Draka Offshore to Supply Subsea Array Cabling for Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm Off the North Welsh Coast

DRAMMEN, Norway, January 7, 2011 - RWE npower renewables has today announced the award of a multi-million
pound inter-array cabling contract(1) to Draka Offshore for Gwynt y Môr
Offshore Wind Farm, off the North Wales coast.

At 576MW, Gwynt y Môr will be one of the largest offshore wind farms
currently in construction, and is being built by RWE npower renewables. The
project is a shared investment between partners RWE Innogy, Stadtwerke
München and Siemens(2). Once fully operational, energy generation from Gwynt
y Môr is expected to be equivalent to the average annual needs of around
400,000 homes(3).

The Gwynt y Môr contract, valued at more than euro 25m, requires Draka to
deliver approximately 148kms of three core 33 kV cable during 2012 and 2013,
with a full range of cable accessories and logistical solutions. Production
is expected to start in the second half of 2011.

Announcing the latest contract award, RWE npower renewables' Gwynt y Môr
Project Director, Toby Edmonds said: "We're very pleased to welcome Draka on
board with the Gwynt y Môr development, to provide the core inter-array
cabling for the project. We have spent many months working closely with
potential suppliers on the optimum design of the array cable network and we
feel that Draka's expertise, flexibility and focus will be an important asset
to the success of the project."

Martin Dale, commercial director for the Draka Offshore Division,
commented: "In the past nine months, Draka has won contracts for three major
offshore wind farms, won a design contract for a fourth and has recently
supplied subsea power cables for tidal and wave energy in Scotland.

"The total order intake this year and factory load in the coming three
years has exceeded our expectations and is a confirmation of the strength of
Draka in this market segment. Draka has an outstanding reputation for
delivering quality products and services, especially in the subsea
environment. This outstanding reputation has led to a quick market entry for
our new offshore wind inter-array products and services where we pride
ourselves on close partnerships with our customers, essential for the
satisfactory completion of each project."

Draka Offshore is a full service, engineering leader that delivers
complete and highly valued cabling solutions to the offshore renewable energy
grid, oil and gas and marine markets. Draka Offshore uses 11 production
facilities and distribution in all major markets. Draka Offshore is a part of
the Industry and Specialty Group of Draka Holding N.V.

Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm is being constructed 13 kilometres off the
North Wales coast, in water depths of 12-28 metres, and was granted approval
by DECC (Department of Energy and Climate Change) back in December 2008.

Construction of the euro 2billion Gwynt y Môr project began in November
2009 when work to prepare land at St Asaph for the construction of a new
132/400kV substation was carried out by North Wales civil engineering company
Jones Bros.

Turbine foundation installation is expected to start in the fourth
quarter of 2011, and is expected to last for approximately two years.

Editors notes

(1) The contract covers the provision of cabling, installation
accessories, managed logistics and optional installation support services.

(2) GyM represents a total investment of more than EUR2 billion, shared
between RWE npower renewables' parent company RWE Innogy(60%); Stadtwerke
München, Munich's Municipal Utility(30%); and Siemens(10%).

(3) Energy predicted to be generated by the proposal is derived using
wind speeds monitored in the local area. This enables a calculation to be
made to estimate the average annual energy production for the site based on
160 turbines each of rated capacity 3.6 MW. The energy capture predicted and
hence derived homes equivalent figures may change as further data are
gathered. Equivalent homes supplied is based on an annual electricity
consumption per home of 4700 kWh. This figure is supported by recent domestic
electricity consumption data available from The Digest of UK Energy
Statistics and household estimates and projections from the UK Statistics
Authority.
