Abstract

A law adopted in 2015 marked a change in French policy in favour of renewable energy. A number of ministerial decrees and orders were issued starting in early 2016 introducing significant changes to the financial support of renewable electricity. In various sectors and for several years France has launched tender procedures as a means to fix the guaranteed purchase price when feed-in tariffs apply (e.g. photovoltaic, offshore wind, wood). Beyond certain capacity floors, the country is now applying the principle of direct selling on the market with additional compensation. The promotion of heat from renewable sources has undergone fewer changes since the previous regulatory framework proved to be quite effective, especially for wood and heat pumps. Only the biofuel sector faces uncertain future demand. France holds great potential for many renewable sources; alongside the most common sectors (biomass, hydro, wind, photovoltaics) the country can also develop less widespread sources, ocean energy or high-temperature geothermal energy, for example. France is also striving to stimulate research and innovation in this area.
