Following a national offshore wind tender launched by the French State in 2011, the Saint-Nazaire zone was one of four areas awarded in April 2012, with the project rights granted to Parc du Banc de Guérande / Eolien Maritime France (a consortium led by EDF Énergies Nouvelles, later EDF Renewables, with Enbridge and CPP Investments) to develop a 480 MW offshore wind farm of 80 x 6 MW turbines located more than 12 km off the Loire-Atlantique coast.
