Delivering a 187MW secured pipeline of onshore wind and solar projects in France
We’re progressing a secured pipeline of around 187MW of onshore wind and solar projects in France.
We're nearing completion of our first onshore wind farm in France. The 28MW Chaintrix project in the La Marne department of the Grand Est region of France entered construction in September 2023 and is targeting commercial delivery in early 2025.
And we're progressing a second onshore wind project in La Marne department. This second smaller project is progressing towards construction, subject to a final investment decision.
