Wind power generating capacity increased
by 19% (1) in 2006 in Europe, the largest wind power market and by 27% in the USA (2). Of its
segments, wind power is EDF Energies Nouvelles' main growth driver in and outside France. With wind farms in operation in
Europe and the US,
wind power currently accounts for 84% of the Group's total installed
capacity.
The 2002 acquisition of enXco, a leading wind energy player in
the US,
gave a considerable boost to our expansion in wind power.
