Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on 10 GW Offshore Wind Auction in France, CWHI, Innergex, among others.
France Plans 10 GW Offshore Wind Auction, Boosting Floating and Fixed Renewable Capacity
France will merge its AO9 and AO10 offshore wind tenders into a single 10 GW auction, reinforcing its renewable energy strategy and investment outlook. The tender will include 5 GW of fixed-bottom and 5 GW of floating wind capacity, expected to be launched by 2027. The move provides greater market visibility and supports innovation in floating wind technology, with industry leaders welcoming the strong pipeline and policy clarity. Priority for European-manufactured components further strengthens regional supply chains. Aligned with France’s PPE3 energy plan, the initiative highlights the country’s commitment to electrification, energy security, and reducing reliance on global fossil fuel markets through scalable, low-carbon solutions.
CWHI Completes Inch Cape Transition Piece Delivery, Marking Offshore Wind Milestone
CWHI has completed delivery of all 30 transition pieces for the Inch Cape offshore wind farm, with the final batch arriving at the Port of Leith, Scotland. The project highlights significant investment in offshore wind infrastructure and global supply chain execution. Each unit, up to 28 metres tall and weighing around 600 tonnes, reflects advanced engineering and innovation in turbine foundation technology. The company also marked over 1.8 million safe work hours, underscoring strong operational performance. As the first Chinese supplier to deliver fully commissioned transition pieces to a UK offshore wind project, CWHI strengthens its international presence while supporting the UK’s renewable energy expansion and low-carbon transition.
Innergex Commissions 13 MW La Cense Wind Farm in France with Community Investment Support
Innergex Renewable Energy and EOLFI have commissioned the 13 MW La Cense wind farm in France’s Oise region, advancing renewable energy deployment and local engagement. The project features four Nordex N117 turbines and is expected to generate 33,000 MWh annually while avoiding around 1,425 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. Backed by a 20-year power purchase agreement, the project reflects strong investment and long-term revenue stability. A community funding initiative raised over €2.6 million, highlighting local participation in clean energy development. This milestone aligns with Innergex’s strategy to expand its French portfolio, combining innovation, sustainability, and community-driven growth in the transition to low-carbon energy.
