On 2 August the French government launched its sixth offshore wind tender after a public consultation process has identified two areas within which two floating offshore wind farms, each with a capacity of 250 MW, will be located. Vattenfall has been shortlisted by the French State to enter the next phase of the competitive process.The project is expected to be awarded by the end of 2023. Once in operation at the end of the decade, these offshore wind farms are expected to produce fossil free electricity equal to the need of around 500 000 French homes. Vattenfall is also participating in two other tenders in France, off the coast of Normandy and South Brittany, both of which are expected to be awarded first quarter 2023.
