Ocean Winds has selected the maintenance port for its EFGL floating offshore wind project in the French Mediterranean.
The 30MW floater project, entitled Les Eoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion (EFGL), will have its maintenance site at Euroports’ Port-la-Nouvelle.
Ocean Winds and Banque des Territoires are behind the EFGL project, which is set to deliver renewable power for over 50,000 coastal residents.
Ocean Winds said it chose Port-la-Nouvelle as the site is a growing hub for the energy transition in the Mediterranean and “a strategic location” for floating wind development.
It is expected the EFGL project will launch in the spring of 2025 and have an operating life of 20 years.
The project will feature three Vestas V164 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 10MW.
