Iberdrola France joins France Energies Marines

Last March, Iberdrola France and the Institute for Energy Transition (ITE) France Energies Marines signed a research and development agreement. Iberdrola France is therefore now a member of the Institute. The arrival of Iberdrola France, an internationally renowned energy supplier, makes it possible, with the help of additional financing and its expertise, to support and strengthen France Energies Marines in the development of offshore wind and marine energies, through collaborative Research & Development projects.

Already involved in several collaborative projects of France Energies Marines via its French subsidiary Ailes Marines , Iberdrola notably supported the FISH INTEL project and is currently contributing to the SEMAFOR and FISHOWF projects. The latter in particular aims to assess the impact of offshore wind farms and their connection on the use of wildlife (fish and shellfish). In collaboration with Ailes Marines , the teams mobilized by the Institute were then able to deploy an acoustic telemetry network in the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm, with the aim of studying the behavior and movements of several important marine species. .

Encouraged by the Institute's shared R&D capacity, new projects will soon strengthen this partnership in connection with the growth of offshore wind power on the French coasts.
