A new phase in the development of the offshore wind sector 

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy's (SGRE) facility in Le Havre has reached a new stage with the inauguration of its extension.

The project adds 12,700 sq.m of floor space, bringing the total footprint of the SGRE site to nearly 80,000 sq.m.

This extension represents an investment of €200 million and will create 200 additional jobs. 

An industrial facility serving renewable energy

The site will notably manufacture 115-metre recyclable blades designed for the latest generation of offshore wind turbines.

This investment also reflects the growth of a strategic sector supporting Europe's energy transition and the development of a decarbonised maritime industry.
