Offshore wind energy

 

At the heart of the leading European offshore wind energy development potential!

 
The English Channel, a maritime area favoured by the French governmental invitation to tender
A direct access to the wind farms at planning stage on the coastline of southern England
6 wind farms at planning stage within a radius of 200 miles around Le Havre
750 wind turbines implemented from 2015, for a global wind power capacity of 3.75GW
 
French government invitation to tender: the English Channel area favorized!
Developpement of 6,000-MW offshore wind capacity by 2020
Implementation of 1,200 5-MW offshore wind turbines
Favourable conditions for installation and operation : favourable weather conditions (wind power and regularity), sea floors suitable for deep water wind turbines

Le Havre region is mobilizing for the offshore wind sector!
plus A unique mobilization for the professionals of the offshore wind sector

In order to meet the requirements of wind turbines professionals and to offer them the best setting-up and development conditions, the industrial and institutional actors of Le Havre region join forces around strategic sector-based topics and multidisciplinary working groups: Industry and logistics, Maintenance, Training and HR Planning, Services, Components and R&D.

plus Wind Innovation in Normandy

WIN 1.0, acronym for “Wind Innovation in Normandy”, is a project backed by the “Filière Energies Haute-Normandie” association, composed of offshore and field test sites allowing the industrial actors to develop and certify new prototypes of wind turbines in situations resembling operating conditions. This project will be complemented by offshore and field meteorological masts, making it possible to better characterize the environment and wind potentials. Launching in 2011.
