RWE secures two projects in the French Regulation photovoltaic bidding round

Among the 103 awarded projects, two projects were granted to RWE for a total capacity of 23.1 MWp (19.6 MWac).

Katja Wünschel, CEO of RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, responded: “This success in the CRE auctions supports our growing presence in the French solar market.”

RWE continues its expansion in the solar energy industry with the award of two ground-mounted projects using fixed technology. The Gannat solar farm, located in the French department of Allier, will consist of 14 337 panels, delivering a total installed capacity of 7.9 MWp (6.3 MWac). The Pimorin project, in the Jura department, further strengthens the group’s presence in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, where it is already active through the Allerey wind farm in the Côte-d’Or departement. The Pimorin project will generate 15.2 MWp (13.3 MWac) from 27 702 modules.

Since entering the French market at the end of 2020, RWE has commissioned 176 MW and is currently developing more than 1.7 GW of onshore wind projects and nearly 1.1 GWp of solar projects.
