RWE has decided to invest in the 44MW Les Nouvions wind farm in the Hauts-de-France region of Northern France.
Construction is expected to start at the beginning of 2022 and the project is expected to be fully commissioned in 2023.
The wind farm will have 11 Nordex N149/3960 TS 105 turbines.
RWE Renewables France country chair Joseph Fonio said: “We are putting our many years of experience into the development, construction and operation of wind farms.
“As part of this process, we are relying on local partnerships and getting stakeholders involved on site.
“This will allow us to support France in achieving its climate targets and to stand by its side as a reliable partner to drive the energy transition.”
In 2020, RWE acquired a French onshore wind and solar development pipeline of around 1.9GW.
The company has recently commissioned its first onshore wind farm, the 26.4MW Les Pierrots, while two other projects with a total capacity of 33MW are expected to be completed in 2022.
RWE chief operating officer onshore wind and solar Europe and Asia-Pacific Katja Wünschel said: “We are pushing ahead with the expansion of our renewables portfolio in France.
“The French market is very important to RWE and we consistently tap into growth potential.
“In addition to Les Nouvions, we are working relentlessly to implement other French onshore wind projects.
“We have recently commissioned our first onshore wind farm in France, two other projects are under construction.”
