On 15 September, the French government officially announced the list of prequalified candidates for the upcoming offshore wind tender in South Brittany, the first commercial floating tender in France. Vattenfall is pleased to have been shortlisted to enter the next phase of the competitive process together with French-based developer wpd and floating offshore wind pioneer BlueFloat Energy alongside nine other candidates. The announcement follows the launch on 30 April 2021 of the French government’s fifth offshore wind tender process, decided after a public consultation that identified an area of 130km2 South of Brittany within which the future floating offshore wind farm will be located.
