Vestas receives order for 36 wind turbines for Spain                            

Vestas has received an order for a total of 36 wind turbines for the Pujalt and 
the Turo del Magre projects in Catalonia in Spain. The order comprises 26 units 
of the V90-2.0 MW wind turbine and 10 units of the V90-1.8 MW wind turbine. The 
order includes supply, installation, commissioning, as well as a five-year      
service and maintenance agreement. The Pujalt wind power plant will be located  
in Pujalt (Barcelona), and the Turo del Magre wind power plant will be located  
between San Guim de Freixenet (Lerida) and Montmaneu (Barcelona).               

At the customer's request, details about the project ownership cannot be        
disclosed at this time.                                                         

The two wind power plants, with a total capacity of 70 MW, will be the first    
wind power plants to be established by Vestas in Catalonia. The region has a    
total installed capacity of 225 MW, and a target of 1,000 MW installed by 2010. 

“We are very pleased with the strong commitment to wind in Spain. As of July    
2007, Spain has a total installed wind capacity of 12,800 MW, and a target of   
25,155 MW installed by 2010, 35,000 MW by 2020 and 44,000 MW by 2030, including 
8,000 MW installed offshore,” says Juan Araluce, President of Vestas            
Mediterranean A/S, and continues: “The two projects in Catalonia will provide   
enough electricity to power more than 36,000 households in Spain and save the   
environment from approximately 97 tons of CO2 per year.”                        

Delivery of the wind turbines is scheduled to start in December 2008 for the    
Pujalt project and in June 2009 for the Turo del Magre project. Commissioning is
expected in July and December 2009, respectively.                               

The above order does not affect Vestas' expectations for 2007 and 2008, cf.     
Company announcement No. 35/2007 of 6 November 2007.
