The EolMed partnership, comprising Qair, Totalenergies and BW Ideol, has made the final investment decision (FID) for its 30MW offshore floating wind development.
Eolmed is one of the first floating wind pilot projects in France to be installed 18 km off the coastal town of Gruissan, respecting the coastal landscape and maritime fauna. It comprises three 10MW wind turbines, each mounted on BW Ideol’s floating steel foundations and connected to the Electricity Transmission Network (RTE) by an undersea cable. BW Ideol and Qair have cooperated on the project since 2016 with Total joining the development consortium as 20% owner in 2020. BW Ideol became a 5% owner in late 2021.
