The joint venture made up of Eiffage Métal and DEME has won the EPCI contract to design, manufacture and install the 80 steel monopile foundations for the offshore wind farm at Saint-Nazaire, France. The contract value is more than EUR500 million (US$551 million).
The 480 MW wind farm, belonging to EDF Renouvelables and Enbridge, will be built between 12 and 20 km off the Guérande peninsula in western France. The depth of the foundations ranges between 12 and 25 metres.
The design stage of the project is already under way, with factory production set to begin in the spring of 2020. The first foundations will be installed on a rocky seabed in the spring of 2021 and the project is set for completion in the summer of 2022. The power generated by Saint-Nazaire offshore wind farm will cover the equivalent of 20% of the Loire-Atlantique department's electricity demand. The facility will be brought into operation in 2022.
