German electric utility RWE has won five onshore wind tenders in the latest bidding round held in France, with 119MW of gross capacity and 80MW pro-rata capacity.
The company secured the five projects from France’s Commission for the Regulation of Energy.
Three are 100% owned by RWE and two will be developed with partners Vent du Nord and David Energies/Energiter.
Across 13 onshore wind power tenders in the country, RWE won a total of 384MW, becoming the third most awarded company.
It now plans to install 37 wind turbines across the regions of Centre-Val de Loire, Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire and Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Construction is expected to commence by the end of 2024, with operations beginning in 2025.
RWE Renewables Europe and Australia CEO Katja Wünschel stated: “I would like to congratulate the teams who have achieved these results in a complex market. These five winning projects with our partners underline once again how effective our strategy in France is.
“We owe this to our experienced team, which manages a large portfolio of development projects. Our ambition is to promote competitive projects that are very well integrated into their local areas with the aim to make energy transition a reality.”
