The Engie-led LEM consortium has obtained permits for its 496 MW Noirmoutier wind farm project offshore western France, with construction due to start in 2023 and finish in 2020. LEM, which comprises Engie, EDPR and Caisse des Depots, is also seeking authorisation for a second offshore array, the 496 MW Treport project. Noirmoutier is about 16 km off the French Atlantic coast, in water depths of up to 35 meters. Treport will be located a similar distance off the Normandy coast, in water depths of up to 25 meters.
