The marine energy business unit of French shipbuilder Chantiers de l’Atlantique, Atlantique Offshore Energy, has won contracts to carry out preventive maintenance on two substations for future French offshore wind farms.
The multi-year maintenance contracts will see Atlantique Offshore Energy provide associated services on electrical substations on the Éoliennes en Mer Îles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier (EMYN) and Eoliennes en Mer Dieppe Le Tréport (EMDT) offshore wind farms.
The two offshore wind farms are developed by Ocean Winds, Sumitomo Corporation, and Banque des Territoires. The trio is joined by Vendee Energie on the EMYN project.
The EMYN project is currently under construction and it is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. It will consist of 61 wind turbines with a capacity of 8MW each. The electrical substation was installed in mid-June 2024.
The wind farm will have a total capacity of 496MW and produce approximately 1.9GWh per year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 800,000 people.
The EMDT offshore wind farm will have 62 8MW wind turbines and the offshore substation is being built by Chantiers de l’Atlantique. Completion of construction is set for the end of 2026.
