Among these companies, a hundred have successfully signed 260 contracts in offshore wind and marine technologies in France and abroad. This know-how, which has been validated by project owners, can be found across the entire value chain: environmental studies and measurements, engineering and equipment, metal construction, electrical equipment, energy storage and conversion, operation and maintenance.
With the construction of current wind farms and the development of offshore renewable projects, other references are to come.
