Par vincent le vendredi 21 juillet 2017

Energy Observer, the first energy self-sufficient boat powered solely by renewable energies and hydrogen was officially named in Paris on 6 July after sailing from Saint-Malo to the mouth of the Seine, then up the Seine to the French capital.

The boat was built in Canada in 1983 as a maxi-catamaran (length: 30.5m, beam:12.8m). In 1994, as the Enza New Zealand, she won the Jules Verne Trophy with Peter Blake at the helm.

On 12 July, STX France’s Saint-Nazaire yard began assembling the substation for the Arkona offshore windfarm being developed by German power utility E.ON, Norwegian group Statoil and German company 50Hertz. The Baltic windfarm, comprising sixty 6-MW Siemens turbines generating enough electricity to power 400,000 homes, is scheduled for completion in 2019.

The 385-MW substation, for delivery in Q2 next year, will be one of the most imposing structures of its type anywhere in the world.
