Joint venture Navantia-Windar has taken receipt of the first components manufactured by local companies in Brest for the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm in France.
The delivery consists of more than 1500 steel elements (nodes, internal platforms of the transition pieces, component supports) manufactured in Brest.
These elements make up the stabbings of the jackets, one of the largest pieces of the infrastructure. More than 30 units, weighing 36 tonnes each, have been already manufactured in France, out of a planned total of 186.
The remaining ones will be manufactured during 2021 and part of 2022.
Navantia-Windar is manufacturing 62 jackets and pilots for the St Brieuc offshore wind farm.
The contract, signed in 2020 with Iberdrola-Ailes Marine, includes the manufacturing and final assembling in Fene, Spain, manufacturing of the piles in Aviles, Spain, as well as the fabrication of some components in Brest by local companies.
