Winners announced in world's first tender for floating
The consortia BayWa r.e and Elicio won the AO5 tender, which is the first commercial tender for floating offshore wind in the world.
The 270 MW project awarded today through the AO5 tender will be built in South Brittany and installed in a water depth of approximately 90 metres. This is the first project for both of these developers in France and it will be their first entry into the French offshore wind market. Planned to be commissioned by 2031, the wind farm will be the first commercial project in France using floating wind technology.
-This milestone shows that France puts action behind their floating offshore wind ambitions. As such, our two nations have a lot in common, says Astrid Green, who is in charge of the French Market in Norwegian Offshore Wind.
