The Yeu-Noirmoutier offshore wind farm project continues to consolidate its development on the French Atlantic coast, making significant progress both offshore and onshore. This renewable energy renewable energy represents one of the largest offshore infrastructure deployments in France.
In mid-June, the DEME Group successfully completed the installation of the foundations for the wind turbines, using the specialized vessel Innovation specialized vessel Innovation. This operation was carried out in three phases: drilling of the seabed, placement of monopiles and assembly of transition pieces.
These structures serve as the base for wind generators, designed to withstand the harsh ocean conditions.
At the same time, the laying of submarine cables continues apace. Since March 1, Louis Dreyfus TravOcean has installed more than 90 kilometers of cabling, connecting the turbines to each other.
On June 22, the 61st cable was completed, marking an important advance in the electrical interconnection of the park.
Currently, 36 wind turbines are already in operation, supplying offshore wind power to the national grid.
Collaborative effort for offshore wind farm
The Yeu-Noirmoutier offshore wind farm is being developed with the participation of several companies, scientific organizations and associations. The GIS EMYNa research network promoted by EMYN, brings together universities, scientific centers and private companies.
Its objective is to study the environmental impact of the installation of the offshore wind farm and share technical knowledge with the community.
