The 400 km² Golfe du Lion Centre zone in the French Mediterranean façade was designated as a priority area for offshore wind by the ministerial decision of 17 October 2024, following the "la mer en débat" national public debate. The zone hosts three floating lots in the AO10 / Procédure de Mise en Concurrence n°1/2026 — Projets 6, 7 and 8 of Groupe PPE3 (Groupe PF, Projets Flottants). GLC 1b (Projet 7) is the second floating lot, at 500–600 MW, sharing the FEP zone designation and offshore grid pairing (RTE-built) with sibling lots GLC 1a (Projet 6, same capacity range) and GLC 2 (Projet 8, 1,050–1,150 MW).
