UK: EDF Energies Nouvelles launches the construction of a new offshore wind farm in the United Kingdom

EDF Energies Nouvelles is launching the Blyth offshore wind farm project / Construction work for the first 41.5 MW part of the project has begun onshore, and offshore installation is due to begin in 2017. Ultimately, the project may have up to 100 MW in capacity

The Blyth project is located off the coast of Northumberland, in north-east England. The first part of the project, which will have 41.5 MW in installed capacity, will consist of 5 MHI Vestas offshore Wind turbines. Led by EDF Energy Renewables, the group’s UK subsidiary, offshore construction work is due to commence in 2017.

Implementation of this project will enable the group to use cutting-edge offshore technologies in real conditions (e.g. latest-generation turbines, innovative gravity base foundations, 66kV cables), and to increase its expertise in upgrading installation, commissioning, operating and maintaining procedures for offshore wind turbines.

“Drawing on our experience in building offshore wind farms in the United Kingdom (Teesside) and Belgium (C-Power) and developing three projects in France, EDF Energies Nouvelles intends to continue contributing to innovation in this sector.
The Blyth project is offering a further opportunity to fine-tune our expertise in offshore wind farms”, stated Antoine Cahuzac, Senior Executive Vice President in Renewable Energies of EDF and Chief Executive Officer of EDF Energies Nouvelles.
