AARHUS, Denmark and MONTPELLIER, France – Qair has selected MHI Vestas as the preferred turbine supplier for the EolMed floating offshore wind farm in France.
The company will supply three V164-10.0 MW turbines for the pilot project.
The turbines will be installed on Ideol’s patented Damping Pool foundation in the Mediterranean Sea about 18 km (11 mi) off the coast of Gruissan in the Aude region.
The 30-MW EolMed project is scheduled for installation in 2023.
MHI Vestas CEO Philippe Kavafyan said: “This collaboration with Qair and Ideol will undoubtedly help accelerate the floating sector from demonstration to commercial-scale projects.”
EolMed is the third floating offshore wind project for MHI Vestas in France and the sixth overall.
