On 2 August, the French government launched its sixth offshore wind tender after a public consultation process has identified areas between 296 and 364km² within which two floating offshore wind farms of 250 MW capacity will be located.
Vattenfall has been shortlisted by the French State to enter the next phase of the competitive process alongside 12 other players. The project is expected to be awarded by the end of 2023. Vattenfall is also participating in two other tenders in France, off the coast of Normandy and South Brittany, both of which are expected to be awarded first quarter 2023.
