RTE is the French high and extra-high voltage electricity TSO (transmission system operator). As such, RTE is in charge of balancing the production and consumption of electricity at all times, as well as developing, executing, and operating the onshore and offshore national grid.
Offshore grid connection projects to connect wind farms to the network form part of a very ambitious programme in France to achieve net zero by 2050 by bringing 40 GW of offshore wind generation into service. For all these projects, RTE is responsible for the offshore windfarm grid connection, from the offshore substation to the onshore substation and inland national grid. The connections are HVDC or HVAC, depending on the project.
The Centre National Expertise Réseau (CNER) is the engineering expertise centre for the national electrical network. CNER defines the technical reference frameworks and policies for the engineering aspects of these major projects (subsea cables, offshore electrical substations, HVDC land cable systems, HVDC converter stations). It is involved in qualifying the equipment and conducting the detailed technical studies for project teams.
Within the CNER organisation, several departments are involved in offshore grid connection and interconnector projects.
The tasks and prerogatives of the CNER teams are mainly to:
