GE Renewable Energy has reneged on a deal to supply 24 MW of turbines to the Groix and Belle-lle and Golfe du Lion floating offshore wind farms in France, saying it will instead focus on developing its Haliade-X 12 MW offshore wind turbine prototypes. The company said that after discussions with French authorities, it had decided not to proceed with the project due to concerns about environmental impact from the construction phase.
