Three wind farms will be located in the Mediterranean, while one will be along the coast of the Grua island, in Briton, Ouestfrance-entreprises.fr.portal reported.

These pilot parks, as it was communicated, have a two-year deadline but in the case of technical and economic success, they will be able to function in the next 15-20 years.

At the end of last year, total power of wind parks in the world totaled 370 GW, 130 GW of which in Europe.
