A consortium led by EDF confirmed its turbine order to Siemens Gamesa for Courseulles-sur-Mer, now known as Calvados, after wrapping up financing on the €2bn ($2.4bn) French offshore wind project that has needed to steer a path through the sensitivities of D-Day veterans and scallop fishers alike.
Siemens Gamesa in 2019 had managed to snatch away the 448MW project from GE, but since then remained only as preferred supplier before the confirmation on Monday.
