Areva SA, the supplier of turbines for three offshore wind-power projects in Germany, said it’s set to grab a share of the U.K. market, the world’s biggest, as developers move into deeper waters further from shore.

The Paris-based company, whose main business is nuclear power equipment and services, is talking with “many customers” across Europe and has “more projects in the pipeline” in addition to those announced in Germany and France, Jean Huby, head of Areva’s wind-power unit, said in an interview at the European Wind Energy Association conference in Copenhagen.
