Ailes Marines, an Iberdrola subsidiary, has introduced the on-schedule full set up of 62 offshore generators on the Saint-Brieuc wind farm.
Norwegian firm Fred Olsen’s Courageous Tern jack-up vessel put in the final 8 MW wind turbine at place SB49 on Dec. 17. The ship had made 18 rotations from Le Havre, with parts of as much as 4 generators on board. The generators, constructed by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Vitality, had been put in on their jacket basis.
“We’re notably pleased with the work carried out by our groups throughout the schedule initially introduced,” says Iberdrola France’s Stéphane Alain Riou. “Iberdrola as soon as once more demonstrates its skill to hold out a large-scale venture right here in Brittany, and on the similar time confirms its standing as a frontrunner in offshore wind energy. Saint-Brieuc is the primary French offshore wind farm and the 4th in Europe developed and constructed by the group.”
The technical commissioning of the wind farm began with the connection of the primary wind turbine to the nationwide electrical energy grid in July, with an anticipated completion within the first quarter of subsequent 12 months .
On completion, the wind farm can have an put in capability of 496 MW, producing roughly 1,820 GWh per 12 months, says the corporate.
