TECO-Westinghouse to Assemble New DeWind 2MW D9.2 Wind Turbine Renewable Energy Technology

Round Rock, TX– April 14, 2011 – TECO-Westinghouse will be assembling the newly designed 2 MW turbines for DeWind Co, in its Round Rock, Texas facility. DeWind Co, a wholly owned subsidiary of Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. Ltd (DSME) (SEO: 042660), acquired the rights to an initial 160 MW portion of the Novus
wind project from developer Novus Windpower LLC. The Novus project is the first utility-scale wind project located in the Oklahoma Panhandle and is slated to total 370 MW when fully developed. DeWind Co is actively moving forward to break ground by mid-2011 for the first phase of the project, currently earmarked for commercial operation in early 2012. DeWind will install 40 of its 2 MW D9.2 wind turbines for the 80 MW Phase I, while future phases may utilize new DeWind models currently under development.

“We are very excited by the recent announcement of DeWind regarding their acquisition of the Novus project in Oklahoma,” said Vincent Tang, President of TECOWestinghouse Motor Company. ‘TECO-Westinghouse is committed to bringing green energy projects to Texas and our partnership with DeWind is a key factor in that effort.” According to Richard Fesmire, Director of Operations, “TECO-Westinghouse will be assembling 40 of the technologically advanced D9.2 DeWind turbines here in our Round Rock facility for the first phase and we will be launching production in a few months. DeWind is demonstrating their commitment to be a leader in providing clean, renewable energy solutions in the North American market, and worldwide, and we are excited to be able to assist them in that mission.”

Robert Rugh, President and CEO of DeWind, commented, “The Novus project provides the ideal opportunity for DeWind to showcase the new D9.2 wind turbine with its gridfriendly technology, in one of the best areas for wind generation in North America. The DeWind Novus project will provide significant green job creation to bolster the local economy and provide clean, renewable energy to thousands of homes within the heartland of America. This is a great win-win opportunity for direct and indirect stakeholders in the local community, with the general public benefitting as well.”

The Novus project represents the third DeWind-built wind farm in the Oklahoma-Texas panhandle. When the 80 MW Novus Phase I site enters commercial operation, DeWind expects to have a total of 120 MW of generation capacity on line in the region. TECO-Westinghouse and DeWind have an established relationship in which TECOWestinghouse supplies manufacturing and supply chain expertise for the deployment of the DeWind turbine designs. TECO-Westinghouse has invested heavily in the Round Rock facility, and has a flexible turbine manufacturing set-up that allows for the assembly of multiple turbine designs down the same assembly line. When at full production, the facility will be capable of producing one turbine set, consisting of a nacelle and hub, every eight hour shift. The manufacturing line allows TECOWestinghouse to produce the DeWind D8.2 series, in either the 50 or 60 Hertz configurations, and will soon be set up for the new D9.2 series for the Novus project.

The D9.2 wind turbine is the latest refinement of the proven DeWind 2 MW wind turbine technology, dating back to 2002 when the first DeWind 2 MW wind turbines entered commercial operation. The grid-friendly design of the D9.2 uniquely provides grid-support capability to all grid applications and is well-suited to the Oklahoma
Panhandle setting. Previously, DeWind turbines have been installed in environments ranging from sea level to high elevations in excess of 14,000 ft., and in climates from desert heat to extreme cold. Currently, DeWind 2 MW turbines are installed and operating in numerous locations in Europe, Asia, South America and the US.
