Calvados

PROJECT

The Calvados wind farm will create around 1,000 local jobs and supply 315,000 households (equivalent to around 630,000 people) with offshore wind power.

Skyborn, together with its partners EDF power solutions and EIH S.à. r.l, a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc. and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments), has been awarded with the development, construction and operation of the Calvados wind farm in 2012.

The Calvados wind farm will benefit from turbines manufactured in Le Havre, while foundations should be manufactured in Europe. The 64 x Monopile type foundations are built and installed by Saipem.
