Fondation OPEN-C, test to accelerate Marine Renewable Energies (MRE)
The mission of Fondation OPEN-C is to operate the 5 French offshore test sites for floating wind turbines and renewable marine energy, to monitor the environmental impact of the projects and to contribute to the development of the sector.
Fondation OPEN-C brings together all offshore testing resources and infrastructures in France. As a non-profit public-interest organisation, created in 2023, it contributes to accelerate energy transition. Over the next 3 years, Fondation OPEN-C will make several major innovations, including the testing of prototypes of new-generation floating wind turbines and support many innovative MRE projects.
