Today, the French government
announced its decision to entrust EDF consortia alongside Alstom, WPD, Dong Energy and Nass & Wind, with the building of three offshore wind farms off the French coast.
Under this call for projects, Alstom has chosen to set up two industrial sites, one in Cherbourg, the other in Saint-Nazaire.
The will of Laurent Beauvais (President of the Lower Normandy region), Jean-Francois Le Grand (President of the Manche Department Council) and Bernard Cazeneuve (President of the Urban Community of Cherbourg), to structure the renewable marine energy industry in the Lower normandy region, has then succeeded.
