MADRID (Reuters) - Siemens Gamesa (MC:SGREN), which overtook Vestas (CO:VWS) last year to become the world's No.1 wind turbine maker, on Friday said the order book remained steady in the second quarter, citing record onshore order intake and price stabilization.
Most recent rankings by consultancy firms GlobalData and MAKE show Siemens Gamesa claiming the top spot in terms of sold turbine capacity last year, overtaking Danish rival Vestas (CO:VWS) in a race to cater the competitive wind power sector.
Majority owned by Germany's Siemens (DE:SIEGn) following a merger of its wind power business with Spain's Gamesa, Siemens Gamesa said second-quarter order intake for its onshore business stood at 2.5 GW, up 54 percent from a year earlier
