If the producer of electricity from wind energy can be proud of having agreements with its major creditors to reduce its debt, investors themselves have mostly held that accompanied this restructuring – subject to acceptance general meeting in early 2010 – a capital increase to a maximum of about 100 million euros from current shareholders, whose holdings would then be diluted.
