James Fisher Renewables has been picked to identify unexploded ordnance (UXO) on RTE’s grid connection for the Fecamp offshore wind farm in France. The marine subcontractor will identify UXO along the export cable routes starting this month and complete the job within two months. The 18km export cable, which will sit at depths between five and 35 metres, will provide the electricity transmission connection for the 71-turbine offshore wind project located 13-22km off the north-west coast of France. In preparation for laying the cable, RTE has contracted JF Renewables to identify and investigate potential UXO along the length of the cable's planned routes, with confirmed targets to be disposed of by the French Navy in line with regional legislation.
