LONDON, May 13 (Reuters) - German utility RWE RWEG.DE and Australia's Macquarie Capital MQG.AX have made a joint bid to the Dutch government to build two 350 megawatt offshore wind farms, a spokesman for RWE Innogy, its renewable energy division, said on Friday.
"I can confirm that RWE and Macquarie Capital submitted a bid for the first auction round for the Dutch offshore projects Borssele I and II," he told Reuters.
The two companies are going head-to-head with a consortium made up of oil major Shell RDSa.L , Dutch energy company Eneco ENECO.UL and contractor Van Oord NV. Dutch media have reported other companies, including Denmark's Dong Energy IPO-DONG.CO , have also submitted bids.
