An ambitious pilot project
The EFGL project, winner of a government call for projects in 2016,
This project for“giant” wind turbines in the Mediterranean is backed by a consortium comprising ENGIE GREEN, EDPR Renewables Europe and Caisse des Dépôts.
A 10 MW floating wind turbine represents a major step forward in the Mediterranean energy transition. Their installation, scheduled for 2025-2026, will generate clean energy equivalent to the electricity consumption of 50,000 people.
The wind farm is connected to the onshore power grid via an 18 km subsea link and a 3.5 km underground link, connecting the wind turbines to the Salanques substation (Saint-Laurent-de-la-Salanque). This connection, estimated to cost 40 million euros, was the subject of in-depth consultation with local players, elected representatives, sea users and associations, in order to minimize the environmental and socio-economic impact.
