The Eiffage Construction Group, through a Belgian subsidiary, will build “electrical substations” to connect Brittany’s wind farms and in the Mediterranean, for an amount of more than 1.5 billion euros, according to a press release on Monday.
Smulders, a Belgian subsidiary of Eiffage Métal, signed with the Manager of the French Electricity Transportation Network Rote a “development and construction contract of three alternative electrical stations”, to connect three wind farms in the sea.
These are the parks of Brittany Southern, outside the islands of Groix and Belle-il-en -mer in Morbihan, and in the Mediterranean Sea of ”Narbonnaise Sud-Hérault and Gulf de Fos (AO6), as well as its future extensions (AO9)”, specifies the company.

Eiffage will have to build “foundations (jackets) and upper parts of the substations (topsis), which contain electrical equipment.”
The bases “will measure approximately 115 meters high, 25 meters wide and 35 meters long for the southern Brittany project, and approximately 110 meters high, 45 meters wide and 50 meters long for the South-Hérault and Fos Narbonnaise projects.”
The upper parts will weigh “approximately 5,000 tons and measure more than 20 meters high, 35 meters wide and 70 meters long.”
Eiffage claims 84,400 employees worldwide and a turnover of 23.4 billion euros, including 34% internationally.
