On 26 February 2019, the Préfète de la région Normandie, Préfète de la Seine-Maritime, and Préfet de la Somme co-signed a series of arrêtés inter-préfectoraux authorising the realisation of the Dieppe-Le Tréport offshore wind farm and its grid connection. The 2019 package includes the autorisation environnementale (AE) under articles L.181-1 et seq. of the Code de l'environnement and the approval of the concession d'utilisation du domaine public maritime (DPM concession) between the State and EMDT for the offshore wind installations. Per the tightened schema, the AE and the DPM concession are each project-wide consents under the modern French OWF regime; this event captures the OWF-side AE/DPM bundle. The arrêté ministériel autorisation d'exploiter (AOEx) for EMDT had been signed earlier on 12 October 2018 (recorded as a separate other_permit_awarded event).</description> </invoke>
