France has awarded 507.6MW of PV to 77 developers in its second major large-scale solar auction, for projects ranging between 500kW and 17MW capacity.
According to the draft, France will launch 2 calls/year for ground-mounted solar PV plants with 1 GW capacity sought each year, starting from H1 2025. For rooftop solar, it will launch 3 tenders/year with 300 MW capacity each.
Across the long-term tender process run by the French Electricity Transmission Network (RTE), where TotalEnergies was given battery storage capabilities in France, this project was chosen.
By 2030, the country expects to reach 54GW of installed solar PV. To reach its 2030 and 2035 targets, the country aims to add at least 5.5GW of solar capacity per year

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 18β20 GW installed by 2023. In 2021, France's solar PV installed capacity accounted for more than 14.71 GW.
According to the draft, France will launch 2 calls/year for ground-mounted solar PV plants with 1 GW capacity sought each year, starting from H1 2025. For rooftop solar, it will launch 3 tenders/year with 300 MW capacity each. A technology-neutral tender will also be launched every year for a total of around 500 MW.
In the latest draft, which is open to consultation (in French) until April 05, the French government has revised its targets from 75-100GW β set in November 2024 β by 2035 to 65-90GW. By 2030, the country expects to reach 54GW of installed solar PV.
The solar power capacity is set to continue expanding with a target of around 18β20 GW installed by 2023. In 2021, France's solar PV installed capacity accounted for more than 14.71 GW. Solar PV has over 24.71% share of the total renewable energy mix. This is due to increasing projects on solar energy across the country.
To meet these targets, France will rely heavily on structured tendering procedures. Beginning in the first half of 2025, the government plans to launch two annual tenders for ground-mounted solar projects, each awarding 1 GW of capacity. In parallel, three rooftop solar tenders per year are scheduled, with each round targeting approximately 300 MW.
Last year, the country added 4.7GW of solar PV, which puts it closer to the new annual target set for 2025 than the previous one set at 3GW. Utility-scale installations represent more than half of the operational solar parks in France, with 54%. Of that percentage 38% is for ground-mounted solar PV and 16% for rooftop PV.
