France has the second largest wind resource in Europe and with 16.6 GW of installed wind power capacity is the 4th largest wind power market in Europe.

France has a unique offshore potential: 11 mio. Km2 coast and the offshore market starts to grow; approx. 3 GW has been awarded through tenders (in 2012 and 2014), where the first wind farms are expected to be commissioned in 2021-2022.

SiemensGamesa has currently 2.5 GW of wind turbines in the order book for upcoming French offshore park installations. At the same time 96 MW floating wind turbine parks divided into four pilot projects.

In the coming years  France aims to allocate 1 GW of offshore wind per year.

Join DWEA and the Danish Embassy in Paris and investigate the new opportunities on the upcoming offshore wind and meet the most important players in the market.
