The bundled tender targets a little over 10 GW across seven floating and four fixed‑bottom projects off Normandy, Brittany, the South Atlantic, and the Mediterranean. Developers must submit bids by 12 October 2026, with information requests accepted until 19 July. The notice, published in the EU Official Journal on 11 June, introduces new evaluation criteria on industrial resilience, environmental performance, and cybersecurity alongside price. The government had earlier signalled that combining the AO9 and AO10 tenders would award roughly 10 GW, with results expected around end‑2026 or early‑2027.
