Contract Details
Description
Météo France provided meteorological (metocean) assessment work for the Golfe de Gascogne Sud offshore wind zone (Sud-Atlantique façade), supporting the pre-tender technical studies for the area. The official Eoliennes en mer project page for Golfe de Gascogne lists Météo France as the author of the zone’s 2025 meteorological studies, indicating its role in producing wind- and storm-related evidence to inform project planning and risk assessment. The referenced deliverables comprised a 2025 report evaluating “risques usuels liés au vent” (wind risk assessment) and a 2025 analysis of “tempêtes et des vagues extrêmes” (extreme storms and wave conditions). These studies contribute to characterising key atmospheric and sea-state parameters and extremes relevant to offshore wind development, including design and operational conditions, site feasibility comparisons, and the broader planning dossier for the AO10 South Atlantic / Bay of Biscay zone. No contract value, award date, or quantity metrics were stated on the page for these studies.
