It the second largest in the country and the first in the Brittany Region. Iberdrola had completed construction of the wind park in late May 2024, with construction starting in May 2023. The €2.4bn Saint-Brieuc project features 62 Siemens Gamesa’s SG 8.0-167 DD wind turbines and is expected to produce around 1.8 TWh/year.
In May 2024, EDF, Enbridge, CPP Investments, and Skyborn Renewables also inaugurated the 500 MW Fécamp offshore wind park, located off the coast of Normandy, in north-western France.
