The companies have already delivered all 186 piles for the project and will deliver all the 75-metre, 1,150-tonne jackets this year. The jacket foundation production is supported by the Navantia-Windar yard in Brest, France, where 35,000 tonnes of steel are processed with a total of 850,000 work hours on the clock. Navantia completed the construction of the first jacket foundation for the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm at its yard in Fene in April last year, when the company said the project would create 1,000 jobs in the Spanish region, in addition to the work carried out by Spanish companies in Brest, which would create 250 jobs in Brittany over two years. Navantia-Windar is manufacturing foundations for the 496 MW French offshore wind farm under a contract awarded by Iberdrola in June 2019. Once fabrication works are completed this year, the milestone will represent 170 jackets completed since the first deliveries of jacket foundations by Navantia-Windar for the Wikinger project in Germany, also built by Iberdrola, back in July 2016, according to the joint venture. Offshore construction is underway at the Saint-Brieuc project site, 16.3 kilometres from the Breton coast, as the installation vessel Aeolus returned to the Bay of Saint-Brieuc last month to resume the installation of pin piles. The vessel owner Van Oord expects to start installing the three-legged jackets at the pre-piled locations in the second half of this year, while piling work will be taking place simultaneously until 2023. Offshore construction work is expected to be completed in 2023 and the 496 MW wind farm is scheduled to be operational by the end of next year.

The Franco-Argentine driver had initially hoped to combine his FE commitments with a partial campaign in either Super GT or Super Formula but instead looks set to focus fully on his Nissan duties his main rival in his title-winning 2019 All-Japan Formula 3 season and the two were able to share a car in Super GT this year driving for the TOM'S squad They won a race together at Fuji (pictured top) and ultimately finished sixth in the points making them the second-highest Toyota crew Miyata says Fenestraz's switch to FE has only strengthened his determination to make an overseas move of his own in future "I'm sad [Fenestraz] is leaving Japan," Miyata told Autosport "But I’m happy he got a seat in Formula E and I hope he can become world champion also because I want to race in Europe together with Sacha We promised each other we would fight together in Europe When it was put to him that Toyota's lack of involvement in FE would make such a move difficult Miyata replied: "I don’t know what will happen in the future… Toyota now is in WEC but I am talking with Toyota about the future." Fenestraz said he hopes Miyata can find his way into the European scene but also didn't rule out the possibility of pairing up with Miyata again if he is able to return to Super Formula or Super GT in future "He’s very professional and I really hope he can find a drive in Europe "Hopefully we can fight on track or even be team-mates again in future because it was a pleasure to race with him "We never know what the future brings; when I come back Miyata set himself the objective of earning enough points for a superlicence in F1 and the 10 points he earned with his fourth-place finish in Super Formula has put him a step closer to the 40-point requirement with the points earned from his Super Formula Lights title in 2020 expiring next year he'll need to earn 30 points across his next two Super Formula campaigns to finally reach his target in 2024 who will continue to drive for TOM'S in Super Formula next year said his main focus will be on improving his race performances after a season in which he was one of the strongest performers in qualifying it's still a big step forward," reflected Miyata "There's a big difference between finishing fourth and sixth in terms of superlicence points.  so I want to make use of that for next year but I often qualified in the first two rows I want to think about how to set up the car to be strong for the race "I'll give it everything to get a chance to race overseas as soon as possible."
