• Amongst the 7 awarded projects, 5 are fully owned by RWE, one is co-developed with Vent du Nord and another one with Escofi.
• This result positions RWE as the top awardee in the latest auction, ahead of 22 other selected companies.
• This new success, following the two projects awarded during the most recent solar auctions, further strengthens RWE’s position as a leading player in the French market.

The French Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) has just published the results of the latest onshore wind bidding round for a total capacity of 930 megawatts (MW) at an average price of €87.61/MWh. Seven projects have been awarded to RWE, representing a prorated capacity of 151 MW and a total capacity of 183 MW. Among these projects, five are fully owned by RWE, while two are being co-developed—one with Vent du Nord and the other with Escofi.

Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia: “I would like to extend my congratulations to all the teams who contributed to RWE’s success in the latest French tender. This great result once again reflects the strength of our strategy, made possible by our experienced team and the quality of our project pipeline.”

A diversified portfolio

The seven awarded projects will add 35 wind turbines across four regions in France—Centre-Val de Loire, Grand Est, Hauts-de-France, and Normandy—further enhancing the geographical diversity of RWE’s development pipeline. The first turbines could be commissioned as early as 2027, with additional installations expected through 2028.
