Belgium, France, Portugal, the Netherlands 
and Italy.
The agreement reflects REpower´s engagement in its core markets like 
France and Belgium as well as entering promising eastern European 
markets such as Poland.
Per Hornung Pedersen, CEO of REpower Systems AG, said: "We are 
delighted about this major order from our new client. It shows 
Electrabel´s high confidence in our company and its reliable 
technology and enables us to grow further in significant European 
markets."
