Jan De Nul Group has signed an offshore wind contract in France. Its French subsidiary Sodraco International SAS will be responsible for the transportation and installation of 80 Offshore Wind Turbines on the 480 MW Saint-Nazaire Offshore Wind Farm (OWF). The contract was awarded by Parc du Banc de Guérande, a joint venture between the French renewable energy company EDF Renewables and the Canadian energy infrastructure company Enbridge.
The Saint-Nazaire OWF is located in the northern part of the Bay of Biscay at nearly 12km from the coast and lies on top of the Banc de Guérande seabed formation. The wind farm will consist of 80 Offshore Wind Turbines supplied by General Electric (GE), which will be installed on top of monopile foundations. The OWF will have a total capacity of 480 MW, which equals 20% of the Loire-Atlantique’s electricity consumption needs.
The turbine installation works are planned to kick off in spring 2022 and will be finalized by the end of 2022.
