Iberdrola is the sole owner of the planned 2.4 billion euro, 62-turbine, 496MW Saint-Brieuc windfarm, which will be located 16km off the French coast, in the Golfe de Saint-Malo. The appeal concerned the technical modification of the windfarm, and the change of turbine model. However, these were actually found to have a lower environmental impact, paving the way for construction to begin in 2021, with start-up expected in 2023. The 62 8MW turbines, standing at an impressive 207 metres high, will be built in France, at Siemens Gamesa Renew
