- General contractor and project development services for wind farm projects
- Internal sales related to build-up of own generation portfolio
- Strong performance of Services business especially with regard to O&M
- Cost of materials increased due to high construction activity for German IPP projects as well as higher project development cost for larger project pipeline
- Personnel expenses increased, driven by increase of number of employees (+68) and higher salaries
