France Awards 1.5GW In Largest Ever Ground-mount Solar Tender

The French government awarded contracts for the development of 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of ground-mounted solar projects in what is being called the largest-ever ground-mount solar tender in the country. The tender was launched by the French Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) and attracted significant interest from developers. The projects will contribute to France's goal of increasing its renewable energy capacity and reducing its dependence on fossil fuels.

The tender process involved competitive bidding, with developers submitting proposals and competing for contracts to develop solar projects. The projects will be installed in various locations across France, utilizing available land for solar energy generation. The selected projects will contribute to the country's renewable energy targets and help in the transition toward a greener and more sustainable energy system.

The awarded contracts will lead to the development of utility-scale solar projects, which will generate electricity from sunlight and feed it into the power grid. Ground-mounted solar projects are generally characterized by large-scale installations and are often installed in open areas or on previously unused land. They typically employ photovoltaic (PV) technology, converting sunlight into electricity using solar panels.

The successful completion of this tender demonstrates the commitment of the French government to expanding renewable energy generation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It also presents new opportunities for solar developers and the local economy, as the construction and operation of these projects will create jobs and drive investments in the renewable energy sector.

Overall, the awarding of 1.5 GW of ground-mount solar projects in France's largest-ever tender represents a significant step forward in achieving the country's renewable energy goals and contributing to the global transition toward cleaner energy sources.
