Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose by 36.2% to €455.1 million at year end, ahead of the group's objective of €430 million. Net income was also up by 8.4% to reach €106 million.
EDF EN added 273MW gross installed wind capacity in 2010, giving a total of 2923MW, of which 2247MW is on its own account. It reports 918MW gross capacity under construction and 564MW net.
Overall, the group's generation business increased 27.3% to 6133GWh. This was boosted by the full-year contribution of the 106MW Hoosier wind plant in the US and 247MW brought online in Europe.
However, "growth in wind-generated electricity was curbed by a modest full-year effect in Europe owing to the timing of project commissioning," the company says.
