MHI Vestas to power 30 MW Les eoliennes flottantes du golfe du Lyon (EFGL) floating wind project in Leucate

MHI Vestas has been chosen as preferred wind turbine supplier in the French floating offshore wind market.

Les eoliennes flottantes du golfe du Lyon floating wind project, developed by a consortium including Engie and EDP Renewables, is scheduled to deploy three V164-10.0 MW turbines sitting atop the semi-submersible WindFloat platform from Principle Power, Inc.

The parties plan to use Port La Nouvelle in Southern France as the assembly harbour before the turbines are towed into place more than 16 km off the coast of Leucate and Le Barcares.

The 30 MW pilot project is a continuation of the partnership between EDP Renewables, Engie, and MHI Vestas.
