The grid connection infrastructure, comprising both offshore and onshore components, has been developed and is operated by France’s transmission system operator (TSO) Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE).
EMYN is a subsidiary of Ocean Winds, in partnership with Sumitomo Corporation, Banque des Territoires, and Vendée Énergie, all of which also hold equity stakes.
“This major milestone — first power supplied to the national grid — marks not only a technical achievement for the project but also a defining moment for Ocean Winds, as we deliver our very first offshore wind-generated electrons in France,” said Marc Hirt , Country Manager for France at Ocean Winds.
Alongside EMYN, Ocean Winds is currently advancing construction at the Dieppe Le Tréport wind farm and the 30 MW Les Eoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion (EFGL) floating project in France.
In addition, the company, in partnership with Banque des Territoires, was awarded a new 250 MW floating offshore wind project in the Mediterranean at the end of last year.
