<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have acted as special counsel to American Superconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the &#147;<U>Company</U>&#148;), in
connection with the registration by the Company of 3,400,000 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the &#147;<U>Shares</U>&#148;), issuable under the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated 2007 Director Stock Plan, as Amended (the
&#147;Director Stock Plan&#148;), and the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the &#147;<U>2022 Plan</U>&#148;, and together with the Director Stock Plan, the &#147;<U>Plans</U>&#148;). The Shares are included in a registration
statement on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-8</FONT> under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;<U>Act</U>&#148;), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;<U>Commission</U>&#148;) on August 28, 2024 (the

matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter.
With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the General Corporation Law

awarded and exercised in accordance with the requirements of law and the Plans (and the agreements and awards duly adopted thereunder and in accordance therewith), the issue and sale of the Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action of the Company, and the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated
shares in the DGCL. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by
