The consortium formed by wpd, Vattenfall and BlueFloat Energy reveals the name of their project for the fifth offshore wind tender off the coast of Southern Brittany, for which it is prequalified since the 15th of September 2021.
The choice of the name Triskéol fully reflects the identity of the consortium: the combination of three major players in offshore wind with unique expertise who embrace a consultative approach, anchored in the territory close to local stakeholders.
Triskéol is the association of the Triskel, a characteristic symbol of Celtic art, and of Aeolus, the keeper of the winds. In addition to a strong link with the Breton culture, the name refers to the wind, a natural source of energy, and the wind turbine, which transforms the wind into renewable electricity.
The colors of the logo also reflect the local footprint and the strong identity of Brittany with the choice of black and variations of blue. We find in fact the black of the traditional Breton flag (Gwenn ha du), and the blue-green (Glaz) typical of the Breton seas where the floating wind farm will be located. The symbol perched over the name of the project evokes, of course, a wind turbine in motion, which turns towards the future.
With the name Triskéol, the consortium of wpd, Vattenfall and BlueFloat Energy blends into the culture of the Brittany region and demonstrates its desire to anchor itself in the territory.
