The assembly phase of the three wind turbines completed on Monday September 11, the very first floating wind turbine of our Provence Grand Large project took to the sea towards its installation site. After being towed out to sea, 17km off the Gulf of Fos, operations are currently continuing to connect the wind turbines to the tensioned anchor lines which will secure the wind turbines to the seabed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three PGL wind turbines, with a height of more than 170 meters, will then be linked together by interwind cabling before being connected to the electrical connection which will transport the electricity produced to the terrestrial network.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b The commissioning of the park is planned for the beginning of 2024. A look back at this major milestone for EDF Renewables' first floating offshore wind project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
