France’s government has launched a tender to build a 1 GW offshore wind farm in Normandy. France has identified a zone off the coast of Normandy for a new 1GW wind farm and has announced a tender for its development.
The planned wind farm will be located 32 km off the coast of Cotentin and will be the eighth offshore wind farm in France. The government's current multi-year energy plan calls for tenders for wind farms for a total generation of 2.5 to 3 GW by 2024.
