The 496 MW Parc eolien en mer de Dieppe-Le Treport offshore wind project has been awarded the necessary development permit by the authority.
The project, supported by ENGIE, EDPR, Sumitomo Corporation and la Banque des Territoires, will now be able to prepare the farm's construction (foundations, electricity substation, cables between the wind turbines, etc.) and proceed with the calls to tender for subcontractors to manufacture and install the components.
The Dieppe-Le Tréport offshore wind farm, together with Yeu and Noirmoutier island off-shore wind farm project, also being developed by ENGIE, EDPR, Sumitomo Corporation and the Banque des Territoires, will create nearly 3000 direct and indirect jobs. These jobs will come into effect during the construction and operation phases of the farms, notably via the two Siemens Gamesa factories planned at Le Havre and set to be operational in 2021.
Through the construction of these two offshore wind farms (1 GW of cumulative power), the ENGIE – EDPR – Sumitomo Corporation – Banque des Territoires consortium confirms its ambitions in the offshore wind market and its active participation in the consolidation of a French industrial sector.
