Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--France's Ministry of Energy unveiled plans for 2.5 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind tenders, which are set to be awarded by October 2025. Additionally, the ministry is considering 10 GW of offshore and floating wind-power tenders by September this year.
France aims to streamline the tender process, reducing it to about12 months from the current 2.5 to three years. France's offshore wind aspirations extend to floating offshore windfarms, with the winner of the tender for the country's first commercial 250-MW project set to be commissioned by by 2031. Notably, the awarded contract for difference (CFD) for this project is reported to be significantly below the 140-euro-per-megawatt-hour (MWh) limit set in the tender process.
With projects like the Saint-Nazaire plant already connected and several others in progress, France aims to reach 18 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2035 and an impressive 45 GW by 2050.
Industrial Info is tracking 21 wind projects offshore France, totaling more than US$45 billion. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Project and Plant databases can click here for a list of detailed project reports and click here for a list of related plant profiles.
