The increase was helped by a 43% growth in sales, which reached €820 million in the first three months of this year. Gamesa sold 712MW of turbines, 25.6% more than the same period last year.
Most of the Spanish manufacturer's activity came from outside Europe. India (27%) and China (24%) made up over half of the company's orders in the quarter.
In February, Gamesa won 260MW in deals in India with developers Greenko and CLP.
