Nazaire Offshore Wind Farm Project
Roermond, The Netherlands – 17 December
2019. Eiffage Métal SAS awarded Sif Holding n.v.
the order for the delivery of 80 monopiles and the primary steel
for 80 transition pieces (77 KTon steel) for the 480 MW Saint-
Nazaire offshore wind farm in France. Sif’s scope comprises
manufacturing of the monopiles, storage at our MV2 facility and
delivery at our deep sea quay side in 2020-2021 and the delivery of
the primary steel for the transition pieces to Smulders
Hoboken.
The Saint- Nazaire wind farm is situated 12-20 kilometers
offshore in 12 to 25 meters water depth. Eolien Maritime France
(EMF), a joint venture of EDF Renewables and Canadian energy
infrastructure company Enbridge, will realize the project. It is
the very first offshore wind farm project to be built in France,
the commissioning of which is expected by end of 2022.
At release of Q3 trading update, the Vineyard Wind Project was
still in Sif’s orderbook for 2020. Since BOEM has not issued a
permit for the project, manufacturing in 2020 has become illusive.
The project is still in our orderbook but no longer for 2020.
Removing Vineyard from the 2020 orderbook and including Saint
Nazaire as a firm contract, the orderbook for 2020 now stands at
approximately 150 Kton, all as firm contracts.
Fred van Beers; CEO of Sif comments; “The Saint- Nazaire project
has been on our radar screen for quite a while. It was already in
our orderbook as a project under exclusive negotiations. We are
happy and proud that the project kick-off is finally there and we
can start production for this milestone project, which will
contribute to the ambitious French offshore wind plans. We thank
Eiffage for their trust in Sif and look forward to a fruitful
continuation of the cooperation with them and their subsidiary
Smulders Hoboken.
On Vineyard Wind, we remain in dialogue with our customer. As it
is still not clear when and in what configuration the project will
continue, we consider this project to be part of our mid-term
opportunity list”.
