jacket foundations and the substation and for a turnkey contract for the manufacture and installation of the subsea cables connecting the wind turbines and the offshore substation located 17 kilometres offshore Dieppe and 15.5 kilometres from Le Tréport through its fully owned subsidiary Adwen France SAS is to deliver its 8 MW offshore wind turbine The direct drive wind turbine will replace Adwen's AD8 model which is being discontinued so that the company can focus its sales efforts on just one 8 MW turbine Further Developments of the technology will be part of the company's comprehensive product portfolio review The switch to the D8 platform as the technical solution for the projects being developed by Eoliennes en Mer Iles d'Yeu et Noirmoutier and Eoliennes en Mer Dieppe Le Tréport has been approved by the French Minister for the Ecological and inclusive transition after review by the Energy regulation Commission (CRE) Siemens Gamesa has further confirmed that the transition to the D8 will have no impact on Adwen's plans to build two factories in Le Havre and to collaborate in the development of a local supply chain in France The company is expecting to create a minimum of 750 new jobs from these projects “This decision is a crucial milestone for the French offshore wind industry” said Michael Hannibal “Siemens Gamesa will deliver the most popular offshore wind platform and will bring its unmatched experience working in offshore projects I am convinced this will help the industry take-off and I am happy to see all parties involved including our customers and the French State acknowledging the benefits of installing the D8 in thesis projects” The D8 8-MW turbine is based on the existing Siemens Gamesa offshore direct drive platform which has an excellent track record More than 200 direct drive wind turbines in the 6-8- MW class have already been installed and commissioned in offshore wind farms The energy production of one Siemens Gamesa 8-MW machine is sufficient to supply approximately 8,000 European households with electricity The power Supplied on Dieppe-Le Tréport and Yeu-Noirmoutier will be sufficient to cover the annual electricity consumption of close to one million households Siemens Gamesa through its subsidiary Nervion Naval Offshore has been awarded a contract to construct and assemble wind turbine jacket components for the 496 MW Dieppe Le Tréport offshore wind farm in France Nervion Naval Offshore’s scope of work involves the prefabrication of metallic components such as knots and the assembly of the

ABL Group’s Paris office has been awarded contracts to provide marine warranty survey (MWS) services for two Round 2 offshore wind farms in France The company has been hired on the 496 MW Iles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier and the 496 MW Dieppe-Le Tréport on which offshore construction activities are scheduled to start this year Both offshore wind farms are being developed by the joint venture between Ocean Winds and Vendée Energie (for the Iles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier wind farm) and installation operations for the components of the substation inter-array cables and wind turbine generators The company will also inspect and approve the marine spread that will be used during the construction “This follows our past project wins on the three offshore windfarm projects of Round 1 – respectively Saint-Nazaire OWF Fécamp OWF and Courseulles OWF – in France It reaffirms ABL’s recognised reputation as a leading provider of MWS services in France and more widely for the whole offshore wind industry” Head of Marine Warranty services at ABL France The 496 MW Iles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier offshore wind farm will be built at an offshore site located 11.6 kilometres from the island of Yeu and 16.5 kilometres from Noirmoutier The project will feature 62 Siemens Gamesa 8 MW wind turbines The Dieppe le Tréport offshore wind farm will also comprise 62 Siemens Gamesa 8 MW wind turbines but unlike the Iles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier project these will be mounted on jacket foundations The Dieppe le Tréport site is located 15.5 kilometres offshore Tréport and 17 kilometres offshore Dieppe Nurses are heroes of the Covid-19 pandemic Peggy Arnold was also serving on the front line - as a Red Cross nurse during WW1 humour and selfless spirit of Peggy and volunteers like her It must have been a shock swapping life in Surrey for a hospital tent in France But that's exactly what Peggy Arnold did during the First World War Before the war she and her sister Ruth joined the Surrey branch of the British Red Cross They attended lectures and practical classes in first aid and other useful skills In February 1915 Peggy went to Hilders House She was one of the first Red Cross volunteer nurses (known as VADs) to serve in a military hospital outside Britain She was sent to Number 16 hospital at Le Tréport British Red Cross nurses were known as VADs during WW1 The hospital looked rather different from your nearest A&E The patients had to put up with tents but wooden huts were later provided for the VADs The frontline trenches were about 60 miles away in the valley of the Somme Hospital life was governed by the ebb and flow of the war sounds and smells of hospital life in her diary She described the ward as a place of groans and men with trephined heads suddenly sitting bolt upright nearly every sheet showing signs of the wound and face wounds showing pus at the side of their dressing Thankfully she and her fellow nurses had time off to look forward to These precious days of freedom gave Peggy time to go shopping in Le Tréport or drive into the countryside before heading back to the wards why is there a war to spoil things!' she exclaimed Crowds of mourners pay their respects to British Red Cross nurse In February 1916 Peggy started nursing in an isolation unit for patients with blue pus caused by infected wounds and became a patient in the Trianon hospital she died within two days on Sunday 12 March 1916 wrote in her diary that day: “Arnold was one of the very best Peggy was buried the following Wednesday in the English cemetery at Le Tréport Her father and sister Ruth were at the military funeral A tribute to Peggy appeared in 'The Times' on 31 March written by someone who witnessed her work and the enormous help and sympathy she gave to our sick and wounded men Men have told me that no one could help feeling happy when Sister Arnold was there Peggy Arnold will ever remain a blessed memory." British Red Cross volunteer Viv was going through our First World War records she was helping to put these records online for you to browse "Margaret Arnold's index card was the first one I transcribed where the nurse had deceased" "I was interested and did further research on her I made contact with her family who have kindly given us permission to share these photographs" Today you can find Peggy's name on the war memorial in Chiddingfold It is quite rare to see women on WW1 memorials I am amazed how brave these VAD nurses were caring for the sick and wounded at home and abroad ©2025 British Red Cross The British Red Cross Society is a charity registered in England and Wales (220949) French transmission system operator Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE) has selected Nexans to supply and install the export cable for the 496 MW Dieppe – Le Tréport offshore wind farm will see Nexans supply and install 47 kilometres of offshore and 18 kilometres of onshore power export cable for the wind farm located in the English Channel more than 15.5 kilometres from Le Tréport and 17 kilometres from Dieppe RTE has been appointed by the French State to connect this wind farm from the offshore substation to the onshore power grid through the installation of two 225,000 volt subsea and onshore links ”Two years after the award of the contract for the supply and installation of 225 kV power export cables for the St Brieuc wind farm RTE is confident that this new collaboration will bring value to the French power grid and be a source of productivity and continuous improvement for both companies,” Gilles EtheimerRTE’s Purchasing Director Nexans will supply two 23.5-kilometre lengths of 225 kV three-core cable The cable will have hybrid armoring and incorporate a fiber optic element to remotely monitor the health of the link and transmit information between the offshore wind farm and the onshore base one of the company’s two cable laying vessels along with the newly constructed Aurora The onshore link will consist of 18 kilometres of 225 kV single-core cable The awarded contract includes business continuity services such as inspection ”We are pleased to be working with RTE again to connect one of France’s largest offshore wind projects to the grid This puts Nexans at the heart of Europe’s energy transition and energy independence,” Laurent

Siemens Gamesa 8 MW wind turbines slated for commissioning by July 2024 the Dieppe – Le Tréport wind farm is expected to produce an average of 2,000 GWh per year DEME has been awarded two transport and installation contracts for the foundations and the offshore substation for the Iles D’Yeu et Noirmoutier wind farm offshore France For DEME this is the second major offshore wind farm project in France following industry-first technology deployed at Saint-Nazaire DEME Offshore will execute the pre-piling works for the offshore substation jacket and the transport and installation of the 2,700-tonne topside The scope of work also includes the transport and installation of monopile foundations and transition pieces.  the wind farm is located in a very rocky area some 11.6 kilometres from the island of Yeu and 16.5 kilometres from Noirmoutier the installation of the monopile foundations will again require DEME’s drilling technology and some of the equipment and tools deployed at Saint-Nazaire to be reused.  This includes the 350-tonne offshore foundation drill developed together with Herrenknecht and the so-called MODIGA.  the MODIGA encapsulates the drilling and installation operations protecting them from harsh marine conditions improves operational working time substantially DEME’s offshore installation vessel Innovation will carry out the foundation installation Similar techniques and vessels deployed at the Saint-Nazaire wind farm will be used for the substation pre-piling works which will be executed in the second half of 2023 Allseas’ vessel Pioneering
