The French Directorate General for Energy and Climate (DGEC) launched a public consultation in March 2025 on the design of the tenth offshore wind tender (AO10), which is planned to award 8.4–9.2 GW of capacity by the end of 2026, including a ~2 GW floating wind project on the Mediterranean coast corresponding to the Golfe du Lion Centre zone. The consultation seeks stakeholder feedback on plot configuration, commissioning timelines, tender rules, and safeguards to avoid a single bidder winning all sites before the call for tenders is formally issued.
