EDF Renewables, Enbridge subsidiary EIH, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Skyborn have inaugurated the 497 MW Fécamp Offshore Wind Farm, located off France’s northern coast.
“The successful completion of the Fécamp Offshore Wind Farm marks a significant milestone for Enbridge and our project partners,” says Enbridge’s Matthew Akman.
“Following the successful completion of Saint-Nazaire in 2022, Enbridge continues to advance the development and construction of several offshore wind projects in France, including the Provence Grand Large floating offshore wind project, and the Calvados, Dunkirk and Normandy offshore wind projects. These projects further highlight our commitment to being a leader in the energy transition and providing clean and secure energy to the region. Thank you to our partners – EDF Renewables, CPP Investments, and Skyborn – with whom we have helped to grow the French offshore wind industry.”
The wind farm has relied on regional infrastructures and skills to help build the project, including construction of the 71 gravity-based foundations and production of the wind turbine blades, nacelles and generators in Le Havre, and pre-assembly of components in Cherbourg.
