REpower Systems AG has gained an important customer for its 5MW turbine REpower 5M with EWC Cuxhaven GmbH. EWC is a joint venture between E.ON (represented by E.ON Energy Projects GmbH) and the wind park developer WINKRA, which has been part of the Essent Group since 2003. Installation of the wind power turbine is provisionally scheduled to take place at the DEWI-OCC test field in Cuxhaven in December 2006. E.ON/WINKRA has chosen the offshore version of the REpower 5M turbine, which has a helicopter deck, emergency room and other special facilities for the operation of this type at sea.

Gamesa Eólica has secured a new contract with the Japanese firm Toshiba Plant Systems Services Corporation for the delivery in Japan of ten Gamesa G80-2.0 MW wind turbines, which will involve a total installed output of 20MW. The wind turbines contracted are to be supplied to the Kashima wind farm, located in the province of Ibaraki. This contract, amounting to a value of over 12 million euros, includes the delivery of the wind turbines without towers, their installation and subsequent commissioning. Assembly work is scheduled to begin in 2006.

Gamesa Energía has signed its entry into the Scandinavian wind energy market on entering into a contract with the Swedish electrical supply company Vattenfall. The agreement consists in the undertaking to sell to Vattenfall the wind farms currently being developed, with a total installed wind power capacity of 200MW during the 2005-2010 period. The contract, that can reach approximately € 240 million, was signed in Madrid by Gordan Dandanell, Vattenfall's Head of Investment and Project Development and by Fernando Ferrando, on behalf of Gamesa. For Gamesa, this agreement is a step in their wind farm development strategy, as it implies entry into a new market, the Scandinavian one, from which it had so far been absent, in partnership with the Swedish national company.

Gamesa Wind US LLC a subsidiary of Gamesa Eólica has been selected by Horizon Wind Energy (formerly Zilkha Renewable Energy), a wind energy developer owned by Goldman Sachs, for the supply of up to 600MW of wind turbines for projects located in the United States. The agreement between Gamesa and Horizon involves the supply of the full line of Gamesa G8X-2.0 MW products. Most of the manufacturing of these wind turbines will be carried out in the plants that the Spanish company owns in the US. The frame agreement initially calls for the supply of 400 MW with an option for an additional 200 MW. The turbines will be installed during 2006 and 2007. The estimated value of this frame agreement, depending on its final scope and the combination of the wind turbine models, could reach up to US$ 700 million.

Gamesa Eólica has now fully entered the Chinese market with the construction of a wind turbine factory and the signing of contracts for the installation of a total of 302MW of wind-generated power. These latest activities represent the company's largest wind power equipment sales commitment in Asia to date. Specifically, Gamesa Eólica has signed five new contracts with subsidiaries of the China Long Yuan Electric Power Group Corporation, which in turn belongs to the China Guodian Corporation group. These contracts call for the supply of 355 Gamesa Model G58-850 kW wind turbines to various Chinese wind farms. This equipment will be manufactured and assembled at the plant Gamesa is currently building in Tianjin province in China, with a planned budget of over 60 million euros over the next three years. The contracts, valued at over 160 million euros, include the supply of wind turbines without a tower, along with the supervision of their installation and start-up. Assembly work is expected to begin in 2006. Gamesa is currently constructing a wind turbine manufacturing plant in the city of Tianjin. The new plant will have a total surface area of 100,000 m2. The plant will produce Gamesa Models G52-850 kW and G58-850 kW wind turbines. The plant will include areas for warehousing as well as for wind turbine maintenance and service. Other special sections will be used for storing 26 m. and 29 m. blades for the mentioned models. Work on the plant is expected to finish in July of 2006, at which time the first wind turbines destined for the wind farms included in the contracts will begin to roll out of the production line. The agreement was signed with Tianjin Hitech, a public corporation that manages high tech industrial development in the Tianjin area. The plant as well as adjacent facilities will be fully owned by Gamesa.
