4 FAQs about France s solar power target

Will France reduce its solar PV target by 2035?

Image: Axpo. France has revised down its solar PV target by 2035 from 100GW to 90GW in its latest Multiannual Energy Programme (PPE3). In the latest draft, which is open to consultation (in French) until April 05, the French government has revised its targets from 75-100GW – set in November 2024 – by 2035 to 65-90GW.

Can France achieve 65 GW solar capacity by 2035?

To achieve 65 GW installed solar capacity by 2035, France will need to install 4 GW/year. The annual required limit increases to 7 GW/year to reach the 90 GW target. In 2023, France deployed 3.2 GW of capacity and 3.5 GW in 9M 2024 (see French Solar PV Installed Capacity Reaches 23.7 GW).

How much solar power does France have?

Last year, the country added 4.7GW of solar PV, which puts it closer to the new annual target set for 2025 than the previous one set at 3GW. Utility-scale installations represent more than half of the operational solar parks in France, with 54%. Of that percentage 38% is for ground-mounted solar PV and 16% for rooftop PV.
