The blades for the floating wind farm Les Eoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion (EFGL) have been delivered to the wind terminal at the port of Port-La Nouvelle, France. The vessel FWN Arctic, designed to transport wind components, landed the last sets of blades for the V164 turbines, manufactured by Vestas in Denmark.
EFGL floating wind farm stores 80-meter blades
These blades, which measure 80 meters and weigh 34 tons each, are being stored pending the arrival of the masts and nacelles in September. Once installed, the turbines will reach a height of 186 meters. The EFGL project, led by a consortium of Ocean Winds and Banque des Territoires, will be located more than 16 kilometers off the Mediterranean coast.
The contract with Euroports guarantees logistical support during construction in Port-La Nouvelle, including the assembly of the wind turbines on floating bases. The French operator RTE is already working on connecting the wind farm to the national grid.
