LISBON (Reuters) - EDP Renewables, the wind energy subsidiary of Energias de Portugal, said on Thursday its power generation rose by 27 percent in the first half of 2011, helped mainly by output growth in the United States.
EDPR, the world's fourth-largest wind energy company in terms of installed capacity, said total power generation rose to 8,790 gigawatt hours (GWh), while its U.S. output jumped by 39 percent from a year earlier to 5,105 GWh largely thanks to capacity additions.
Output in Europe rose by 13 percent to 3,657 GWh, while in Brazil it doubled to 29 GWh.
