A group of companies led by Electricite de France SA won a government tender to build the country’s largest offshore wind farm, edging out rival bids led by companies such as as Engie SA and TotalEnergies SE.
The state-controlled utility, together with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Enbridge Inc., was been awarded the right to build a 1-gigawatt wind farm off the coast of Normandy, enough to power about 800,000 homes, the Energy Transition Ministry said in a statement on Monday. The commissioning of the facility is expected in 2031.
