Broadwind Energy's wholly owned subsidiary, Tower Tech Systems, has signed a
contract with Nordex USA to manufacture wind tower sections. Another Broadwind
subsidiary, Badger Transport, has received a contract to deliver the sections to
various Texas locations for Nordex.

These contracts mark the first for Broadwind with Nordex, a Germany-based wind
turbine manufacturer. The four-section towers will support Nordex's N90 2.5MW
turbines. Tower Tech expects to supply the first Nordex sections in early 2009.


The integrated order represents the first time Broadwind has included logistics
co-ordination in its service package and is the first order for Tower Tech's new
plant in Abilene, Texas.

Broadwind announced construction of the Abilene facility, along with a second
facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in May 2008. Both facilities are expected
to be operational in the first quarter of 2009.

Cameron Drecoll, Broadwind's CEO, said: "We are making wind energy more
efficient, less costly and more financially competitive with integrated and
broad supply chain solutions
