Ocean Winds has announced the installation of the first wind turbine at the Dieppe Le Tréport offshore wind farm (EMDT). Located off the coast of Le Tréport and Dieppe in France, the project will comprise 62 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 500 MW. With the offshore substation already installed, the first turbine is expected to begin generating electricity in the coming weeks as turbines are progressively connected to the grid.
The wind turbines are being supplied by Siemens Gamesa, with nacelles and blades primarily manufactured at its facility in Le Havre. Tower sections are produced in Bilbao and pre-equipped in Brest. The project's foundations are manufactured in Fene, Spain, and stored in Cherbourg ahead of installation. The offshore substation was built by Chantiers de l’Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire, while the subsea cables are produced in Greece.
