Vattenfall, WPD, and BlueFloat Energy have named their project Triskéol for the fifth offshore wind tender off the coast of Southern Brittany.
Triskéol has been prequalified for the French tender since 15 September 2021.
The choice of the name Triskéol fully reflects the combination of three major players in offshore wind with unique expertise who embrace a consultative approach, anchored in the territory close to local stakeholders, the consortium said.
Triskéol is the association of the Triskel, a characteristic symbol of Celtic art, and of Aeolus, the keeper of the winds.
In addition to a strong link with the Breton culture, the name refers to the wind, a natural source of energy, and the wind turbine, which transforms the wind into renewable electricity.
The colors of the logo also reflect the local footprint and the strong identity of Brittany with the choice of black and variations of blue.
The developers said that black of the traditional Breton flag (Gwenn ha du), and the blue-green (Glaz) typical of the Breton seas where the floating wind farm will be located.
The symbol perched over the name of the project evokes, of course, a wind turbine in motion, which turns towards the future.
With the name Triskéol, the consortium of WPD, Vattenfall and BlueFloat Energy blends into the culture of the Brittany region and demonstrates its desire to anchor itself in the territory, the consortium said.
