On 15 September 2011, the French Energy Regulation Committee (CRE) issued a set of rules covering the applicable conditions for the new tender process for photovoltaic (PV) projects in France with a capacity exceeding 250kw. This tender process is designed to help France meet its target of obtaining 5400 MW of its power from solar energy by 2020.
The publication of these rules, which form part of a larger regime designed to encourage increased energy production through use of solar facilities, follows the publication on 1 August 2011 of the rules for Roof-Mounted PV Panels with a capacity ranging from 100kw and 250kw.
