6 December 2010

                         ROLLS-ROYCE WINS $110 MILLION                         
                     IN NEW CONTRACTS FOR ENERGY PROJECTS                      

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won new contracts valued at
over $110 million for energy projects in Europe, Africa, India and 
the Middle East. As part of these contracts, Rolls-Royce will deliver both power
generation and pipeline transmission products and services.

Andrew Heath, Rolls-Royce, President - Energy said: "We are pleased to announce
these new contracts, which demonstrate the confidence customers have in our
product technology and performance. Rolls-Royce continues to grow in the
important global power generation and oil and gas markets, powering pipelines
in 24 countries and delivering electricity generation capability in over 
50 countries."

Two RB211 gas turbine power generation packages have been ordered by the 
Total Oil Company to provide power to an oil facility in the Middle East, which 
will utilize gas fuel that would otherwise have been burned off, thereby increasing
the efficiency of the operation.

Two additional RB211 turbines, powering gas compression packages, will be
supplied to Slovenský plynárenský priemysel, a.s. (SPP) for use in a compressor
station, which is part of their gas transmission network in Central Europe.
Rolls-Royce has already provided five turbines to the gas transmission system,
which last year enabled the network to deliver 66 billion cubic meters of gas
to homes and businesses.

Also included in the new contracts, Rolls-Royce will provide Bergen
reciprocating engines to customers in Tanzania, Madagascar, India and Spain to
efficiently generate electricity.

In the energy markets, Rolls-Royce has supplied more than 15,000 units to
customers in nearly 120 countries and is investing in new products and
capabilities for the oil and gas industry and for distributed electricity
generation.
