France: Schneider Electric has been selected by AREVA to supply the power equipment for its offshore wind projects.
The projects include the wind farm in the bay of Saint Brieuc off the coast of Brittany and the current tenders for the French offshore wind farms at Le Tréport off the coast of Haute-Normandie and the islands of Yeu and Noirmoutier in Pays de la Loire, reports Smartmeters.
Schneider Electric will supply power transformers and circuit breakers for AREVA’s wind farms. Schneider Electric’s French industrial sites located near Metz and Grenoble will manufacture the components.
Frédéric Abbal, Schneider Electric’s executive vice president of the company’s energy business says: “Schneider Electric is delighted to be designated as AREVA’s preferred technology partner for their offshore wind projects. The combination of expertise offered by our two companies proves highly promising for the rapid establishment of a leading French sector of excellence in offshore wind.”
“This agreement with Schneider Electric further underscores our commitment to developing a complete industrial sector in France, providing job creation opportunities and harnessing our local expertise.” AREVA Renewables chief executive officer Louis-François Durret added.
