Vestas receives order for 32 wind turbines for Spain                            

Vestas has received an order for a total of 32 units of the V90-1.8 MW wind     
turbine for the Mudèfer I and II projects in Spain. The contract includes       
supply, installation, commissioning, a VestasOnlineTM Business SCADA solution as
well as a five-year service agreement.                                          

The Mudèfer projects will be located in the province of Tarragona in the region 
of Catalonia. The wind power plant, with a total capacity of 57.6 MW, will be   
the third wind power plant to be established by Vestas in Catalonia. As of 1    
January 2008, the region had a total installed capacity of 347 MW and a target  
of 1,000 MW installed by 2010.                                                  

Delivery of the wind turbines is scheduled to start in 2009.                    

The order has been placed by Catalana d'Energíes Renovables, S.L. (CATER),      
established with capital from Emte S.A., Fersa Energias Renovables S.A. and     
Vallser S.L., and in February 2008, Fersa acquired 100 per cent of CATER.       

“We are pleased that CATER has chosen Vestas turbines for their first wind power
plant, and we look forward to proving to them that they can rely on Vestas'     
technology,” says Juan Araluce, President of Vestas Mediterranean A/S, and      
concludes: “Furthermore, it is very nice to see Catalonia's growing interest in 
wind energy.”                                                                   

The wind power plant will annually save the environment from approx 96,000 tons 
of CO2 and will be able to meet the electricity needs of more than 35,800       
Spanish households.
