What is the wind energy sector in France?
- To learn more about France's wind energy sector, please read their chapter in the IEA Wind TCP 2021 Annual Report. Total wind power capacity is 18,900 MW. Wind power capacity in France increased by 1,200 MW in 2021. France produces 36.8 TWh from wind energy, which accounts for 7.8% of the country’s electricity consumption.
What are the challenges facing Europe's wind industry?
- The difficulties come as European governments are calling for more wind farms. The European Union recently increased already ambitious targets for wind generation by the end of this decade to almost triple the amount available at the end of last year.
Can the environmental impact of offshore wind farm development be reduced?
- From the previous discussion of ways in which the negative environmental impacts of an offshore wind farm development could be reduced, and potentially even be made positive, the following answers to the original questions in this study can be produced:
What happened to France's offshore wind farms?
- Launched in 2011 and 2013, the first six commercial offshore wind farm projects experienced protracted development delays due to difficulties, that were eventually overcome. The French State launched an initial request for tenders, aimed at awarding operating authorizations for five wind farms, i.e. 3,000 MW 1 total capacity in 2011.
