French power group GDF Suez SA (GSZ.FR) plans to partner with
Portugal's EDP Renovaveis S/A (EDPR.LB) to bid for offshore wind
farms in France, French business daily Les Echos reports Monday,
citing unspecified sources.
After a first round of tender offers for four wind farms off the
Northern and Western coast of France last year, the French
government plans a second round for two farms, of 500 megawatts
each, off the coast of Normandy by Le Treport and off the Western
coastline of Noirmoutiers.
The bids must be submitted by Nov. 29.
A spokesman for GDF Suez declined to comment while no one at EDP
Renovaveis was immediately available to comment.
EDP Renovaveis is a subsidiary of EDP Energias de Portugal SA
(EDP.LB).
