Introduction
The offshore wind farm of Saint-Brieuc (Brittany) is composed of 62 turbines of 8MW each, with a total capacity of 496 MW. The turbines cover an area of 75 km2. The project, which started in early 2021 was developed by Ailes Marines, a company 100% owned by the energy company IBERDROLA.
In June 2023 the boat company Les Vedettes de Bréhat organized the first tours around the offshore wind farm. A 2h30 boat trip, during which the operator provides information (previously validated by the wind farm operator) about the wind farm to the visitors. This emerging “industrial tourism” also aims to inform citizens about the offshore wind farm. Given the success of the initiative, the boat company has decided to increase its offer by proposing further tours in future years.
