Overall, capacity in service or under construction at year-end 2009 came to 219.7MWp, compared to 49.9MWp at the end of 2008. The group has exceeded the target it announced at the beginning of 2009 of 100MWp to 150MWp in service or under construction.

The latter half of the year saw the commissioning of large ground-based facilities, such as the 10.5MWp La Roseraye plant on Reunion Island and the 23.4MWp Arnprior plant in Canada.
