France awards 300 MWp rooftop solar and 808 MW wind in latest PPE2 tenders

SolarNews Brief

France has selected 326 rooftop solar projects totaling 300 MWp and 39 onshore wind projects totaling 808 MW in the latest PPE2 tender rounds. The result is important because it shows the country continuing to use regulated auctions to push distributed solar and wind capacity forward despite permitting and grid constraints.

Renewables Now reports that France's energy minister designated the winners after proposals from the national energy regulator. The tender outcome includes a large number of rooftop PV projects, which matters for commercial and industrial solar developers because it keeps distributed generation inside the national procurement framework. For the wider European market, France's PPE2 awards provide another data point on how auction design is shaping solar deployment at a time of grid bottlenecks and changing power prices.
