TotalEnergies (EU:TTE) of France and German utility RWE (TG:RWE) have been awarded the contract to develop and manage a major offshore wind farm off the coast of Normandy, the companies confirmed Wednesday.
The Centre Manche 2 initiative is expected to involve an investment of around €4.5 billion ($5.32 billion) for planning, construction, and operation. TotalEnergies emphasized that this represents its largest single investment in France in the past three decades.
The 1.5-gigawatt facility is projected to produce sufficient clean energy to supply more than 1 million households, highlighting the scale of the project.
This offshore wind venture aligns with France’s broader strategy to expand renewable energy output and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
