France to Launch Second Offshore Wind Round

France to Launch Second Offshore Wind Round

As Reuters writes, the French Government is about to launch the second round of offshore wind tenders for two locations.

The first location is 705MW Le Treport in northern France and a second off the island of Noirmoutier with a capacity of 600 MW.

Earlier this year France awarded four out of five locations for offshore wind development.

GDF Suez and Siemens failed in a bid to develop the fifth site which will be on tender on September 16.
