The Fécamp offshore wind farm is comprised of 71 Siemens Gamesa SWT-7.0-154 wind turbines with a total capacity of nearly 500 MW, generating clean electricity equivalent to the power needs of over 770,000 people. Let the wind turbines roll!🌬️🌍🔌

Prysmian had secured this project in 2020 with a contract awarded by EDF Renewables and its partners. Let’s keep the wind moving!💨🌊

”This important project marks a further significant milestone for the Group, being one of the first large-scale offshore wind farms located in France, in which the Group has full EPCI responsibility for the inter-array supply and installation contract,” said Alberto Boffelli, Chief Operating Officer Projects BU, Prysmian Group.

”As a one-stop-shop service provider, Prysmian was responsible for the design, manufacture, installation, burial, termination, and testing of a total of 118 km of 33 kV submarine cables with 630mm2 cross-sections and both aluminum and copper cores to connect the 71 wind turbines with a capacity of 7 MW each to the offshore substation. Prysmian also offered its strategic expertise and extended ability to provide a complex and complete installation solution, whilst ensuring a tighter control over the entire supply chain. Let’s help you get wired and connected.🔌💼

The offshore installation was performed under Prysmian’s full and dedicated project management. Prysmian got your back!😉💪✅

EDF Renewables and its partners have awarded Prysmian other projects such as those for the Saint-Nazaire, and Calvados offshore wind farms in France. Let’s keep the good work coming!👷✨

Fécamp is being jointly developed by Eolien Maritime France (EMF), a joint venture between the French company EDF Renouvelables; EIH S.à.rl, owned by Enbridge Inc. and CPP Investments; and Skyborn Renewables (formerly wpd offshore). Let’s keep building a greener future together!🍃🌊🔗

The first wind turbine was installed at the site in July this year. That same month, the 500 MW offshore wind farm started producing its first power.
