The topside will follow on the evening of 17 or 18 August, the port added.
DEME Offshore installed pin piles for the foundation in April.
A consortium of Atlantique Offshore Energy, GE Grid Solutions and SDI/DEME Group was awarded the EPCI contract for the Saint-Nazaire offshore substation in 2019.
The wind farm, which is being developed by an EDF-led consortium, will feature 80 GE Haliade 150-6MW turbines.
It is expected online next year.
