The 1.5 GW project, awarded by France in 2023, marks TotalEnergies’ latest push into European renewable energy infrastructure.
TotalEnergies has submitted an authorization request for its €4.5 billion Centre Manche offshore wind project, targeting 1.5 GW of capacity off Normandy’s coast. The filing follows an eight-month period after the French government awarded the project to the energy major in 2023.
The application includes detailed technical and environmental assessments, aligning with France’s broader renewable energy expansion goals. The project is part of TotalEnergies’ strategy to scale its low-carbon energy portfolio, though regulatory approval timelines remain uncertain.
No immediate market reaction was reported following the announcement, which focuses on long-term infrastructure development rather than near-term financial impact.
