France aims to remove bureaucratic barriers to onshore wind
The French government aims to double the volume of onshore wind ahead of 2023 to upwards of 26 GW. The development will be helped along the way with measures including a simplification of rules and getting rid of protracted, fruitless complaint cases.
Last year, 1,692 MW wind power were connected to the grid in France. While this is more than any other year and brought the total French capacity up to almost 14 GW, France is still lagging relatively far behind Europe's other large nations. Only around 5 percent of French electricity is covered by wind, whereas this stake comes to almost a third in the UK or Germany for example.
