RWE Renewables Europe and Australia CEO Katja Wünschel stated: “I would like to congratulate the teams who have achieved these results in a complex market. These five winning projects with our partners underline once again how effective our strategy in France is.

“We owe this to our experienced team, which manages a large portfolio of development projects. Our ambition is to promote competitive projects that are very well integrated into their local areas with the aim to make energy transition a reality.”

In September 2023, the German company received a development consent order in the UK for its Awel y Môr wind farm off the coast of north Wales.

Set for completion before 2030, Awel y Môr will power 500,000 homes.

The project will sit next to the 576MW Gwynt y Môr wind farm and is being developed by RWE in a joint venture with Stadtwerke München and Siemens Financial Services.
