What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
This is genuinely commissioned hardware delivering electricity to the French grid from 3×10 MW turbines on floating foundations, backed by the EDPR/ENGIE JV — the most mature of the three. Guardrails apply only because it is still pilot-scale at first power.
Next
Treat floating offshore wind as a maturing, real generation source; track EFGL's first full-year output and the 250 MW EFLO scale-up for capacity-factor and LCOE evidence before assuming commercial-scale viability.
