France Energie Eolienne (FEE) welcomes the results of the country’s first tender for large onshore wind projects – but there could be danger ahead.

The tender for large onshore plants (more than six turbines, or including machines with nominal capacity bigger than 3MW) saw 22 projects, accounting for 508.4MW, rewarded with an average price of €65.4/MWh ($80.5/MWh).

About 900MW-worth of projects were candidates, ensuring a good level of competition.
