EOLMED

1. ORIGIN

Initiated by the French government via a call for projects by the Agency for Environmental & Energy (ADEME) in August 2015, Eolmed comprises 3 floating wind turbines that will produce nearly 110 million kWh/year. This pilot wind farm project is driven by the Programme d’Investissements d’Avenir (PIA) and its commitment to “demonstrate the ecological and energy transition”. The project has the dual objective of validating a business model for future commercial development and creating an offshore wind energy subsidiary in Western France.

3. INDUSTRIAL PLAN

To maximize the local economic impact, Eolmed relies on leading local manufacturers. Constructing the 3 wind turbines will benefit this vast region including 600,000 workhours to manufacture the floats.
