The signing of all the financing agreements took place on April 5th, 2023. The project involves robust international public and private financing, led by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and a syndicate of 16 banks: 6 French banks, 4 Japanese banks, 2 British banks, 2 Spanish banks, 1 German bank and 1 Dutch bank. The financing is provided through shareholders backed financing and non-recourse debt. It was raised with the support of Société Générale, who acted as the financial advisor to the project. The first offshore operations will take place this summer. Installation of the monopiles will start Spring 2024. The wind turbines, produced by Siemens Gamesa in its Le Havre facility, will be installed in 2025. The wind farm is expected to be commissioned in the second half of 2025. Update February 2022: FID expected in 2023. Update April 2021: final investment decision expected after appeals have been cleared.
