The
Treport
and
Noirmoutier
zones
will
invite
bids
for
a
total
of
1.3GW
of
capacity,
made
up
of
700MW
and
600MW
respectively,
says
industry
body
France
Energie
Eolienne.
The
new
round
is
apparently
intended
as
an
adjunct
to
the
country’s
first
round
of
offshore
tenders,
which
awarded
1.93GW
in
April.
Treport
was
included
in
that
process,
but
was
not
awarded
after
attracting
just
one
bid,
from
utility
GDF.
The
government
hinted
that
a
much
bigger
tender
will
follow
in
2013
to
propel
France
towards
its
target
of
6GW
of
offshore
wind
capacity…
