Wind Energy – Fecamp
The 497 MW Fécamp Offshore Wind Farm, owned by Enbridge, EDF Renewables, CPP Investments and Skyborn Renewables, has officially been inaugurated in Normandy.
The inauguration ceremony was held by the project partners and Roland Lescure, French delegated Minister for Industry and Energy.
Located between 13 and 24 km from the northern coast of France, the wind farm will help support France’s energy transition objectives, which aim to achieve a 33% share of renewable energy in its energy mix by 2030.
From the production of its first megawatt-hour in July 2023, to the installation of the final wind turbine, the Fécamp Offshore Wind Farm has been progressively connected to the national grid.
As of May 15, 2024, it is able to supply nearly 770, 000 people with low-carbon electricity, equivalent to about 60% of the annual electricity consumption of the Seine-Maritime region.
The Fécamp project consists of 71 offshore Siemens Gamesa turbines, each with a generation capacity of 7 MW,
