1、EbookState of Green:FranceTransitioning away from fossil fuels is a growing priority for many European countries,including France.Contrary to many nations,France has been showing progress in developing a low-carbon electricity mix.However,more work is needed to meet its ambitious decarbonization goa

2、ls.France is a foundational member of the European Union,positioning itself as a leader in climate action through its green investments and initiatives.It was among the first countries to target net zero emissions and carbon neutrality.Still,accomplishing these goals requires a complete energy syste

3、m overhaul.France is in a good position to help the environment,sourcing 88%of its power from zero-emission sources like nuclear and hydropower.However,decarbonization requires a multi-faceted approach,including minimizing carbon-intensive sources and increasing renewables.This report will explore F

6、er emissions in France came from nuclear energy.While nuclear power emits no greenhouse gasses,France aims to reduce its dependence on it.The plan is to cut nuclears mix share to 50%by 2035.This shift is due to the instability caused by nuclear power in 2022,which left France heavily reliant on impo

7、rted electricity.With nuclear generation reduced,Frances next largest electricity sources are fossil fuels like oil,natural gas,and coal.But with ambitious economy-wide carbon neutrality goals set for 2050,France was looking to phase out coal entirely by the end of 2024.However,it extended its use t

9、 expansion has so far displaced nuclear power rather than fossil fuels.In 2022,solar and wind accounted for 13%of Frances electricity generation,while hydropower provided another 10%.For France to meet its climate targets,analysis shows it must triple its renewable energy capacity while also reducin

10、g overall energy consumption by one-third by 2035.This metric underscores the need for massive growth in clean energy over the next decade.The energy sector in FranceThe solar PV sector in France02.The solar PV sector in FranceSolar photovoltaics represent a sizable opportunity for France to scale u

11、p renewables while boosting energy independence and supporting economic growth.As a result,solar deployment has accelerated in recent years.In 2022 alone,France added 2.4 GW of solar PV capacity to its grids.The country maintained momentum into the first quarter of 2023,installing 601 MW during this

12、 period,which brought the total installed capacity up to 17.15 GW nationwide.The solar PV outlook is bright,but France needs to pick up the pace to reach its targets.The solar plan put forward by the French government aims for 48.1 GW of capacity by 2030 and 140 GW by 2050.However,at the current tra

13、jectory,France is set to fall short on an interim 2023 target of having 20.1 GW of solar power online.In response to this gap,the government passed legislation designed to stimulate and streamline renewables development.This included a more comprehensive definition of an agrivoltaic installation in

14、order to encourage the installation of solar panels on the land where no environmental harm is done while contributing to the overall sustainability of the agricultural plot.With supportive policies and rapid deployment at scale,solar PV can realistically provide over 25%of Frances electricity by 20

15、30 on its path to carbon neutrality.But more robust government action is required to unlock the immense potential of solar across the country.Now,lets look at the projects driving Frances PV output toward their renewable targets.25%of energy could be solar in 2030,this is the target for France.The m

16、ost significant solar PV projects in France03.Cestas Solar ParkFrances largest solar installation is the Cestas Solar Park.Located near Bordeaux,it was built in 2015 and has an installed capacity of 300 MW,the largest in Europe at the time.It consists of 983,500 PV modules and cost 360 million to bu

17、ild.Neoen owns 40%of the plant with a consortium made up of Eiffage,Clemessy,Schneider Electric,and Krinner.In a year,it produces around 355 GWh and feeds the grid at a rate of 105 per MWh.Near Bordeaux2015300 MWThe most significant solar PV projects in FranceToul-Rosires Solar ParkBuilt on a former

18、 NATO air base over a decade ago,the Toul-Rosires solar park was the largest solar plant in France before Cestas was constructed.With 1.4 million panels,it has a 115 MW installed capacity,enough to power 55,000 households a year.Near Nancy2013115 MWThe most significant solar PV projects in FranceOth

19、er projectsOther PV contributors include the Les Mes Solar Park in Southern France,which powers between 9,000 and 12,000 homes.It is built on a plateau with ideal conditions to maximize solar radiation and reduce dust levels.Gabardan Solar Park is another notable addition,producing 67.5 MW from a mi
