The French Government announced last Friday that it has selected Eolmed, the consortium assembled around Ideol’s floating technology, for the development and construction of a 25MW Mediterranean offshore wind farm 15 km off the coastal town of Gruissan.


The consortium will be led by the French renewable energy developer Quadran and will include Ideol, the civil engineering leader Bouygues Travaux Publics and the wind turbine manufacturer Senvion.


The commissioning of the wind farm is expected by 2020, creating an estimated 300 local jobs throughout the development, construction and offshore installation phases.

Paul de la Guérivière (Ideol’s CEO) commented : « With the first offshore wind turbine in France, with two upcoming demonstrators in Japan and now with the first wind farm in the Mediterranean, Ideol keeps on confirming that its technology is destined for leadership in floating wind, creating numerous local jobs and further reducing cost in the process. We’re also pleased to confirm our ability to successfully collaborate with leading players such as Bouygues TP and Senvion in complex and high stakes technical projects. »
