quarter of 2024 the wind farm will have an installed capacity of 496 MW which corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of 835,000 inhabitants (including heating) or nine per cent of the total electricity consumption of Brittany PARIS, France — Ailes Marines, a company 100% owned by the Iberdrola Group announced the completion of the installation of the electrical substation (OSS) of the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm Saipem has installed the first electrical substation at sea in Brittany It is the second substation installed on an offshore wind farm in France The installation operation was carried out by the Saipem 7000 vessel This crane vessel concentrates a capacity and technology particularly suitable for this type of operation The installation of the substation was carried out in two stages After the installation of the jacket foundation (1,630 tons) on its four piles the topside (3,400 tons) was installed on its foundation on July 6 The foundation of the electrical substation is 63 m high for a total weight of 1,630 tons The substation consists of two elements manufactured separately and assembled at sea: carried out the engineering and manufacture of the jacket foundation and the metal structure of the topside Equans designed and equipped the low-voltage electrical part of the topside including the auxiliary systems and the integration of medium and high-voltage equipment provided by GE Grid Solutions The jacket and topside were preassembled by Smulders at the Hoboken shipyard near Antwerp The final assembly of the topside was carried out at the Equans shipyard in Hoboken The final assembly of the jacket foundation was carried out at the Heerema shipyard in Vlissingen in the Netherlands Technicians from Equans and Smulders will work on the OSS for commissioning the fully automated substation will be remotely controlled and controlled Technicians will intervene for maintenance operations via personnel transport vessels The substation will collect the electricity produced by the 62 wind turbines by raising the electrical voltage through power transformers The electricity will then be transported by Réseau de Transmission d'Electricité (RTE) via two export cables with a voltage of 225 kV The connection by RTE of the electrical substation to the export cables to the mainland will be operational before the installation of the wind turbines planned for 2023 has announced that the construction works on the 496 MW Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm are now resuming saying the installation vessel Aeolus will be continuing pile and drilling installation operations on the remaining wind turbine positions Van Oord’s jack-up vessel is en route to the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm site in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc in Brittany the vessel will resume pile installation operations on the remaining 22 wind turbine positions out of a total of 62 installation operations will resume in the coming months on the 38 jacket foundations that are yet to be placed on the seabed The installation of the jackets started on 1 July, while the first four units were placed on the seabed a few weeks later These two campaigns will take place over several months The 496 MW offshore wind farm will comprise 62 Siemens Gamesa 8 MW wind turbines and will be the first offshore wind project in France to have them installed on jacket foundations The installation of the wind turbines will be carried out by Fred Olsen Windcarrier’s Brave Tern vessel The first 8 MW units will be placed on their jacket foundations in mid-2023 The towers are being delivered by Haizea Breizh the French subsidiary of the Spanish company Haizea Wind Group Haizea is manufacturing and painting the towers at its factory in the Port of Bilbao, Spain, and then shipping them to the workshop in the Port of Brest, where the assembly of the internal components such as platform and ladders is performed by SPIE Industrie & Tertiaire the towers will be delivered to Siemens Gamesa’s factory in Le Havre For each rotation from Le Havre to the Saint-Brieuc wind farm site the units will be commissioned progressively from the second half of the year The campaign to install the inter-array cables began in January the company in charge of supplying the inter-array cables is continuing the work of laying 90 kilometres of inter-array cables three vessels are mobilised for these operations: the trenching support vessel Aethra and the walk-to-work vessel Island Diligence The operations will be controlled from Ailes Marines’ technical base located in Kerantour and in the port of Lézardrieux they will mobilise up to thirty ships for several months developed by Iberdrola’s wholly-owned subsidiary Ailes Marines is the first large-scale offshore wind farm in Brittany to obtain all the necessary government permits for its construction and operation the offshore wind farm is expected to generate enough clean energy for 835,000 people The installation of the jacket foundation piles at the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm in France has been completed and Van Oord’s vessel Aeolus the project development company wholly owned by Iberdrola All locations that (will) house jacket foundations including 62 wind turbine positions and one offshore substation position have been drilled and are equipped with piles and the rest of the offshore construction work continues according to schedule Installation of the jacket foundations restarted at the end of June as well as 35 of the project’s 62 Siemens Gamesa 8 MW wind turbines Olsen Windcarrier’s vessel Brave Tern located 16 kilometres off the northwest coast of France in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc in the English Channel produced its first green power in July 2023 and is planned to be fully operational later this year The Aeolus installation vessel started working at the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm site in May 2021 and completed the first phase of work at sea on 31 October that year The first piling campaign, which was concentrated in the northern zone of the wind farm site to allow for fishing activities in the southern part, faced several setbacks, including malfunctioning drilling equipment After a winter break following the completion of the first phase, Aeolus resumed the piling work in March 2022 and the first batch of wind turbine jackets was installed at pre-piled locations by Subsea 7’s vessel Seven Borealis a few months later Iberdrola has started the transfer of the first jackets for its offshore wind farm in Saint Brieuc from the Navantia Seanergies shipyard in Fene (A Coruña Spain) where the Navantia-Windar consortium is building these structures to support the wind turbines These are the first four jackets of the total of 62 to be built at the wind farm which will be the Iberdrola Group's first major offshore wind energy site in France The contract for the construction of the jackets was also the largest order to date for the Navantia and Windar partnership in offshore wind energy The foundations will be transported in a 122-m-long barge of the company Van Oord They will arrive at their destination in the port of Brest covering the more than 1500 km that separate the port of Ferrol from their location in the English Channel The delivery of the first jackets demonstrates the successful completion of the contract signed two years ago The order included the manufacture and assembly of the 62 structures at Navantia Windar's facilities in Brest and Fene and the piles that anchor the wind turbines to the seabed at Windar's facilities in Avilés This contract has strengthened a relationship of more than eight years between Iberdrola and Navantia-Windar which totals contracts worth more than €1000 million including the award to Windar of the transition pieces for the Baltic Eagle offshore wind farms in Germany and Vineyard Wind 1 in the US as well as the orders already completed for Wikinger the building of the park creates 1500 jobs distributed among various companies in France (including 250 at the Navantia-Windar plant in Brest) which means the creation of at least 2750 jobs between both countries The Saint-Brieuc foundations rest on three legs Iberdrola has for the first time used a hydraulic device called pile grippers to fix these jackets which provides additional fixation and stability during the installation phase which is expected to begin in the coming months The Saint-Brieuc wind farm will be the Iberdrola group's first major offshore wind power site in France it will generate enough clean energy to meet the electricity consumption of 835 000 people Its construction represents an overall investment of around €2500 million This new facility demonstrates Iberdrola's commitment to the French market where the company plans to invest approximately €4 billion by 2025 The plant will become the company's fourth offshore wind farm in operation one of the world's largest
