China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN) has signed an agreement in Paris with Belgium's Windvision to take over Esperance wind farm on Thursday.

Esperance has a total capacity of 81 megawatts, which is the largest ongoing onshore wind farm in Belgium.

This is a new step taken by CGN to expand in the European market after the UK and France.

CGN started its European subsidiary in France in 2014, mainly focusing on investment and acquisition of renewable energy such as wind power and solar energy.

Currently, CGN owns over 8.7 million kilowatts of overseas new energy holding capacity, mainly distributed in Asia, Europe and Middle East.

CGN is one of the enterprises with the largest holding capacity overseas.
