Iberdrola plans construction of 496 MW Saint Brieuc offshore wind farm in May

Iberdrola SA plans to start the construction of the 496 MW Saint Brieuc offshore wind farm project on May 3, 2021. 

The construction and installations of 65 Siemens Gamesa’s SG 8.0-167 DD turbines will take up to three years with target commissioning before the end of 2023. Iberdrola is implementing the project through its 100%-owned vehicle Ailes Marines.

With an investment of EUR2.4 billion (US$2.257 billion) it is estimated that, once commercialization begins, it will produce 1,820-gigawatt hours (GWh) per year, which will supply energy to 835,000 people.
