How much solar power does France have in ?
In alone, the country added 4.6 GW of new solar capacity, bringing its cumulative total to 22.1 GW.1 This growth shows no signs of slowing. According to SolarPower Europe, France’s operational solar capacity could reach 52 GW by , implying an additional 30 GW of installations over the next four years.2
What is the solar coverage rate?
The solar coverage rate corresponds to the proportion of electricity consumption in France covered by photovoltaic solar power generation. It enables us to assess the evolution of solar power's share of the French energy mix.
How is France preparing for a solar project?
To meet these targets, France will rely heavily on structured tendering procedures. Beginning in the first half of , 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.
