TotalEnergies and RWE have joined forces again in order to submit a bid in the French government’s Centre Manche 2 (AO8) tender for an offshore wind site off Normandy.
The AO8 site can host a project with an installed capacity of between 1.4GW and 1.6GW.
It is located near the AO4 project area, about 40 km off the Cotentin peninsula in Normandy.
The AO4 and AO8 projects combined can host an installed capacity of around 2.5GW.
During prequalification, the TotalEnergies and RWE consortium will continue the dialogue established at SA4 with local and regional stakeholders to involve them at all stages of the AO8 project.
“TotalEnergies, as a historical player in the Normandy region, is delighted to renew its partnership with RWE to respond to the Centre Manche 2 project.
“Together, we will mobilise all our expertise to provide the best solutions to the technical, commercial and societal challenges of this ambitious project, with the aim of integrating offshore wind energy into a strong territorial dynamic,” said Vanessa Godefroy, Director of Offshore Wind Europe at TotalEnergies.
