The 500 MW Fécamp offshore windfarm, located off the coast of Fécamp, and the 450 MW Calvados offshore windfarm, located off the coast of Courseulles-sur-Mer, are both owned by EDF Renewables, E.I.H., a subsidiary of Enbridge and CPP Investments, and wpd. The two projects will be the third and fourth offshore commercial wind farms in France.
