After more than three years of planning for Schmidbauer, the Provence Grand Large offshore wind farm off the coast of Fos-sur-Mer in the greater Marseille area is entering the realisation phase.
Already in 2020, Schmidbauer prevailed as project partner for the French client EDF Renouvelables. From April, the team on site will take over the logistics within the harbour area as well as the assembly of the plant components. Three 8.4 MW wind turbines from Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy are to be erected on pyramid-shaped floating foundations. The assembled wind turbines will be towed by tugboats to another port, where Schmidbauer will assist in the preparation for commissioning with a 130-tonne mobile crane. Towed into the open sea, the three turbines will then be installed at their final location. The first hub is scheduled for the beginning of June 2023.
