SBM Offshore has been awarded a possible deal with France’s EDF Energies Nouvelles to provide floating a wind systems solution for a government-backed pilot project off France.
Following the French government’s push for renewable energy projects, EDF was selected to construct a pilot floating wind farm for its Provence Grand Large project.
The project, which remains subject to EDF’s final investment decision, would also benefit from a state financing scheme backed by the Environment and Energy Management Agency – Agence de L’Environnement et de La Maitrise de L’Energie (ADEME).
Under its deal with EDF, SBM would provide engineering, procurement, construction and installation services of the floating and mooring components for three floating wind systems.
