Procon Wind Energy has secured a contract for the installation and commissioning of electrical components for the transition pieces of the Saint-Nazaire offshore wind farm.

The electrical outfitting of the transition pieces will take place at Eiffage Métal's site in Hoboken before they will be transferred to
Saint-Nazaire for installation. Work is underway and is expected to run until Q2 2021.

A consortium including DEME Offshore and Eiffage Métal was awarded the EPCI contract for the wind farm's 80 foundations in 2019. The scope includes the design, fabrication and installation of the 80 steel foundations. The consortium contract is valued in the region of €500 million. The first foundations will be installed offshore, in rocky seabed conditions, in spring 2021, with completion being planned in summer 2022.

The 480 MW
Saint-Nazaire offshore wind farm, owned by EDF Renewables and Enbridge, will be located between 12 km and 20 km off the coast of the Guerande peninsula in western France. Water depths for the installation range between 12 and 25 metres. It will consist of 80 GE Haliade 150-6MW wind turbines and is poised to be the first commercial scale project installed in French waters. The wind farm is expected to generate enough electricity to supply 20% of the Loire-Atlantique department‘s power.  

Procon Wind Energy's team leading the project is the same team that completed work on the
Yunlin project in Taiwan.
