Iberdrola, a leading player in offshore development in France 

Our most emblematic installation on French soil is undoubtedly the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm, the first large-scale offshore wind project in Brittany and the second in France. The connection of the first wind turbines to the French grid in July 2023 was a milestone for the company's offshore development and also for the country. Inaugurated in September 2024, the wind farm has a total installed capacity of 496 MW thanks to its 62 wind turbines, that is enough clean energy to supply the electricity consumption of 835,000 households in France.
