Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, said: “I'm proud of this result, which demonstrates our ability to consistently come up with new, competitive projects to accelerate the development of renewable energies in France. Our ambition seamlessly aligns with our results, as demonstrated by the high-quality of our projects and the dedicated teams driving them forward.”
This technology-neutral tender was an opportunity to put different renewable energy technologies in competition with each other. Located in the French department of Charente-Maritime and covering an area of 4 ha., this fixed solar power plant will have a total capacity of 4 MWp. On the other hand, the onshore wind project will be located in the Loire-Atlantique department. The local authorities launched a call for projects, which was won by RWE, resulting in the creation of a wind farm including three turbines with a total capacity of 11 MW.
