BW Ideol adds NGE to Mediterranean floater push

Automatically composed with AI from the cited sources

BW Ideol and NGE have taken equal equity stakes in the Fos3F venture and jointly submitted a bid for 30 ha of port land with 400 m of quay, targeting a facility that can produce about 30 concrete floating foundations per year — roughly 500 MW of wind capacity. The project has already secured up to €126m in public support, comprising a €74m EU Innovation Fund grant and a €52m French green industry tax credit. The partners are positioning the Fos-sur-Mer site to supply France’s combined AO9/AO10 offshore wind round, in which about 3.2 GW of new floating capacity is planned for the Mediterranean.
