Saint-Nazaire Offshore Wind Project

Enbridge and its partner EDF Renouvelables developed the Saint-Nazaire Offshore Wind Project in the Loire-Atlantique region in coastal France.

The 480-megawatt (MW) wind farm features 80 GE Haliade 160-6MW turbines manufactured in France. According to GE, each Haliade turbine powers 5,000 homes ; the project is expected to generate the equivalent of 20% of the Loire-Atlantique’s electricity consumption.

Turbines are located between 12 and 20 kilometres off the Loire-Atlantique coast, at depths ranging from 12 to 25 metres, and deployed an area of about 78 square km.

Enbridge has a 25.5% ownership stake in the Saint-Nazaire Offshore Wind Project, which entered service in November 2022.
