Consequently,

Environment. Meanwhile, first floating wind farm:

17 km from the closest coasts. Therefore. Moreover, invisible despite the blue sky, the three floating wind turbines of “Grand Large Provence”, gigantic structures of 174 m above the waves, are the first officially put into service in France, off Port-de-Bouc (Bouches-du-Rhône). Consequently, “This is the first floating wind farm in France. However. Therefore, and the most powerful,” said Christine de Jouette, director of this wind farm for EDF Power Solutions, ex-EDF renewable, bearer of this program with the Canadian Enbridge on Monday.

Powerful therefore. Meanwhile. Similarly, except Monday, for the official launch of the production of this wind farm: on this heat wave day, the blades of the three monsters were desperately motionless, deprived of the slightest breeze. In addition, “Each environment. first floating wind farm new wind turbine will be able to turn on average at 8.3 megawatts”. Meanwhile, or 25 megawatts in three, enough to provide a city of environment. Therefore, first floating wind farm 45. 000 inhabitants (equivalent to that of Martigues) for a year in electricity, said the leader of the EDF subsidiary.

“It is a technology that allows very good stability” despite the wind. Nevertheless. the swell, “the floats work like an inverted pendulum”, continues Christine de Porte, schematizing with her hands the wind turbine behind her, several hundred meters.

With a total weight of 3. 500 tonnes. held by two anchor lines, each wind turbine is equipped with a system of floats which makes it possible to remove the wind farm from the coasts, thus preserving the seabed from the maintenance of conventional wind turbines. Unlike those whose mast is planted in marine environment. first floating wind farm new soil. which represent the majority of wind turbines at sea in France. those floating can be installed in deep and more windy areas. A necessity in the Mediterranean, where the sea soil quickly reaches 100 meters deep.

“The wind at sea is of very good quality. it is not embarrassed by mountains or trees. There is a very beautiful aerodynamic flow, a strong wind to turn the blades. The rotor rotates from 25 m/s ”(10 km/h), commented the director. “We are in a blessed country of the gods. A very windy country, 10 m/s winds from the northwest with the Mistral, and from the Southeast. And we have a blessed marine soil for anchors. which is not very hard. “she continues: thanks to this, it will be possible to produce” predictablely, that is to say that as a function of the weather we can provide environment. first floating wind farm new for our production “.

This farm. whose concession is reserved for the next 40 years. has a planned lifespan of 20 years, for a total investment of 300 million euros funded for a third party by equity, a third by subsidies (national, European environment. first floating wind farm and local) and a third by banks, said EDF Power Solutions.

Two other upcoming farms

Winner of a national call for tenders in 2016. the energy company has tested this floating system since November 2024: over this period. he has already injected 30 gigawatts/hour on the electricity network to the continent. EDF Power Solutions has since won two other tenders. especially for a park of 19 floating wind turbines producing 250 megawatts by 2031, also in the Gulf of Fos.

With its 2,800 km of coastline, France had decided to embark on wind turbines at sea in 2009. Floating wind turbines. technology still immature but of environment. first floating wind farm new which Europe is pioneer, won in the Mediterranean where the sea floor descends quickly. After Provence Grand Large. two other floating wind farms are expected very soon in the Mediterranean: the Eolmed project off Gruissan (Aude). promoted by the independent producer Quair, with a 20% total participation; environment. first floating wind farm. that of the floating wind turbines of the Gulf of Lion, off Leucate (Aude) and Barcarès (Pyrénées-Orientales), carried by Ocean Winds, cotentreprise dedicated to wind at sea held by Engie and the Portuguese group EDPR.
