The Wind Farm Development and Sale unit is a vital division for Gamesa as it provides the company with competitive advantages and complements its wind turbine manufacturing activity. In 2011, Gamesa continued its capital expenditure in the development and sale of wind farms and continued to focus on monetisation, with sales agreements for 286 MW at the end of September with leading worldwide utilities in Poland, Mexico, Greece, Spain and Germany.
Gamesa had 628 MW in the final phases of construction and commissioning at the end of September 2011, and expects a significant increase in activity in the fourth quarter, in terms of sales agreements and completion of wind farm sales in Europe and the US.
