The French government will award the Iberdrola-Eole-RES consortium exclusive rights to develop a 500-megawatt offshore wind project off- shore St.-Brieuc, France, the consortium announced in April. The offshore wind farm will be built approximately 20 kilometers off the coast of St.-Brieuc Bay in the French administrative area of Cotes d'Armor by the consortium led by Iberdrola (Bilbao, Spain) and EoleRES (Avignon, France) and including Paris, France-based partners Areva, Technip and Neoen Marine. A joint venture company, Ailes Marines (Paris) has been set up to manage the project and subse- quent operation of the site. The project covers a total area of 80 kilometers and comprises 100 wind turbines of 5-megawatt capacity each.
