Vestas receives 100 MW order for China                                          

Vestas has received two orders each consisting of 25 units of the V80-2.0 MW    
wind turbine for the Danianzi I and the Bolike II projects in China.            

Both projects are located 150 km northeast of Chifeng in Inner Mongolia in the  
northern part of China. The contracts include supply of the turbines including  
towers, the VestasOnlineTM Business SCADA solution and a two-year maintenance   
and service agreement.                                                          

The orders have been placed by Datang (Chifeng) Renewable Power Co., Ltd., a    
subsidiary of China Datang Corporation. China Datang is one of the leading wind 
power developers in China with a nationwide presence.                           

“The Chifeng area in Inner Mongolia has some of the richest wind resources in   
China, and Vestas has a long experience dealing with the local conditions in the
area,” says Thorbjørn N Rasmussen, President of Vestas Asia Pacific A/S, and    
continues: “Datang is one of the leading wind power operators in China and a    
long-term customer of Vestas. We are happy and very proud that Datang once again
chooses Vestas as supplier for their projects and the orders underline our good 
cooperation with Datang.”                                                       

Delivery of the turbines is scheduled to begin in the end of 2008 with          
completion expected during the first half of 2009.                              

The above orders do not affect the Vestas Group's expectations for 2008, cf.    
Company announcement No. 25/2008 of 8 May 2008.
