ENGIE and EDPR welcome the confirmation by the President of the Republic of the Dieppe-Le Tréport and Yeu-Noirmoutier offshore wind projects.
The decision of the Head of State puts an end to a period of uncertainty for an industrial sector that will create jobs. This wind generation capacity is necessary for France’s energy transition and for meeting its commitments in the fight against climate change.
The efforts and goodwill of all (project leader, State…) in the negotiations conducted under the aegis of Mr. Gérard Rameix made it possible to reach this balanced solution. ENGIE and EDPR made every effort to bring the negotiations to a successful conclusion while defending the industrial plans associated with the projects. This is therefore very good news for France and for the territories that have invested considerably in this sector. The encouragement and continued support of the territories contributed significantly to this positive conclusion.
The construction and commissioning of the two offshore wind projects in Dieppe-Le Tréport and Yeu-Noirmoutier will enable the construction of the two plants planned in Le Havre and the creation of nearly 3,000 direct and indirect jobs, mobilized during the construction and operation phases of the wind farms.
