French company Bourbon has been selected to install the mooring for Ideol’s 2MW Floatgen floating offshore wind turbine off Saint-Nazaire.
The award was first reported by subscriber-only reNEWS.
Floatgen’s floating platform is currently being put together at the harbour and will feature a 2MW Vestas V80 turbine.
The device is scheduled to be completed onshore in September and installed at the test site before the end of this year.
