The Skyborn Renewables and Cobra consortium have signed a local content agreement during the Seanergy trade show in Paris.
The engagement chart, drawn up by all the local clusters (Aquitaine Blue Energies, Bretagne Ocean Power, Normandie Maritime, Neopolia, Wind’Occ and Sud’Eole) aims to structure a strong French industrial sector for the offshore wind development.
The consortium has been specially formed to answer the AO7 tender off the South Atlantic coast.
It said the local content agreement demonstrates the willingness of the two players to submit a project meeting the expectations of the region, and above all involving the local business network.
Head of AO7 local development for the consortium Antoine Monteillet said: “Skyborn initiated the South Atlantic offshore wind project back in 2013, precisely by involving the regional industrial, economic and harbors, which will play a key role in the realization of this project.”
Originated in 2021, the industrial chart has been offered for signature for each & every offshore wind tenders.
Skyborn, as part of its candidacy has always been signing the document, demonstrating its engagement towards local content.
