🥳 Starting the summer with steel in the water! The first of three WindFloat® units, designed by Principle Power for the LES EOLIENNES FLOTTANTES DU GOLFE DU LION project, was offloaded last week from the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille and will soon arrive to Port‑La‑Nouvelle for turbine integration. Principle Power provided execution support services to our client, Eiffage Métal, during these operations, including, for each platform: the yard acceptance test, verification of load-out arrangement, and verification of the final float off operation. Two more WindFloat® units are scheduled for load-out in the coming weeks, each advancing to wind turbine integration ahead of the summer installation campaign. As we celebrate this milestone, we also invite you to follow our progress as the full WindFloat® array takes shape in the Gulf of Lion! When commissioned in the fall, EFGL will result in 105 MW of WindFloat® capacity operating across our three projects, with insights directly informing upcoming commercial projects. Thank you to our people, clients, and partners for accomplishing this milestone, and for your continued trust, support, and collaboration.

I believe in floaters but cannot show this is even approximately an economic solution. My advise is to return to the drawing board!

4moSo great to see the 1st of 3 units getting wet! Looking forward for the other units and to see them offshore with the WTGs spinning! I wish that the operations run smooth and safe.
