All 7 sources fetched successfully. source-0 (oceanwinds.com): confirmed 30 MW EFGL, May 4 first power, 110,000 MWh/yr, 50,000 inhabitants, 85%/99%/60% supply chain stats, Windram and Hirt quotes verbatim, Biohut/Ecocean, 250 MW EFLO. source-1 (offshorewind.biz May 2026): confirmed Biohut/Ecocean nature-inclusive designation but does NOT mention '32' units — that number is misattributed to this source. source-2 (energyglobal.com): confirmed Windram quote, Hirt quote, 85%/99%/60% supply chain. source-3 (energiesmedia.com): confirmed Almirante quote verbatim. Note: article says Almirante is 'Senior Executive Vice President for Renewable & Flexible Power' but source says 'in charge of Renewable & Flexible Power' — minor paraphrase in title. source-4 (principlepower.com/projects/efgl): confirmed 16 km, Leucate/Le Barcarès, Vestas V164-10 MW, WindFloat, 70-100m water depth, 50,000 inhabitants, Eiffage Métal Fos-sur-Mer fabrication, wet tow to Port-La Nouvelle, AND confirmed '32 Biohut® units' — this is the correct source for that number. source-5 (principlepower.com/news/efgl): confirmed 2 MW WindFloat 1 Portugal, 25 MW WindFloat Atlantic, redeployment to Scotland, 48 MW Kincardine, 2,000 tons primary steel. source-6 (offshorewind.biz Sept 2025): confirmed RTE as grid connection operator. Allowlist warnings: oceanwinds.com (operator company press releases), energyglobal.com (energy industry trade publication), energiesmedia.com (energy sector media), principlepower.com (technology developer) — all credible specialized sources for this topic.

Core claims all verified: 30 MW EFGL, May 4 2026 first power, 16 km offshore Leucate/Le Barcarès, 3×10 MW Vestas V164 turbines on WindFloat semi-submersibles, 70-100m water depth, 110,000 MWh/yr, 50,000 inhabitants, 85% French/99% European/60% SME suppliers, world's first nature-inclusive floating wind farm. TWO MINOR ISSUES: (1) '32 Biohut® units' attributed to Offshore Wind (source-1) but that number only appears in Principle Power source-4 — misattribution of a specific figure to the wrong cited outlet; (2) Almirante's title rendered as 'for Renewable & Flexible Power' vs source text 'in charge of Renewable & Flexible Power'. Both are minor and correctable.

Substantively accurate and well-sourced article on an important renewable energy milestone. Two minor attribution issues (wrong outlet cited for 32 Biohut units, slight title paraphrase for Almirante) are correctable via the corrections mechanism. APPROVE_WITH_CORRECTIONS.
