Megalis Bretagne raises the tone in the face of delays

The full rollout of very high speed broadband via fibre optic cable in Brittany is scheduled for 2026. However, in addition to the containment and health crisis, the RIP Mégalis Bretagne is also facing delays accumulated by its partners: the Suez Safege subsidiary, Axione, Artelia/Orange and Snef. Phase 2 is due to be completed by the end of 2022, while phase 1 of the project is already two years behind schedule.

 

The Syndicat Mixte, representing 1,233 communes in Brittany, has therefore just imposed its first penalties for a total estimated amount of 600,000 euros. For its part, Megalis Bretagne should release eight million euros of additional credits in 2020.

 

Axione, the Bouygues subsidiary, has announced the creation of 350 additional jobs to complete the project, which is due to be completed by 2026. In view of the delays in Côtes-d'Armor and Ille-et-Vilaine, the joint venture has just launched a new call for tenders to select construction companies that are "fully operational" by 1 January 2021, covering 15,000 sockets to be built.
