estimated chance this project reaches commercial operation
Under Construction projects complete ≈97% of the time on Hafrok's record. A secured offtake contract lifts this one slightly; a market with a thinner delivery record and technical complexity pull a little the other way.

How Hafrok got this date
1
Starting point: the last dated milestone
Construction start in
2024. From there Hafrok adds how long similar projects (in developing offshore-wind markets) took to reach commercial operation, measured on projects that have delivered.2
Typical timing
Starting point plus the typical remaining time gives a middle estimate of
2027; the faster quarter of similar projects would be done by 2026, the slower quarter not until 2027 Q3.3
Result
Expected commercial operation
2026, likely range 2026–2028 (the middle half of outcomes for similar projects). The developer's announced date falls inside that likely range, so the announced date is adopted.4
Year-by-year chart
The bars spread that estimate across years using how similar projects actually slipped against their dates — more often late than early, which is why the bars lean right.
5
Chance of delivery — separate from timing
Start from the share of Under Construction projects that went on to complete — ≈97%, measured on Hafrok's record of delivered and abandoned projects, with an allowance held back where that record cannot yet speak (projects still unresolved, changed market conditions). Based on the measured record — all 257 construction starts with a final outcome reached operation — adjusted down for projects still mid-build and for legal-challenge risk. Then adjust for this project's own evidence — offtake, market, size, technical complexity — to ≈98%, which rates it

ENGIE and EDPR signed an alliance with Sumitomo Corporation for the development of two French offshore wind projects: Dieppe-Le Tréport and Îles d'Yeu et de Noirmoutier. As part of this alliance, EDPR sold 13.5% stakes in each of the two projects to Sumitomo. The combined reported consideration was approximately EUR 42.8 million across both projects (EUR ~21.4m per project, pro-rata by capacity). Post-transaction ownership of Dieppe-Le Tréport: ENGIE 31%, EDPR 29.5%, Sumitomo 29.5%, Banque des Territoires 10%. The project structure was held via Eoliennes en Mer Dieppe-Le Tréport (EMDT). The EUR 42.8m figure was reported by Renewables Now and covers both projects combined; per-project split is estimated pro-rata and is approximate. The project held its environmental authorisation (Autorisation environnementale) from February 2019.

Ocean Winds was formed in July 2020 as a 50-50 joint venture between ENGIE and EDP Renewables, created as the exclusive vehicle for both companies' offshore wind assets and pipeline. Upon formation, Ocean Winds absorbed ENGIE's 31% and EDPR's 29.5% stakes in Dieppe-Le Tréport (60.5% combined), becoming the majority shareholder via EMDT. No external consideration was paid; this was an internal corporate restructuring of existing ENGIE and EDPR offshore wind assets. The Ocean Winds formation announcement described a total portfolio at inception of 1.5 GW under construction and 3.7 GW under development. Sumitomo (29.5%) and Banque des Territoires (10%) retained their direct stakes in EMDT. Final Investment Decision was taken April 27, 2023, with financing signed April 26, 2023. The project reached construction and is expected COD H2 2026.

Hafrok counts foundations and turbines from satellite radar images (≈): a structure is counted once it is seen standing in the sea, which is not the same as producing power. A structure first seen in the last 60 days is not yet confirmed, because on a single image a freshly set foundation and a ship holding position look alike. Substation platforms are left out so the counts compare with the number of turbines. Rows marked with a dot (·) come from Hafrok’s own registers; a supplier or contract appears only where a source states it — everything else reads “not recorded”, never guessed.
