Iberdrola’s Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm in Brittany exported its first electricity to the French national grid on 5 July 2023, after a testing phase under the supervision of Iberdrola’s maritime coordination centre in Côtes‑d’Armor. This marked the first offshore wind power ever fed into Brittany’s grid and only the second offshore wind project to produce power in France, with energy collected by the offshore substation and transmitted via two 225 kV subsea export cables to Caroual beach in Erquy and then to the Doberie substation at Hénansal, ahead of further turbine commissioning.
