Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has been awarded the firm order from the EDF Renewables-Enbridge-wpd consortium for the 448 MW Courseulles-sur-Mer offshore wind power project. Both the wind turbine nacelles and blades for the facility are scheduled to be produced at the Siemens Gamesa facility currently under construction in Le Havre.
The 448 MW project will rely upon the stable technology of the SWT-7.0-154 Direct Drive offshore wind turbine. Installation and commissioning of the Courseulles-sur-Mer project is scheduled for 2024.
