First Turbine Installed for 500 MW Offshore Wind Farm in France

Ocean Winds, the international offshore wind energy company jointly owned by EDP Renewables and ENGIE, announced the successful installation of the first wind turbine at the Dieppe Le Tréport offshore wind farm (EMDT), marking a key milestone in the project’s construction phase.

Located off the coast of Le Tréport and Dieppe, EMDT will comprise a total of 62 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 500 MW, capable of supplying renewable electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 850,000 people. As majority shareholder, Ocean Winds is leading the development and delivery of the project, bringing its global expertise across construction and future operations.

With the offshore substation already installed, the first turbine is expected to start generating electricity in the coming weeks, as turbines are connected one by one to the grid and therefore marking the progressive ramp-up of renewable power production from the wind farm in France.

This milestone comes in a year of strong delivery for Ocean Winds in France. Since the beginning of 2026, the company has brought the Îles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier offshore wind farm into full operation and delivered first power from the Éoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion floating project, illustrating its ability to execute across technologies and project phases simultaneously.
