Ditlev Engel, President and CEO of Vestas Wind Systems A/S, adds: “It is an important chapter in the
history of Vestas and wind power, when a major world-wide player like EDF EN signs up an
agreement of this volume proving that today wind power is mainstream. This share of wallet
agreement is expected to have a potential of up to 2,000 MW or more for Vestas. The frame
agreement is the result of a close collaboration and a strong relationship between EDF EN and
Vestas, and I would like to thank EDF EN for their trust in our technology, our employees and our
capabilities and my colleagues for their hard work and commitment to make this happen.”

result of a thorough consultation and negotiation process with several global manufacturers. The
competitiveness of Vestas’ products, its extensive range and its high-quality services made the
difference.”

groups have built over nearly 10 years. In addition, it gives us both the visibility we need in order to
pursue our respective developments. There is no doubt that this is a major and crucial deal that will
enable us to provide competitive renewable energy solutions.”

signing of this frame agreement with EDF EN. EDF EN is part of one of the largest utilities in the world
and Vestas is the largest global wind technology and service provider. It is natural that EDF EN is a
key account for Vestas and we have maintained a close business relationship for such a long time.
Both companies are driven by the same mission – to further develop wind power around the globe and
to make it an even more competitive and reliable source of energy.”
