Météo France

Météo France carried out météo-océaniques (metocean) measurement campaigns for the Centre Manche zone that underpins the Centre Manche 2 offshore wind project. The project timeline indicates these campaigns ran from winter 2020 through winter 2024, as part of the early “études de connaissance” (knowledge and site-characterisation studies) conducted ahead of the competitive tender and subsequent project development. The work scope comprised offshore metocean measurements used to characterise wind and ocean conditions (météo-océaniques) in the Centre Manche area. Such datasets typically support wind resource and extreme condition assessment, informing key development decisions including preliminary turbine/load assumptions, marine operations planning, and the broader technical baseline for design and consenting activities. This role relates to the development-stage monitoring and assessment programme for the Centre Manche 2 zone, rather than construction or operations. The source does not specify a contract award date, contracting entity, or commercial terms; it only attributes the metocean measurement campaigns for the period winter 2020–winter 2024 to Météo France.
