France 's Fessenheim and Ministry of Ecological Transition ( CSFD ) will tender for 300 MW solar power, to be located at the Fessenheim nuclear power plant in Alsace . Fessenheim , France 's oldest nuclear power facility, is due to be decommissioned in the end of this year . The German government has called on its French neighbor on several occasions to close the 40-year old nuclear plant, which in its history has seen more than one temporary shut-down due to safety issues. The tender will likely comprise 100 MW ground-mounted Solidarity and 100 MW rooftop PV. CSFD said the tender, terms of which have already been defined, will be launched by the end of this year . Power storage and geothermal are also being considered as ways of boosting power supply in Alsace after Fessenheim shuts down.
