Vattenfall prequalifies, together with partners wpd and Banque des Territoires, for the upcoming 1GW French offshore wind tender off the coast of Normandy.
On 15th January 2021, the French government launched its fourth offshore wind tender after a public consultation process identified an area of 500km2 within which the future offshore wind farm will be located. Similarly to the previous round off the coast of Dunkirk, Vattenfall has partnered with German developer wpd and French institutional investor Banque des Territoires. The alliance has now been shortlisted by the French State to enter the next phase of the competitive process alongside five other players. The project is expected to be awarded by spring 2022.
