The European Commission has approved France’s plan to develop three floating offshore wind farms that will add 1.5 GW, diversify the supply chain, support the EU’s 2030 renewable target and supply power to 450,000 French households.

The CJEU’s decision (C‑461/24) upholds Galicia’s environmental permitting framework and lifts the judicial freeze on nearly 100 wind farms, a critical step towards meeting PNIEC targets and attracting investment into the sector.

The ICSID has rejected Spain’s request to annul the award ordering it to pay more than USD 106 million to Japan’s Eurus Energy, affected by the withdrawal of wind energy subsidies.

France will support three 500MW floating offshore wind farms with a €11bn scheme using CfDs, promoting 2030 targets, supply chain diversification, and safeguards against overcompensation to reduce reliance on Chinese components and accelerate the clean energy transition.

The Greco and Baro wind farms will supply competitively priced energy to the Ferroatlántica Group’s silicon metal production plant in Sabón (A Coruña).

The European Court of Justice has validated the Xunta de Galicia’s environmental assessment procedure and clarified doubts regarding public participation in renewable energy projects. The ruling could unlock investments worth over €3 billion in the region.

The Wind Energy Business Association (AEE), representing the Spanish wind energy sector, highly welcomes the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) announced today, which supports the legality of the procedures followed in Galicia to authorize wind energy projects. The wind energy sector urges that the necessary measures be adopted responsibly and diligently by the institutions to allow the stalled projects to resume their progress.
