Consortium Led by Navantia and Windar Dispatches Initial Offshore Wind Turbine Platforms for Dieppe Le Treport Project
The Dieppe Le Treport offshore wind farm project in France is making significant strides towards generating 496 MW of renewable electricity, enough to power approximately 850,000 homes. Led by the consortium Les Éoliennes en Mer, the project is spearheaded by OW Ocean Winds, Sumitomo Corporation, and Banque des Territoires.
The wind farm, located approximately 15 kilometres from Le Treport and 17 kilometres from Dieppe in the English Channel, will feature 62 wind turbines, each supported by a four-legged jacket foundation. These 1,200-tonne jackets are being manufactured by a strategic alliance between Navantia Seanergies (Spain) and Windar Renovables. The first batch of four jacket foundations has already been shipped from Navantia Seanergies' facilities in Fene, Spain.
The consortium has also partnered with Nexans for the design, engineering, manufacturing, installation, and protection of the 225 kV export cables. These cables connect the offshore substation to shore, moving power into France's grid. The offshore substation was installed at the site in July by DEME's vessel Gulliver.
As of summer 2025, key offshore cable installations and connection phases have been completed or are near completion. Final tasks, including the pull-in and cable connection to the offshore substation, are planned for August 2025. The installation of the structures at the Dieppe Le Treport offshore wind farm will be carried out by DEME under a contract signed with the developer in 2023.
Navantia also built the jacket for the project's offshore substation at its Puerto Real facility. However, the current status of the installation of the jacket foundations at the Dieppe Le Treport project remains unspecified.
The Dieppe Le Treport offshore wind farm is a significant step towards France's renewable energy targets, and its progress continues to be closely monitored.
- The advancements in environmental science, particularly in the field of renewable energy, have been highlighted by the progress of the Dieppe Le Treport offshore wind farm project, which utilizes modern technology and climate-change mitigation solutions to generate electricity.
- As the environmental impact of climate change becomes more prominent, the market for environmental-science technology, such as the equipment used in the Dieppe Le Treport offshore wind farm, is expected to grow, fostering advancements in science and technology.
