Following in-depth annual maintenance work at its home port in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, expected to last one to three months, Aeolus will return to the St Brieuc site in the first quarter of 2023.
It will continue drilling and pile installation operations on the remaining 22 wind turbine positions out of a total of 62.
At the same time, the campaign to lay the array cables supplied and installed by Prysmian, will begin at the site during December, depending on weather conditions.
