RWE Remporte AO 13 pour Éolien en France

Wind power, a fast-growing sector in France, has reached a significant turning point with the publication of the results of the call for tenders (AO 13) by the CRE (Commission de Régulation de l’Énergie). At the heart of this development is RWE, a major German player in the field of renewable energies, which recently scored a significant victory.

A strategy that pays off

Of the 931 megawatts (MW) at stake, RWE has secured 119MW gross and 80MW pro-rata. This success is not an isolated event, but the result of a well-honed strategy. Katja Wünschel, CEO of RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, underlines the effectiveness of this approach, thanking her teams for their work in a complex market. Indeed, this success demonstrates RWE’s ability to carry out joint projects in France, in partnership with companies such as Vent du Nord and David Energies/Energiter.

A Diversified and Committed Portfolio

RWE’s commitment to sustainable development is reflected in its varied portfolio. Through these five winning projects, the company will install 37 wind turbines spread over four different regions: Centre-Val de Loire, Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire and Nouvelle-Aquitaine. However, this geographical deployment marks a growing diversification of RWE’s portfolio, underlining its ambition to make the energy transition a tangible, local reality.

A Local and Sustainable Impact

RWE’s choice of projects that are well integrated into their local environment is not insignificant. It reflects a desire to promote initiatives that are competitive, respectful of their context and beneficial to communities. What’s more, this approach is part of a long-term vision aimed at reconciling the imperatives of sustainable development with local needs.

With a total of 384 megawatts acquired from 13 wind power tenders in France, RWE has established itself as a key player and pioneer in the renewable energies sector. This positions the company as a key player in the energy transition, ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

RWE’s recent success in the AO 13 tender underlines its strategic positioning and commitment to cleaner, more sustainable energy.
