The entire Eole Constructing team is delighted to welcome Isabelle Guillard. With 12 years of experience as a surveyor in public works and strong hands-on expertise—particularly gained through earthworks carried out for several wind farm projects—Isabelle joins our team as a valuable addition.

Her field expertise, understanding of operational challenges, and mastery of engineering tools further strengthen the team’s capabilities, both in drawing preparation and construction supervision. Her arrival fully aligns with Eole Constructing’s commitment to relying on experienced professionals to support its clients with professionalism, reliability, and responsiveness.

2025-10 / Repowering is gaining momentum at Eole Constructing!

The renewal of wind farms, also known as repowering, is taking on a growing role in the French energy landscape. At Eole Constructing, this trend is clearly visible: since 2024, nearly 30% of the projects we support involve repowering operations, compared to only 10 to 15% in previous years.

This shift can be explained by several key factors:

• – A first generation of wind farms is reaching the end of its technical and economic lifespan after 15 to 20 years of operation;
• – Current technologies make it possible to replace old turbines with more powerful ones, often using fewer towers while doubling or even tripling energy output;
• – The regulatory framework is gradually evolving to encourage such operations, with a focus on land-use optimization and energy performance.

Eole Constructing has adapted to this trend by developing specific expertise in managing repowering projects, particularly in optimizing schedules to maintain energy production as much as possible and handling administrative procedures, including the ATTES-wind process.

2025-06 / Drone*: an everyday tool at Eole Constructing!

“A good picture is worth a thousand words !” With just a few photos, you can assess the progress of your wind farm’s construction or observe the surroundings of your future project.

EOLE CONSTRUCTING provides high-quality, tailor-made aerial drone photography services for both the construction and development phases. These can be used for reporting, crop damage assessment or site monitoring, for example, to provide a work history that can be used to support an ATTES wind farm file.

* Remote pilots are certified in sub-categories A1 and A3, and drones are registered with the DGAC.

2025-04 / EOLE CONSTRUCTING partner of EUROTANDEM

EOLE CONSTRUCTING is sponsor and partner of EUROTANDEM, a tandem tour of France to promote blood donation, organized by engineering students from INSTITUT MINES-TELECOM (IMT) Nord-Europe from April 11 to 26, 2025.

The 32 future engineers will travel 2000 km on the roads of France over 17 days, taking turns on five tandem bikes, symbols of solidarity and collective effort.

At each stopover city, the engineering students will be raising awareness of blood donation and collecting appointments and pledges, in cooperation with the Etablissement Français du Sang.

2025-01 / Repowering: it’s possible to do better with fewer wind turbines!

Between now and 2030, around 500 wind turbines a year will have to be replaced, which, according to ADEME (the French Environment and Energy Management Agency), could lead to an estimated gain in power of over 5 GW by 2030. This is a real collective challenge, with many issues at stake, and one in which Eole Constructing is putting all its experience and expertise to good use!

Eole Constructing has been active in this new Repowering sector since 2021, supporting project owners to:

• Optimize the dismantling/assembly schedules of old/new wind turbines, with the aim of continuing operation to the maximum ;
• Requalify and adapt existing infrastructures ;
• Study demolition operations to minimize environmental impact, and select the best referenced companies ;
• Study the re-use of demolition materials or the sale of wind turbines.

In 2024, Eole Constructing provided project management assistance for the repowering of a wind farm in Brittany, where 11 wind turbines were dismantled and replaced by 7 more efficient ones (the wind farm grew from 19.7 MW to 29.4 MW). In addition to its operational support, Eole Constructing was a driving force behind proposals for environmental measures (particularly with regard to dismantling), and provided its expertise and support with regard to administrative procedures with government departments, including the DREAL, to obtain the ATTES-Eolien.

Eole Constructing is continuing its Repowering activities from the start of 2025 with the launch of a new project in Brittany, where 5 old turbines will be replaced by 5 new, more powerful wind turbines.

2023-09 / September: an intense back-to-work period!

No less than 9 new wind farm sites are starting in September 2023! While having ensured the continuity of activities for all the projects in progress during the summer vacation period, the Eole Constructing team is supporting 6 project owners in the regions of Hauts de France, Brittany , Pays de la Loire and New Aquitaine.

At the same time, work on the wind farms started in the 1st half of the year continues, as does the sustained engineering activity for projects in the development phase.

2023-05 / Long live spring!

After having sown during the autumn and winter in the grey, the humidity and the cold, the Eole Constructing Team sees the wind turbines rise under the spring sun, whose fruits will be harvested from the beginning of the summer for many years.

2023-02 / Growth confirmed!

At the beginning of this year, EOLE CONSTRUCTING has just been selected for the realization of 6 new wind farms in the west of France for the missions of Project Management Assistance. These projects, totalling more than 67 MW, will start construction in the 1st and 3rd quarters of 2023.

At the same time, Eole Constructing’s engineering know-how has enabled us to carry out a dozen access studies on French territory as well as the engineering of 8 wind farms for the design of the project plans in 3 dimensions.

2022-11 / November, a month of concrete!

During the month of november, Eole Constructing’s teams supervised the pouring of more than 5,000 m3 of concrete for the construction of the wind turbine concrete foundations.

Now it’s time for the backfilling and finishing work before the delivery and installation of the wind turbines early next year.

2022-10 / Commissioning of 3 new wind farms

In October, Eole Constructing saw the culmination of several months of work with our clients with the commissioning of three new wind farms with a total installed capacity of 48 MW.

In parallel, the construction of three new wind farms has begun and repowering is continuing.

2022- 04 / EOLE CONSTRUCTING is repowering 3 windfarms

EOLE CONSTRUCTING is repowering three windfarms, dismantling some windturbines Vestas V47, Nordex N90, et Enercon E66.

Each repowering requires customization and contributes to increase our experience and know how : we have to imagine new organization and schedule plannings, to use new cost saving possibilities, and to discover the new players of the international market for second-hand windturbines.
