The completion of installations of these three key projects in growth markets is a significant example of our efforts.

Therefore I wish to especially thank our local teams for their effort and our customers for the successful partnerships."
Senvion installed 475 MW in first five months of 2019 against 256 MW installed in corresponding period in 2018. This corresponds to growth of around 86% year over year.
