DELAYED +4yr (May 2026): The AO7 Oléron 1 tender closed with zero bids in Sept-2025 and the site is being re-offered via the bundled AO9/AO10 mega-tender, with results expected end-2026/early-2027. With award not expected until ~2027 and a major HVDC grid connection build still ahead, the prior GlobalData-based assumption of offshore construction starting in 2028 is no longer realistic; pushing to 2032 to reflect a more typical post-award development/permitting + pre-construction lead time. --- A GlobalData profile for the 1,000 MW Oleron Offshore Wind Farm in the Bay of Biscay indicated that overall project construction was expected to commence in 2028, ahead of a planned commercial operation date in 2032.
