Joint expansion course

Bremen/Bietigheim-Bissingen, June 1, 2006: With purchase agreement dated May 24, 2006, the Bremenbased WPD-Group has acquired 100% of the shares in EnerSys Gesellschaft für regenerative Energien mbH, Bietigheim-Bissingen. The acquisition is subject to approval of the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of EnerSys’ current shareholder NEVAG, Langenhagen, which will take place beginning of July.

While WPD AG has established as the market leader for financing and implementing wind farm projects, EnerSys, being one of the most successful and renowned wind farm developers in Germany, completes the business portfolio of WPD-Group. With the acquisition, both companies have taken the logical consequence of the joint expansion course adopted two years ago. After the parties have successfully cooperated in setting up a couple of wind farms in Germany, the collaboration also continued with the international project realization of the wind farm “Trtar-Krtolin” (under construction) in Croatia and the newly founded Eastern Europe undertaking WE² GmbH. Both companies follow the goal of implementing international projects in the renewable energies sector.

“With this transaction, we have set an irremovable cornerstone for an aggressive expansion course in the international project realization”, Dr. Klaus Meier, member of the board of WPD AG, sums up. “The quality of the work done by EnerSys and the good cooperation of the last years lead us to this step. Together, our vigor in the interesting future markets will increase another time.”

Dr. Hartmut Brösamle, managing director of EnerSys GmbH: “This step opens enormous development prospects for our company. With WPD AG as a financially strong parent company, we may mobilize our strengths in project development even more targeted and effective – both nationally and internationally.”



WPD hot facts:

With its 100 employees, WPD stands for construction and financing projects in the renewable energies sector, apart of photovoltaic and biogas projects particularly in the wind sector. Until now, more than 80 wind farms with an investment volume exceeding € 1.2 billion (installed capacity: 890 megawatts) have been implemented. With a placed equity capital in excess of € 300 million, WPD has continuously been the marked leading syndication house for wind energy projects in Germany during the last years. The company administers the commercial and technical management for over 110 wind farms with a capacity of roughly 1,400 megawatts.

WPD also has a strong expertise in the international markets, where it is acting as co-developer and financer for international wind energy projects. Furthermore, the company with its main seat in Bremen and offices in Magdeburg, Stockholm and London is also involved in the development of offshore wind farms in Germany and Sweden. The creditworthiness of the company is underlined by an “A” credit rating of Euler Hermes GmbH (Allianz-Group), which it obtains since years.
