Assembled at the port of Port-La Nouvelle, the first of the pilot project’s three #floatingwind turbines was recently towed to the EFGL site by a dedicated maritime convoy and installed at its designated location 16 kilometres off the Occitanie coast.

France just awarded its biggest offshore wind project ever: 1.5 GW off the coast of Normandy. TotalEnergies won the AO8 auction. The project will power over 1 million homes, cut electricity costs and create jobs. France already has 1.6 GW of offshore wind in operation and another 1.5 GW under construction. It wants 18 GW by 2035 and 45 GW by 2050. But not all auctions are landing. On the same day, AO7 received no bids. Nine developers had prequalified, but technical challenges and market uncertainty made the site too risky. Future auctions must strike a better balance. The sector is ready. AO9 and AO10 need to launch soon to keep the pipeline moving. And the Government must approve the multiannual energy programme (PP3) to unlock AO10. Offshore wind brings clean power, jobs and energy independence. France must stay the course. Full story: https://lnkd.in/erFWEbQz

EDF has warned of possible output cuts affecting up to 7.7 GW of capacity across three nuclear plants in southeastern France, due to high water temperatures in the Rhone river.   At Bugey 2, capacity will be reduced by 80% to 180 MW on Friday between 03:00 and 17:00 CET. Additional reductions may follow from Sunday at St Alban, where only one 1.3 GW unit is running, and from next Wednesday at Tricastin, where one 915 MW reactor is offline.   The plants rely on the Rhone river for cooling. When river temperatures rise, limits are imposed on heat discharge to protect the ecosystem.   EDF has previously warned of possible restrictions at Bugey but cancelled several planned curtailments due to revised forecasts.   Temperatures in southern France have been rising since Monday and could hit 40°C this weekend, according to Meteo France.   Link to the full reporting by Sophie Tetrel can be found in the comments section. #energymarkets #nuclear #france #curtailment

Halfway milestone for France’s Îles d’Yeu & Noirmoutier Offshore Wind Farm! Half of the 61 turbines are now installed, bringing the 496 MW project closer to powering 800,000 people by year-end. A great step forward for offshore wind, renewables, and local job creation. source: offshoreWIND.biz https://lnkd.in/drwUz6nF #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #Marine #Power
