A winning project from the French AO6 tender

Méditerranée Grand Large

In 2022, BW Ideol has signed an agreement with the consortium made of EDF power solutions (previously EDF Renewables), a subsidiary of the EDF group, and Maple Power, a joint venture between CPP Investments and Enbridge Inc., to cooperate on the design of floating foundations for the AO6 floating offshore wind tender.

This call for tender related to two sites with a capacity of 250 MW each. Combined, these two projects should produce the equivalent of the domestic electricity consumption of approximately one million inhabitants. BW Ideol is already bringing its expertise to EDF Renouvelables & Maple Power within the frame of the South-Brittany Tender (AO5).

The project company Eoliennes Méditerranée Grand Large, owned by the EDF Renewables and Maple Power consortium, has won the tender to design, construct, operate, and decommission a future floating offshore wind farm of approximately 250 MW, located 25 km off the French Mediterranean coast near Fos-sur-Mer. BW Ideol welcomes the awarding of this project, which will enable the launch of an industrial value chain in the Mediterranean, following the realization of the first pilot farms.

In November 2025, BW Ideol became a minority shareholder in the project company Eoliennes Méditerranée Grand Large through its subsidiary BW IPC (co-owned with Ademe Investissement).  

 

 

  • Capacity: 270 MW
  • Installation site: 25km off Fos-sur-Mer
  • Water depth: 60 to 130 m
  • Key role: Floating Foundations conception and Co-developer

We are extremely proud to be the technology partner of the winning consortium led by EDF Renewables and Maple Power. This result demonstrates that BW Ideol’s technology is a winning solution for floating wind farm developers.
