Saint-Brieuc: Iberdrola’s first large-scale offshore wind power project in Brittany

Brittany is prone to strong winds and high tides, which have shaped the region’s landscape, economy and way of life. With a view to leveraging the region’s full energy potential, the company designed the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm: the first large-scale offshore wind farm in Brittany and one of the first in France to obtain all the necessary government permits for its construction and operation.

With an investment of 2.4 billion euros it is estimated that, once commercialisation begins in 2023, it will produce 1,820 gigawatt hours (GWh) per year, which will supply energy to 835,000 people.
