Iberdrola, through its subsidiary Ailes Marines, has awarded the joint venture Navantia-Windar the construction of 62 jackets - platforms that support offshore wind turbines - and the piles needed for the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm, which the energy company is developing in the waters of French Brittany.
The contract, the total amount of which amounts to EUR350 million (US$392.8 million), represents the largest in Navantia-Windar's history in the offshore wind sector and was signed this morning at the Navantia shipyard in Fene (A Coruña) by the president Iberdrola, Ignacio Galán, the President of Navantia, Susana de Sarriá and the President of Windar, Orlando Alonso, in the presence of the President of the Xunta de Galicia, Alberto Núñez Feijóo and the Government delegate in Galicia, Javier Losada.
Specifically, the agreement includes the manufacture of the jackets by Navantia at its facilities in Fene and the piles by Windar at its headquarters in Avilés. The final assembly of all the subsets will be carried out at the facilities of the Galician shipyards.
The Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm will have a capacity of about 500 MW and will be able to generate enough clean energy to satisfy the electricity consumption of nearly a million people. Located in the waters of French Brittany, in an area of approximately 78 km2, the facility plans to start operations in 2023.
