The French government has announced the launch of a €10 billion tender offer to build five offshore wind farms, in a bid to boost the country's renewable-energy industry.
The wind farms, which will comprise some 1,200 wind turbines off the north and west coast of France, should generate 3.5 per cent of the country's electricity output.. The initial tender will be followed by a second in April 2012. The farms will come online between 2015 and 2020.
