The French State has identified a new site as suitable for the 'fast track' procedure, and extended the capacity reservation for an existing site

To support the State's re-industrialisation and digital sovereignty strategy and strengthen its attractivity to high-power industries, the French NRA (the Commission de regulation de l’énergie – CRE) approved a specific procedure on 7 May 2025 for the rapid connection of very high-power consumption facilities on suitable sites. 

In accordance with the conditions outlined in Article 1.4.3 of the Technical Reference Documentation (Article_1.4.3 fr), the French State has asked RTE to pre-reserve 700 MW of capacity at the "Grande Industrie" area of the "Grand Port Maritime de Dunkerque" (Bourbourg, Nord, Hauts-de-France).
This pre-booking is valid for up to nine months from 15 December 2025 and can be extended by up to three months if a land allocation selection process is ongoing at the end of the nine months.

The State has also asked for an extension of the A GW capacity pre-booking at the ZAC du Bosquel site in the commune of Le Bosquel in the Somme department (Hauts-de-France). This pre-booking, which initially was supposed to end on 16 february 2026, is thus extended for three more months.

The pre-reserved capacity is immediately reserved and will be taken into account in the exploratory studies and technical and financial proposals (and not accepted), which are affected by this reservation.
