The Renewable Energy Landscape in France
The renewable energy sector in France is undergoing significant growth, supported by increasing public and private interest. However, structural challenges persist, such as permitting processes and grid connection limitations.
“The main challenges include complex permitting processes, grid capacity limitations, and public acceptance. These factors often result in delays and increased costs for project developers,” Girasole representative said.
Marti noted: “Simplifying permitting procedures, strengthening grid infrastructure, and raising public awareness about the benefits of renewable energy are key measures. Additionally, policies promoting innovation, such as collective self-consumption and energy storage, would further accelerate the sector’s growth.”
In this context, collective self-consumption and energy storage are emerging as key trends. Girasole Energies confirms this interest, emphasizing its focus on self-consumption solutions to meet the demands of consumers and communities. Although energy storage is not currently a priority for the company, it continues to monitor technological advancements in this area.
