The orders have been placed by the Vortex Energy Group, which is a leading
German developer. The owner of the projects will be ScanEnergy A/S - a Danish
investor within wind power plants,
“We are very satisfied with these new orders from Vortex Energy that reinforce
Vestas' positive development in the Polish wind energy market, and we look
forward to continuing strengthening our position in the market,” says Klaus

The Dobrzyn project will be located in the province of Kujawsko-Pomorskie in the
Lipnowski region, and the Wronki project will be located in the province of

Delivery of the wind turbines for both projects is scheduled for the end of
2008/beginning of 2009, and commissioning is expected during the second quarter
of 2009.

position in the emerging Polish market and provide a basis for a promising
future business relationship with Vestas,” says Till Jeske, Board Member of
