PARIS – Total has taken a 20% stake in the Eolmed floating wind farm pilot project in the French sector of the Mediterranean Sea.
The location is off the coast of Gruissan and close to Port-La-Nouvelle.
Qair is the developer and majority shareholder of the 30-MW scheme. Total will contribute its experience in the conception, installation, and operation of offshore installations throughout their life cycle.
The company aims to be a world leader in floating offshore wind, currently participating in projects off South Korea (2 GW in total) and in the UK’s 100-MW Erebus project.
By the end of this year, Total’s gross power generation capacity worldwide should be close to 12 GW, including around 7 GW of renewable energy, with a target to grow to 35 GW of production capacity from renewable sources by 2025.
