(CercleFinance.com) – Drone Volt announces the sale of drones (six HERCULES 2 drones and two HERCULES 20 drones) and a training program for refueling and control missions of an offshore wind farm, to GE Renewable Energy Offshore Wind, a subsidiary of GE Renewable Energy.
This contract comes at a time when GE Renewable Energy has been chosen by a consortium led by EDF Renouvelables for the installation of a new wind farm off Saint-Nazaire comprising 80 wind turbines, all of which have an airstrip of diameter of 5 meters.
The HERCULES 20 drones will notably be tasked with depositing the equipment necessary for the maintenance of the wind turbine, while the HERCULES 2 will be used to train pilots and carry out inspection missions.
