2025 is a pivotal year for the renewable energy sector, with a range of high-impact projects nearing final investment decision (FID). These ventures, spanning offshore wind, solar and onshore wind, are set to unlock
Increasing demand for clean energy sources is one of the primary drivers for the solar energy market in the country. The solar power capacity is set to continue expanding with a target of around 18–20 GW installed by 2023. In 2021, France's solar PV installed capacity accounted for more than 14.71 GW.
The French authorities are expected to allocate 450 MW for ground-mounted PV installations exceeding 5 MW in size, 180 MW for PV projects with an installed power of between 500 kW and 5 MW, and 70 MW for projects ranging from 500 kW to 10 MW, which will be built on parking shades.
in 2021 and 2022. Thus, this high-ca-pacity factor combined with newly installed capacities, created a total (onshore and ofshore) wind power energy output of 50.7 TWh, repre-senting an increase of 33% com-pared to 2022. Wind power produc-tion accordingly accounted for 10.2% of electricity consumption (excluding ove
Wind power is becoming a major source of revenue for the state. Through the “additional remuneration“)CR mechanism, the wind industry as a whole has contributed several billion euros to the French state’s general budget in 2022 and 2023.
In November 2021, TotalEnergies launched its largest photovoltaic solar power plant in France, with a capacity of 55 megawatts (MW). The solar farm is located northeast of Gien (Loiret), comprising 126,000 photovoltaic panels spread over 75 hectares.
Industrial activities in offshore wind are primarily concentrated in the north-west and south-east. To date, more than 124 MW have been dismantled for repowering since 2018. The repowering momentum is expected to further accelerate in the coming years.
