Éoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion (EFGL) Floating Wind Farm

offshore turbine installation completed

EFGL is the world's first nature-inclusive 30 MW floating offshore wind farm located in Occitanie, France. It features three 10 MW turbines installed on floating foundations, assembled at Port-La Nouvelle and towed 16 km offshore. The project demonstrates the viability of floating offshore wind in deeper waters and includes artificial marine habitats to enhance biodiversity. The turbines are ready for final cable and grid connection works before delivering clean energy to approximately 50,000 inhabitants annually. The project paves the way for larger developments, including a 250 MW floating offshore wind project awarded to Ocean Winds and Banque des Territoires.
