CRE Proposes Adapting Support Scheme for Large Photovoltaic Installations with Storage

France's Commission de régulation de l'énergie (CRE), the national energy regulator, published on March 19 a note detailing proposed amendments to the specifications governing large photovoltaic (PV) installations above 100 kilowatt-peak (kWp). The aim is to encourage the development of hybrid projects combining PV and storage, which the regulator considers better suited to the electricity system's needs. The proposals have been shared with the Lévy-Tuot Mission, currently examining these issues. The solar sector continues to expand, as illustrated by the recent inauguration of an 8.6 MWp solar facility by Safran Aircraft Engines and GreenYellow at Évry-Corbeil.
