France's First Floating Windfarm Nears Completion

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Energy major EDF Renouvelables (Paris, France) and Enbridge Incorporated (NYSE:ENB) (Calgary, Alberta) are set to complete France's first offshore windfarm, which will provide 25.2 megawatts (MW) of power and is situated 17 kilometers off Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, near Marseilles, France.

The Provence Grand Large floating offshore wind farm is equipped with three Siemens Gamesa 8.4-MW wind turbines. The subsea cables will be installed from the floaters to the Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône station, with the first flow of electricity anticipated in early 2024 following a testing period.

As Provence Grand Large nears completion, its technological achievements underscore the immense potential of floating offshore windfarms. Beyond the immediate benefits of reducing carbon emissions, the project serves as a catalyst for economic growth and technological advancement.
