On 4 June 2025, the Îles d’Yeu and Noirmoutier (EMYN) offshore wind farm began exporting its first electricity to the French national grid via the RTE-developed grid connection infrastructure, which comprises both offshore and onshore components linking the offshore substation to the mainland. Following an initial testing phase that started on 23 May 2025, the first Siemens Gamesa turbines were energised and connected, marking first power over the Yeu-Noirmoutier 225 kV export system and the start of the final operational stretch before full commissioning later in 2025.
