In December 2001, a 5 kW beam was accelerated for the first time at GANIL. This performance was achieved after the increase of SSC2 dee voltage from 170 kV to 200 kV. Moreover, several technical developments have been done, to improve the operation with high intensity beams, and a new electrostatic deflector is under construction in order to reduce losses and activation at the exit of SSC2. This paper presents an overview of these works and the main results on the last accelerated beams.
