This 30 MW project is located more than 18 km off the coast of Gruissan and Port la Nouvelle in Occitan region. The wind farm will consist of three 10 MW wind turbines mounted on steel floats and connected to the French Electricity Transmission Network RTE by an underwater cable. The start of production is expected by 2024.The project meets the objectives of the partners to ensure its good environmental integration and to promote the know-how of the Occitanie Region thanks to the involvement of all the stakeholders. Eolmed is part of the Occitanie Region's strategy to relocate industrial production: the consortium has chosen a joint venture formed by Matière and Ponticelli to produce the floats in Bagnac-sur-Célé (Lot) and Port-la-Nouvelle (Aude). This joint venture will benefit from the port's new infrastructure and will mobilize more than 600,000 man-hours of work across Occitania.
