Wind Energy – Green Megawatts
The first green megawatts produced from Iberdrola’s Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm have been connected into the French national electricity grid by its manager, Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE).
The project is Iberdrola’s first in France, and only the second offshore wind project to produce power in the country.
The production of the wind farm will increase as the 62 wind turbines are installed and commissioned in the months ahead.
The electricity produced is collected by the offshore electrical substation located in the centre of the wind farm. It is transported by two subsea export cables with a voltage of 225 kV installed by RTE to Caroual beach, in Erquy. Electricity is connected into the grid via the Doberie substation located in Hénansal (Côtes-d’Armor).
