Canadian company Boralex has commissioned the 10MW Catesis wind farm in France.
The project is located in the Nord region of the country and features five Vestas V100 2MW turbines.
Catesis is supplying electricity to EDF under a 20-year feed-in premium agreement, which started on 1 June.
Boralex said the wind farm is expected to contribute €1.6m to Boralex’s annualised EBITDA with an annual electricity production estimated at over 32,700 megawatt-hours.
Commissioning of the project increases Boralex’s capacity to 951MW in France and 1987MW globally.
Boralex Europe general manager Nicolas Wolff said: “We’re delighted with the commissioning of the Catesis wind farm which brings us that much closer to our target of 1GW in France.
“Our continued expansion in France, especially in Hauts-de-France, an emerging region for our operations in the country, shows long-term potential.
“This would not be possible without our partners’ trust and the commitment of our teams.”
