Foundation installation for Fécamp Grand Large 2 (AO10 Centre Manche Est-2) is projected to start in 2031 (year precision), the year after the offshore construction window opens in 2030. The schedule sits within the 17 October 2024 decision's ~2035 operationality horizon and is consistent with the sibling AO5 floating project Pennavel (foundation/anchoring installation in the 2029-2031 "Construction & Installation" window per pennavel.bzh), shifted ~10 years forward to reflect AO10's later award (end 2026 / early 2027). Detailed foundation design (monopile vs jacket vs gravity-base) will be set by the AO10 award winner — the current foundations[] entry is a fixed_tbc placeholder.
