On September 9, 2021, the Bundesnetzagentur has announced the results of the first offshore wind tender for pre-investigated sites under the so called “central model”.

EDF Renewables is very pleased to have received the award for the 433 MW site N-3.8 in the German North Sea after having submitted a zero bid on September 1, 2021. Since a competitor holds a step-in right for this site, the award will not be final until the beginning of November 2021.

EDF Renewables is a leading company in the renewable energy sector worldwide. The company develops, builds and operates renewable energy power plants in more than 20 countries – with a strong focus on onshore wind, offshore wind and solar energy.
