Océole has been pre-qualified for the tender for a potential offshore wind project in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region (AO7). This is the third prequalification in a French tender for the alliance formed by developers Equinor and Q ENERGY France.

Océole announced today that it has been pre-qualified for the tender for the Mediterranean Floating Wind Farm Project (AO6). The bid is led by Equinor in partnership with Q ENERGY France and supported by Green Giraffe. In parallel, Océole is already participating in the competitive dialogue for the floating project in Southern Brittany (AO5) launched last September.

Océole, a partnership formed by three major players in the renewable energy sector (Q ENERGY France, Equinor and Green Giraffe), is taking a number of initiatives to build a local floating offshore wind industry in Western France. After the country issued specifications for the construction of a 250 MW floating wind farm off the coast of Lorient (Brittany), the players in the sector are joining forces to develop the local know-how required for this type of project and to promote local employment.
