Saipem got an order from 460 million euro for a series of interventions in the Courseulles-sur-Mer offshore wind farm, in France. The agreement provides for the design, construction and installation of 64 foundations for as many wind turbines. This was announced by Saipem in a note, specifying that the contract - awarded by the company Eoliennes Offshore du Calvados Sas - is subject "to the positive final investment decision by Eodc".
The plant is located 16 kilometers off the coast of Calvados, in Normandy, where the water depth varies between 22 and 31 metres. The foundations consist of large steel piles with a connection interface with the wind turbine, which will be manufactured in Europe and installed by the Saipem 3000 vessel.
The client company is supported by a consortium formed by Edf Renewables, Eih (a subsidiary of Enbridge) and Wpd Offshore France.
mid morning, the share on the Saipem Stock Exchange gains 0,32% (to 2,175 euros), in line with the Ftse Mib, which in the same minutes travels up by 0,26%.
