OIL major Shell and state-owned Chinese energy company CGN on Tuesday (Nov 15) said that they would drop their plan for a floating wind power project on France’s Brittany coast, citing inflation and supply chain problems among other reasons.
“The project faced several technical, commercial and financial challenges, all in a context of constantly increasing costs and very strong constraints in terms of inflation and supply chain,” the companies said in a joint statement.
The wind farm would have been located off the coast of Belle-Ile, an island popular with tourists and co-financed by a regional public investment bank.
“The economic conditions linked to the project have been significantly modified”, the companies said. REUTERS
