PARIS--(Business Wire)--
Regulatory News:

   EDF Energies Nouvelles has announced the signature of a deal with
Clipper Turbine Works, a subsidiary of US manufacturer Clipper
Windpower, to supply 27 wind turbines, each with 2.5 MW in capacity,
to build the La Ventosa wind farm in Mexico.

   This order will help EDF Energies Nouvelles to take a decisive
step forward with its plans to build the 67.5 MW wind farm in Oaxaca,
Mexico. Construction is due to be completed by year-end 2009. The
electricity generated will supply several Wal-Mart stores under a
power purchase agreement that has already been signed.

   enXco, EDF EN's Us subsidiary, will provide supervision of the
construction activities as well as be in charge of the Operation and
Maintenance of the project.
