Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

For the previous fiscal year 2008 Bilfinger Berger Power Services GmbH (BBPS) is once again able to present an altogether gratifying balance sheet for all divisions. This is unusually good news in view of the dramatic crisis in the financial markets and its effect

on the economy as a whole. As a matter of fact, the energy and industry is Letter of the Management hardly affected by these turbulences. The power demand continues to rise all over the world, for demographic reasons alone. There is in particular a continued demand for clean and efficient power stations which save resources and protect our environment. As specialists in this area in 2008 the companies of the BBPS Group have once again obtained many major and minor orders in addition to the already comfortable backlog of orders. In view of the solid financial situation of the Group the necessary investments were no problem.

In 2008 the companies of the Group continued to form the planned integrated whole; worthy of particular mention is the successful merger of the former EHR and of the piping division of BBS into BHR Hochdruck-Rohrleitungsbau GmbH. The new company is the unchallenged market leader in piping construction for power stations.

All companies of Bilfinger Berger Power Services GmbH were to a large extent involved in the construction of sophisticated new power stations and conversions in and Europe. An example of the excellent development of our activities outside Europe is Bilfinger Berger Power Holdings (Pty) Ltd. (BBPH) in South Africa, to name just one. At the new production location of Pretoria this company started with the manufacture of pressure parts and is on its way to continue the excellent development in the South African market.

We are very optimistic that the remarkable development of the previous year will also continue in future. Bilfinger Berger Power Services remains on course for growth. With complex investments in the future our companies prepared themselves in 2008 for the future challenges of the market. Numerous new employees were recruited; the number of apprentices has almost doubled.

The Group places special emphasis on the strengthening and further development of its engineering competence in its divisions of steam generators, piping systems as well as environmental, nuclear and magnetic engineering. On this basis we see ourselves excellently prepared for the challenges of the energy market.

Special thanks go once again to our customers and suppliers. The management and our “Bilfinger Berger Power Services whole team of excellent employees will continue to be reliable partners to you.

remains on course for growth.” Yours faithfully

Based on the experience enriched with CO2 by recirculated waste gas. An important condition gained with this plant Vattenfall intends to build another two 300 for the subsequent CO2 treatment is that after precipitation the MW power stations in Germany and Denmark in order to make the sulphur dioxide existing in the flue gas is largely removed in order Oxyfuel technology for an emissions-neutral CO2 separation ready to ensure the highest possible CO2 purity in the further process. for serial production on a large-scale technical basis.

Turbomachine Technology: Growth perspectives are developed by new and old services

After the restructuring of its former parent company a few years Special features of this area are consulting and engineering services, In view: Communicating and implementing solution competence For the near future it is planned to extend the portfolio by an internal ago Babcock Borsig Service GmbH (BBS) used to be primarily full inspections and repairs, building site service for the solution of BBS-TT has already introduced itself as a competent team to all service workshop for turbomachines. In addition, the service offer associated in the market with boiler-making but not with turbo­ problems including the mobile processing of parts and components major power utility companies and has been able to obtain several to customers is to be extended from individual services to full plant machines. Based on the planned orientation of the company up to the manufacture and supply of spare parts. orders. The first few orders have in the meantime been successfully service in order to secure economical operation. Based on intensified towards complete power plants and in view of the demand for processed. One of these was the large inspection of a 25 MW cooperation and by development of a centre of competence, both services beyond the boiler scope, BBS decided a good two years ago Under control: Displaying engineering competence machine at the industrial power station of Premnitz. The customer within BBPS and also in cooperation with other areas of the Bilfinger not to give up its department of Turbomachine Technology (TT) but A distinction from competitors is achieved by outstanding was in particular convinced by the solution-oriented quotation. Its Berger Group, the turbomachine service will considerably contribute to re-establish it in the market. By means of an extension of existing engineering competence. This is characterised in particular by high expectations were confirmed by the timely and smooth processing. to an extension of the service offer to power stations and industrial competence BBS wants to take up the tradition in the area of turbine flexibility with regard to the solution of complex issues in the areas This was even topped by the quick and reliable reaction of BBS-TT customers. service. In the meantime the department has taken the first of construction and calculation up to assessment and consulting to an accident damage which occurred at this plant. successful steps in this direction and is increasingly noticed by services.

We train apprentices

The Bilfinger Berger Power Services Group regards the training of Making demands and providing support High level of training young people as a social obligation. In view of our good future The contents of training for each apprenticeship are continuously The final examination results reached by our apprentices which prospects it is a welcome fact that we have an urgent need for extended and adjusted at BBPS according to the technical range from good to excellent reflect the high quality of training at The entire training programme of the BBPS Group includes the young, motivated and well trained employees. The future has quite requirements. Especially in the training area of welding and in the Bilfinger Berger Power Services. To meet the increasing and changing following training courses and apprenticeships: a lot in store for us. In fiscal year 2008 the company employed 119 practical training at the factory the company requirements are well requirements of the market the companies of the Group continue new apprentices and the total number of apprentices has almost above the standards of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce. to include new areas of training into their programme.
