Fresh wind in the French regulatory framework
Challenges and opportunities for the wind energy sector
Wednesday, 16 March
14:00 - 16:00
Room 1122, Brussels Expo
Event overview
France currently has 5,660 MW of installed wind power, while it has set targets to extend this capacity to 19,000 MW onshore and 6,000 MW offshore by 2020. France therefore offers great opportunities for the wind power sector.
This event provided participants with an overview of the new regulatory framework under “Grenelle II” laws. Particular attention was paid to two aspects of this framework:
- the flat-rate taxation applied to companies connected to the power grid (IFER)
- regional schemes (schémas régionaux)
Presentations were given by lawyers specialised in energy law and renewable energies, as well as by regional decision-makers. The event was designed for all those interested in the wind energy sector in France.
