SSE Renewables has installed the final onshore turbine at the 28 MW Chaintrix-Bierges and Vélye Wind Farm in the Grand-Est region (Marne) France.
Construction completion of the final turbine by SSE Renewables at the site follows close collaboration with expert technicians from turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa, which supplied and safely installed each of the eight SG 3.4-132 MW units at the wind farm. Commissioning and testing of turbines will now commence and continue until the site becomes fully operational, which is expected by the end of 2024. The project is SSE’s first onshore wind farm in construction in France. Delivery of the wind farm represents a total capital investment of more than EUR 30 million (US$ 33 million) by SSE Renewables.
