This is according to Grzegorz Gorski, Chief Operating Officer at Ocean Winds and chairman of the Board of Directors of the Eoliennes en Mer des îles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier (EMYN) project company, which just announced that FID was reached for the îles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier project in France
the next few months will be highlighted by the final investment decision for the Dieppe Le Tréport offshore wind farm and the ongoing construction of the EFGL floating offshore wind farm in the Gulf of Lion
Our teams will therefore be working on the construction of three offshore wind farms in France this year
on our way of generating more than 1 GW of clean energy to French households”
The Dieppe Le Tréport wind farm is of the same size as the now-under-construction îles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier and will also feature 62 Siemens Gamesa 8 MW wind turbines
the wind turbines at Dieppe Le Tréport will be installed on jacket foundations
has already chosen the main suppliers for the project at the end of 2022
The towers for Siemens Gamesa’s wind turbines will be assembled in the port of Brest by SPIE Industrie
in collaboration with Haizea Wind Group’s Haizea Breizh
A vessel reservation agreement has been signed with the Jan De Nul Group for the transport and installation of wind turbines and a capacity reservation agreement has been signed with the Navantia-Windar consortium for the jacket foundations and the accompanying pin piles
The offshore substation will be designed and built by Chantiers de l’Atlantique
with its foundation to be manufactured by Navantia Seanergies
EMDT announced that it was also in exclusive negotiation with DEME for the transport and installation of the 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

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

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 Guillaumin

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 Spirit will be used to install the substation jacket and topside
The installation of the monopile foundations
and topside is scheduled to start in the first half of 2024
The 496 MW wind farm is being developed by Éoliennes en Mer des Îles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier (EMYN)
