The French government announces atender session for the month of June, with a record volume of more than 2 GW of solar projects (1.5 GW ground-mounted and 800 MW rooftop). This decision comes after a difficult period of high failure rates in recent tenders for ground and rooftop segments. These failures were mainly caused by changes in the specifications, which resulted in non-compliance of the submitted files.
Tenders for carbon neutrality: the importance of the government’s decision for renewable energies
The Syndicat des énergies renouvelables (SER) and ENERPLAN welcome this ambitious and reactive decision of the government in the context of the energy emergency. This record volume session will not delay the development of the solar industry in France. It is also expected to do better than in 2022 and make up for the failure rate of the previous session.
SER and ENERPLAN stress the importance of this decision in order to respect the trajectories set out in the Multiannual Energy Program (PPE) and put the country on the path to carbon neutrality. Renewable energies need visibility and ambition, especially in a context where discussions on our energy future are entering a pivotal phase.
