May 4, 202 - France anchors its future in floating offshore wind The innovative EFGL project, off the coast of France, is the only floating wind installation on semi-submersible foundations in the Mediterranean Sea. Enlit On The Road visited Port La Nouvelle to speak with Jérémy de Barbarin, Project Director of EFGL, about why this first-of-a-kind project signals an important starting point for a broader expansion of floating offshore wind in French waters. EFGL, developed by Ocean Winds, is one of three floating offshore wind projects under various stages of development off the coast, the result of a tender awarded by the State in 2016. The project features the largest turbines ever installed on this type of floating foundation, with its three 10MW units able to generate enough electricity to supply around 50,000 people. In this video, you`ll learn: 1.28 - What is unique about the EFGL floating wind project? 2.03 - What are the challenges of commercialising a project like EFGL? 2.53 - What financial mechanisms were put in place to help the project get underway? 3.35 - What lessons were learned from the Windfloat Atlantic project 4.50 - What does a project like this mean for the local economy? 5.48 - How did the port infrastructure need to be updated to accommodate this project? 7.10 - How do you develop the skills needed for a floating wind project? 7.38 - What does this project signal for the trajectory of floating wind in France and Europe? |
