UK consultancy LOC Group has won a contract to provide marine warranty surveying services for three offshore wind farms developed by EDF and Enbridge in France.
The company will work on the 450MW Courseulles-sur-Mer, 498MW Fécamp and 480MW Saint-Nazaire sites off the country’s Atlantic coast.
The facilities will be the first offshore wind farms installed in France, LOC said.
Financial close is expected this year and construction is scheduled to start in 2018.
“As the very first turbines to be built in French waters, these are important projects for the development of France’s offshore wind industry,” LOC France managing director Hugues Delanoue said.
“We are proud to be providing full and independent third-party technical review and approval of the construction and transportation project operations over the entire contract.”
