The French Environment and Energy Management Academy has approved two floating wind pilot projects in the Mediterranean. The second is a 24MW project built by EDF Energies Nouvelles, featuring three 8MW Siemens turbines on floating platforms. The first is generates the same amount of energy, and is built by a consortium comprising Engie, EDP Renewables, Caisse des Dépôts and Eiffage. The pilot will consist of four 6MW turbines on a semi-submersible floating foundation. To date, France has approved four floating wind projects, generating a projected 96MW.
