At the Grenelle Environment Forum, the French government committed to covering 23% of final energy demand from renewable resources by 2020, 7% of which will come from offshore wind farms. As a result, between 2015 and 2020, offshore wind farms will be installed along the French coast, and particularly in the Mediterranean. In April 2016, Quadran Energies Libres submitted its EolMed project in response to the “Floating Wind Pilot Farms” call for projects published by the French Environment and Energy Management Agency. Within EolMed, Quadran Energies Libres wished to identify, within the framework of its future concession, the legal and institutional prospects for the diversification of maritime economic uses compatible with the installation of floating wind turbines.

Project description
Role of Marepolis
MAREPOLIS, in charge of this entire study, has carried out an inventory of the authorisation schemes for the occupation and use of the public maritime domain that could be integrated into a floating wind farm pilot farm and their compatibility with the main concession regime (electricity production). This inventory was accompanied by a list of the regulations and management methods of the concession according to the activities envisaged and their geographical location. MAREPOLIS was also led to predefine the ways of integrating potential uses, the mode of organisation of the concession with a view to its multi-use governance and its main characteristics.
