Project Timeline (2)
5 May 2022Cable Installation StartStale
Enedis and Orange planned to start installation of a new 7.5 km hybrid submarine cable between Lomener (Ploemeur) on the mainland and Quelhuit on Île de Groix from 5 May 2022. This final project phase involves positioning and laying the undersea cable, which combines three copper conductors for electricity transfer and an optical fibre for telecommunications, with landfalls at Ploemeur and on Île de Groix, and was scheduled to continue through June 2022.
Feb 2022Onshore Construction Start
Enedis began onshore construction works for the Île de Groix interconnector in mid-February 2022 by carrying out a 400 m horizontal directional drilling operation at Port Nâl on Groix. The six-week campaign, supported by a drilling rig and divers, prepared the landfall for the new hybrid subsea cable that will link Lomener (Ploemeur) on the mainland with Quelhuit/Quéhello on Groix.
