RWE has commissioned four new wind farms and one solar plant in France this summer, adding a total of 83 megawatts (MW) of renewable capacity. The projects, located across Hauts-de-France, Normandy, and Nouvelle-Aquitaine, began construction in 2024 following RWE’s successful participation in the French Energy Regulatory Commission’s (CRE) 2023 onshore wind and solar tenders.
In Hauts-de-France, RWE completed the Catillon-Fumechon wind farm (21.6 MW, six turbines) in the municipality of the same name, the Catésis-Bois Marronnier wind farm (29.2 MW, eight turbines) in Troivilles and Reumont, and expanded its Nouvions wind farm with four new turbines adding 19.2 MW. In Normandy, the Ormesnil wind farm (9.6 MW, two turbines) was brought online. Meanwhile, in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, RWE commissioned the Les Pierrières solar farm in Ardillières, equipped with 7,420 photovoltaic modules and a total capacity of 4.2 MWp. Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia: “The commissioning of our five new wind and solar farms within just a few weeks is testament to the capabilities of our French teams in managing multiple projects simultaneously. A big thank you to the RWE team, the local communities and all the companies and partners involved. The projects can supply green electricity to around 40,000 French households. In our journey to support France in building a clean, stable and cost-effective energy supply we are using the French wind and sun. Looking ahead, the next projects are already in the starting blocks.”
