The assembly of the wind turbine masts
of the Saint-Brieuc park will be carried out on the
Brest polder

Under the leadership of Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and Ailes Ailes Marines , the offshore wind industry in France will now participate in the production of offshore wind turbine masts.
These masts will be intended for the SG 8.0-167 DD wind turbines which will equip the Saint Brieuc offshore wind farm.
The assembly of the 62 masts in Brest is part of the continuity of the industrial plan initiated by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy triggered by the Saint-Brieuc project, with its factory dedicated to the manufacture of wind turbines located in the port of Le Havre (76) , which will ultimately mobilize 750 jobs.

The French company Fouré Lagadec, a specialist in industrial maintenance and boilermaking dedicated to energy, and the Spanish company Haizea Wind, manufacturer of wind turbine masts and offshore foundations, were selected by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy to assemble the masts of the SG 8.0-167 DD offshore wind turbines intended for the Saint Brieuc wind farm.
The industrial plan proposed by the partner companies includes the creation of new industrial capacity financed to the tune of 11.8 million euros by the company Ailes Marines .
Construction work on this new assembly unit should start at the beginning of 2022 with commissioning planned for the end of 2022. This construction and civil engineering work will also result in the employment of local labor and services while throughout this year before starting.
“Thanks to the experience of our partner Haizea Wind and the impetus given by Siemens Gamesa and Ailes Marines , we hope to be able to take on a major industrial challenge: proving the viability and competitiveness of a mast manufacturing sector. offshore wind turbines in France. The potential and promises of development of the French and European market give us hope, but it will take the mobilization of all private and public stakeholders to succeed in this industrial challenge” declared Vincent Poulard, Director of the North-West region of Fouré Lagadec.

The project to create the EMR terminal at the port of Brest was initiated, supported and financed by the Brittany Region and its partners, the Finistère Departmental Council, Brest Métropole and the Metropolitan CCI of Bretagne Ouest.
The terminal, with an area of ​​50 hectares, is intended to accommodate industrial companies specializing in marine renewable energies (MRE);
installed wind turbine, floating wind turbine, tidal turbine and their industrial tools. Thanks to this port area with direct maritime access, the Brittany Region and the port of Brest contribute to the development of this new MRE sector.
